The Commencement Exercists of the
Milton High School, were held on last a
saturday evening The program has t
llready been published in this paper.
rhe exercises were highly conlmenda-
DRY to all engaged in them. The music
was grand. The graduating class con-
sisted of but two members-Mis; Annie
salutatorian. and Miss Mamie
Conner, valedictorian. The twp Misses
acquitted themselves nobly; and were the
recipients of many fine bouquets aud
presents, both from friends at
home and from other towns. Speakers,
who were expected from distarce. were
unable to be present, and hence tlere was
a dearth of expected oratory. The exer-
cises of Friday evening will mark an ep-
ISOLDE in the lives of the two young
Misses of this graduated class; % which

with pleasure. Whatever may be their
future. wherever their lots in lif'. may be
cast, the event of the evening Of June 9th /
1902, will be reverted to will happy
memory and pleasing "Reminiscences.
