and "The Whippoorwill" as sung by the
class were very pleasing numbers. Miss
Jennie p Ranney, superintendent, in a
few we'll chosen words to the class pre-

given here since the class of '04 held their
commencement exercises last year, which
was the first class to formally graduate
from the school and the first to hold ex-
ercises commemorative of the event.
That they are popular entertainments
and that the parents and public in gen.
eral enjoy and appreciate them was prov
en- by the audience that filled the church
to OVERLOOKING long after the aisles were
filled with seats and people were stand
ing in the back of the church and on the
stairs. To Miss Alice Strathern, teacher
of the grammar school, much credit
should be given for the success of the en-
tertainment and tor her faithful work in
preparing them for commencement.
