OF the eleven honors of the gradua ting
class 1t will be noticed that nine were
won by the girls and only two by the
boys. Though the girls outnumber the
boys of the class two to one, it is a real
superiority in scholarship, due possibly to
more earnest and better sustained eff
forts that must be called upon to ac-
count for the great disparity in the num-
Der of honors won.

The fact that every member of the
class who has kept up the fight to the
end and stood the final examinations of
the last year of the course has been sue
cessful and Will be gradua ted, speaks well
for its ability and industry II is true
that in the case of some OF the members
OF the class the minimum marks were
barely attained, but no one of them fell
below the prescribed standard. while the
marks of the class leaders were >unus-
ually high, some OF those who failed to
receive honors being not more than a
fraction OF a point lower In the scale of
excellence than those who were more
fortunate. The result is most satisfac-
tory and gratifying to the principal of the
High School. Mr.. II. f. Train. aud his
corps of instructors.
