FIFTY PUPILS GRADUATE.

Eighth Grade Exercises Held at Assembly
Room Friday Evening.
Graduation exercises of the Eighth
grade of the Princeton public schools
were presented in the assembly room
of the high school building on Friday
evening. Many of the parents of the
children we're in attendance and there
was good representation of the
general publjc-the hall was fairly
crowded. The program of exercises,
prepared by Misses Margaret I. King
and Tennie Cravens, instructors in the
Eighth grade, was superbly arranged.
Essays, recitations and vocal and
instrumental numbers comprised the
program and all participants present.
ed their parts in very creditable
manner. Mrs. c. A. Galley sang a
solo and Mrs. 81. 81. Farnham and
son, Paul, played a piano duet. Rev.
j. W. Heard invoked the divine
blessing and at the close of the pro-
gram j. j. Skahen, in well-worded
address, presented the diplomas to the
fifty graduates. This is the largest
number of Eighth grade pupils that
ever graduated from the Princeton
public schools at one time
Misses King and Cravens have
brought their pupils to the front with
remarkable rapidity-they are pro6ci-
ent, painstaking instructors. To
bring fifty pupils up to the graduation
point requires an enormous amount of
work and untiring energy, but Misses
King and Cravens have succeeded in
accomplishing this task.
