Commencement Week Ends With Ex- ereises of Dignity and Interest.
 The more playful spirit of the class day exercises of the Boardman and Hillhouse high schools was changed to the sadness of parting in the joint graduation exercises of the two schools. which were held last evening in the auditorium of the school. The meaning of the occasion. the beauty of the dec orations, the auditorium and the large size of the classes of 1904 gave the occa- sion memorable dignity.
 The programme was interspersed with piano selections by Frederick J. Kinsley, well rendered and received by the audience with great apprecia- tion.
 In his salutatory address on Public School Life Herbert L. Nichols, of Boardman, considered with care and insight the significance of certain phases of school life and the position of different factors in it.
 Mabel G. Clark, also of Boardman. spoke of several different kinds of Memorials" and our deep feeling to- ward them
 Ayoung man going into the ceaseless struggles for very existence, which is found in life, into which not asfew of the classes of 1904 are entering, needs a strong equipment of energy and fore sight. Bernhard E. Hoffman, of Hill- house. told appreciatively of some parts of "A Young Mans Equipment"
 The valedictory address was deliver ed by William R. Leete, of Hillhouse. He recounted the heroic life of John Hamden, one of the valiant heroes of the struggle against Cromwell.
 Mayor John P. Studley presented the diplomas to the classes. He congratu lated the classes on the completion of their work in his usual pleasing man ner. The two great classes, all of the girls in dainty white, passed upon the platform in groups and received their diplomas. The class song, Bright and Happy Are the Years" was sung by the class at closing. They were led by a quartette consisting of Miss Susan Farren, Rose McKeon, Daniel Gladding and Harold Holbrook. The music was led by Professor Benjamin Jepson. Af- ter the programme the classes gave NitCClo olio oet1ie O lCU oOAA6Ss
