THE COMMENCEMENT.
Large Class OF Bright SUDDEN Is.
Excellent Program
by Class.

The Thirteenth annual commence
ment Of the Grants Pass high school was
held at the Opera house on Wednesday
evening The class Of 1901 is one Of the
very largest that has ever graduated from
this school ard in ability, brightness
and intellectual attainment is worthy to
be classed among the foremost. The
class numbers %, all bright and brainy
Young people. With commendable
ambition, the entire program, ex.
elusive Of orchestra music, invocation
and presentation Of diplomas, was given
by members OF the class, and the able
manner in which the participants ac-
quilted themselves IN the various essays,
recitations and musical numbers made
the program one OF pleasurabe qnility
not surpassed at previous occasions OF
like character.
Once more the opera house hall failed
in spacious quality and proved far to
small to accommodate the throng who
"a thered to witness the exercises. The
more desirable seats were all secured
several days previous 10 the commence.
ment and those who had not secured
reserved seats esteemed themselves
fortunate If they were not Obliged to
stand.
The stage was decorated with 1J wers
in beautiful proiusion and the beauty,
elegance and tasteful arrangement Of
these floral decorations gave pleasant
added charm to the exercises. -.
