The graduating exercises of the
class of 1902, Smith Grammar school,
We're held in the Opera house, at .
o'clock yesterday afternoon. 1t is safe
to say that the audience was the
largest which has been in the house
since the same event was held there
one year ago. 1t seemed that every
one within radius of miles had turned
out to see the work done by the school.
Many business men dropped in on
their way back to their stores or of
fees and remained while time would
permit. Those who came to stay
through the entire exercises, which
were quite extended were delighted
and pleased.
The stage was prettily decorated and
the SO graduates made q very pleasing
appearance, when on the stage in a
body. Principal NJ. p. Dutton presided.
The exercises opened with a march
played by Mrs. G. f. Brckett, and
this was followed by singing by the
entire class Then came Rotations
and essays, the class prophecy by Carl
Gooch, and other musical selections.
The singing of the chorus, which was
trained by Miss Estelle Deering. was
of high order of excellence. The fol-
lowing is the program as rendered:

The class was one of the largest and |
finest in the history of the school. 1t |
was composed of So boys and girls, all |
of whom did credit on this occasion, |
as they have during the entire year to |
themselves and the teachers under |
whom they have worked. The Vii
lage District is justly proud of its
schools and their great excellence is |
largely due to the faithful efforts of |
Principal Dutton and his able corps |
of teachers. Too much credit cannot |
be given them.
An exhibition of the drawing and |
sewing departments was given in DR..
A. H. Sturtevant's office The entire
surface of the Office walls was covered |
with specimens of the work done in
this branch of instruction They
showed high order of work done in
this department under the direction
of Miss Isabel Sewall. The same was
true of the sewing department. which
has been in charge of Miss Ella +.
Barton.
The names of the graduates are as
