COMMENCEMENT
EXERCISES

AAANNlOAO
Of the High School to be
Held Next Friday Night.
THE POPULACE EAGERLY
Looking Forward to the Appointed
Hour When the Sweet Girl Gradu-
ates Appear Behind the FoOtlights
and the Boy Orators Deliver ElO-
quent Addresses.
| In spite of the fact that members of
the school board have been fighting
among themselves sfor a month-one
and the other opposing them-PrOf.
Putnam and his corps of teachers have
| gone right ahead as usual with their
work and are now ready for commence
ment exercises.
| The high school exercises will take
place at the opera house next Friday
night and it is not unlikely that the
usual throng will endeavor to gain ad-
mittapce to the theater on that occa-
zion.
If there Is any one thing on earth
that the masses of the people are inter-
ested in it is the public school system
and the commencement exercises
which give all the pupils opportunity
| to display to the best advantage before
an admiring sudience, their learning
and accom- plish ments. are always looked
forward to with the keeuest interest.
This year will doubtless prove no ex-
ception to the rule and the thousands
of inhs bitants of Ell Paso will be just
as eager rs heretofore to secure good
seats at the opera house so as to be
able to observe to advantage the grace
and beauty of the sweet girl graduates
and hear her repeat her lofty ideas of
life and the future, or listen with rapt
attention to the magnificent bursts OF
oratory from the young men of the gra-
duating class.
This year the program Is an unusual
ly long one and it has been deemed
best by those in charge to discontinue
the usual practice of passing up flowers
and presents to the graduates over the
footlights. This action is taken to
avoid loss of time and those desiring
to give flowers, etc, to the graduates
will send them to the stage before the
entertainment begins.
THE PROGRAM
| Friday nights program is an elabor-
ate and lengthy one and promises to
| be especially interesting. 1t fol-
