The third annual commencement OF
the Wheeling High school took place
at the Grand Opera House last even
ing, and but for the wise provision
which limited the number of admission
tickets, the theatre would have been
uncomfortably crowded. 1t was sue
cessful in every sense of the word.
Owing to the size of the class only a
limited number of graduates partlcl-
pated in the exercises, but all were re-
CURED to prepare papers. Following
is a list of the graduates n their es-

Opening Exercises.
The Opera House orchestra rendered
a tuneful march and the young ladies
and gentlemen filed out upon the stage
from the rear, taking seats assigned to
them. The stage picture was very
pretty, the white gowns Of the ladies
contrasting strongly with the black
worn 10y the gentlemen, the banks Of
palms on either side forming a very
pretty frame, and the bright faces of
the young graduates giving animation
to the scene. The theatre management
had very thoughtfully provided cleo
trio fans, which were constantly NOV
ing owe the heads OF those upon the
stage.
The invocation was made by the
Rev. J. II. Littell, pastor of the United
Presbyterian Church. When he con
GUIDED the orchestra rendered another
selection, and the Salutatorian of the
class, Miss Emma Schrader, who was
of equal honor with the valedictorian,
advanced to the footlights. She spoke
of the significance of the commence
ment to the graduates, and to their
parents and friends. 1t was the last
assemblage of classmates, and it mark
ed at once the close of school life and
the beginning OF a broader and more
important epoch in the careers of the
graduates. On behalf of the class and
in well chosen words, she bespoke a
hearty welcome to the friends who
honored the class by their presence.
Mon Sibi Sed Allis" was the theme
of an excellent paper by Miss Olive
Mix, in which she dwelt upon the value
of human industry and OF the cumula-
tive wisdom which enables each age to
profit by the best thought and inven-
tion OF all preceding ages. She de-
fined true heroism and was most happy
in her choice of historical exemplars.
In her closing sentences she suggested
as a MOTTO for the class Not for our
selves, but for Others"
The next number was the chorus,
ooh Italia, Italia, Beloved" arranged
from Lucretia Borgia, and sung by the
entire class under the direction of the
efficient Superintendent of Music, Miss
Lucy Robinson, with piano and violin
accompaniment. This, as well as all
other musical numbers upon the pro-
gramme, was rendered in a manner
which speaks volumes for the profile
iency attained in this department of
public school instruction.
Miss Martha Ross recited "Gual-
berto'S Victory in a manner which
