At the close of the exercises the de- cision of the committee to choose the class orator and valedictorian was giv- en out Israel Kleiner was appointed orator and E. Robert Stevenson vale dictorian. The award to these two stu dents was the result of decision by three of the English teachers. 2 Near the close of the exercises a Ger man band, which had been engaged by some of the fellows, began to play and when the programme was finished a general exodus was made to the street. Here the several classes gathered and marched to the new school, cheering and singing.
 | When Boardman was reached the air rang with cheers, each class trying to drown out the other. Recitations were suspended for the time being in Board- man and the scholars of both schools vied with each other in giving long cheers for their respective schools and l classes.
 At this point some of the juniors made for the fence that surrounds York 1 square, and the seniors, not to be out done, attempted to oust them from 1 their position, but after five minutes of l lively rough housing" the seniors were compelled to give up the task as a bad l job
 l After little more singing and cheer 1 ing the members of the band passed the hat and, having reaped a good har- vest, departed. Not long afterward the 1 oha toF ! last day at Hillhouse had been fittingly | closed.
