The announcement last week that 1856

year puts the graduation class of 1902
Of that institution at the head Of the
list of classes in point of numbers. The
class is nearly 80 per cent larger than
any other class that has e.er been
graduated from a local public high
school. It has been noticed during the
past four or five years that the practical
business training offered at the CONNER

in favor with the public. Long ago the
present school building became far too

the pedagngues upon them in houndless

down the corridor in a terrible rage for
nearly tho whole recitation period
The class was scheduled 10 have its
recitation during what is known as the
fourth hour the period Immediately

knew that the professor had a habit OF
talking TO teachers in the corridors or
otherwise killing time for several min

Every student at the Western is look
TO the time when Mr. Chan" Smith
famous in high school circles as the
leader of the "Blzooters.' will make his
debut as an opera singer" Hereto
fore Mr. Smiths vocal exertions have
been confined TO the tunelass shouting
Of school yells and class songs. and his
departure upon the wave of popular fa
yor as a singer will constitute an event
Of no little Importance at the Western.
1t Is understood that Smith has been en-
gagged TO sing In some concert or musi

learn where the thing is 10 be. All the
directors OF the entertainment would
have to do to draw an enormous house

learn what sort Of voice the great gen
