EXERCISES

take pride in the commencement
day ceremonies. The entire exer-
cises by the graduates were COM
pliment of high order to the
school system of today, to the pu-
pills themselves; to the superin-
tendent as a tutor, and a credit to
the city of Sistersville. We regret
that our limited space forbids a
special review of all those who
participated in the commencement
exercises, but suffice it to say that
each individual acquitted himself
with high honors, and delighted
the auditors who had assembled
to wish the class of 1904 God
speed.
The orchestra circle and stage
were handsomely decorated with
cut flowers and potted plants, and
the class cOlors-green and white
and probably not in the his
tory of these interesting annual
exercises has there been more pro-
fuse decoration. Each lady. grad
uate carried a beautiful bouquet
of roses and carnations.
J. d. Garrison, principal Of the
school, in Il few well-chosen and
appropriate remarks, presented
the graduating class with their
diplomas.
Prof. Waitman Barbe, Of the
Morgantown university, delivered
a very able and interesting ad-
dress to the class.
Every feature of the exercises
considered, the occasion was a
most happy one, and will long be
remembered by those who par
ticipated in the ceremonies, as
well as by the spectators, with
the proudest of recollections.

Sistersville citizens generally took
great interest during the en-
tire week in the various COM
mencement exercises. The super

had done faithful work. The men,

The exercise were particularly
