, education for 5000 to defray the ex-
penses of a two days graduation this
spring, and that the date of the ex-
ercises would be the last week OF

was decided at meeting of that
class held Immediately after the close

The step has been premeditated. Last
year the graduating class held two
day exercises, but one of these was
set aside for the presentation of the
princess" by that class, which Writ
ually made the actual exercises but
one day The present plan of the
class will mean the establishing OF
an entirely new precedent in the
graduation exercises of the local high
school, 1t is to divide the gradua-
ton into Graduation Day" and a
"Class Day" At the former the
members of the class will take nc
, part whatever in the exercises, but
the program will consist entirely OF
speaking by selected men and music
At the latter the class orations will
be delivered and the exercises will
i be entirely fulfilled by the students
themselves. Should the board not
ercise will be rendered.
