The Mitchell capital. (Mitchell, Dakota [S.D.]) 1879-1918, 1902-06-13
WENT A NOTCH HIGHER.
Grammar Class Graduated Ii o
High School Department to
Begin Four Year Course.

Begin Four Year Course.
The graduating exercises that were
held in the high school room Fri
day afternoon were something Of a
departure from the usual exercises
at the close of the school year.
Heretofore the scholars from the a.
lGrammar room were permitted to
enter the high school without any
particular display, but this year it
was decided to give the pupils a lit
tie distinction on their entrance to
the last four years Of their public
school life.
These exercises were held on the
last day of the school year and were
witnessed by a very large audience
composed Of patrons of the schools.
A lengthy but interesting program
was given. 1t was composed3o ora
tons, %recitations and musical num-
bers and the young folks acquitted
themselves in a very creditable man
ner.
Superintendent Quigley presented
each member. of the class with a d.
ploma as a mark Of distinction on
their entrance TO the high school,,
and they will doubtless prize the
parchment highly.
Friday was the last session of
the city schools and for the next
three months teachers and pupils
will enjoy a well earned vacation.
The year just closed has been quite
successful along all lines. Superin-
tendent Quigley and his very able
corps Of teachers have worked in the
finest kind of harmony for the up
building Of the schools of Mitchell.
and the fact that people are moving
into the city right along for the
purpose OF sending their children to
the schools is certainly. sufficient
evidence that good and satisfactory
work is being accomplished. Prof.
Quigley had been at the head Of the
schools in Mitchell for the past nine
years and his work throughout, has
been uniformly successful. He has
at all times given the best Of him
self to the advancement Of our,
schools and he has takenmuch pride
in maintaining the standard of
them.
