GRADUATION EXERCISES.

One of the most pleasing events OF the
season was the graduation OF the A classes
of three grammar schools at Masonic hall
Friday evening. The hail was crowded
with interested friends. The class motto,
perseverance Brings Success" shone
brightly above the stage, and the class
colors, garnet and silver gray, addedto the
attraction. The graduates, seventeen
girls and thirteen boys, made pretty pic
ture in the grand march, and when seated
on the platform ready for the evening pro-
gramme.
The essays and declarations were all
very good and gave evidence Of original
thought and painstaking preparation
The class ode reflected much credit upon
the composer, Miss Marguerite Gilley, and
on Jesse Mills, who arranged the music.
Kelley's orchestra OF three young ladies
gave great satisfaction. A fine address by
