three members, the largest ever gradu-
ated from ll,e schools OF that city. The
exercises were very instructive and I'M
usually interesting. Each selection was
delivered In a most pleasing manner
and clearly demonstrated tina much
time had been spent IN their prepara-
ton. and in summing up the evenings
performance, 1t was beyond doubt one
OF the most successful commandments
ever held in the neighboring town. The
elaborate decorations of the theatre also
added much to the perfeetness Of the
occasion. The stage was profusely
adorned with the class colors, cream
and blue, together with the colors OF the
high school, white and purple. AT
either side of the proscenlum opening

arranged and with the class seated in h
semi-circle on the stage formed COM
