and shows the wide extent of the in
finite pains bestowed on them by their
devoted teachers-Miss Stevens, Miss

and their two assistants, Miss Pansy

1t will be impossible for us 90 men
ton the work of any particular child
among so many, but suffice it to say
that it was all such good work that
the parents of every child are delight

and so attractive is the work made

At the high school building, in two

was attractively displayed. There
were drawings, mathematics, scientific
drawings, physiology drawings, Eng
fish history, geography, Latin and
French papers, spelling lessons, maps,
botanical Illustrations, stories, etc.
In Miss Turkeys class, the sixth
grade, the drawings of Olivia Toffa-

Lois Dame, Alfred MacKay and Gladys
Martin have received especial praise,
although there are many other very
beautiful drawings.

Cecil Geiger and Robert Clarkson,
which have been framed, and make
very handsome pictures.

Mr.. Dodge, Mr.. Barnett. Mr.. Brinson.
Mr.. Duval and Mr.. Suhrie.
The teachers of the school and the
parents and special friends of the
graduates occupied the front seats
and every seat in the house was oc-

the church and in the aisles.
As the class took their seats there
was a murmur of appreciation. and
from the Grafton of Mr.. Lidden to the
class will, as read by Miss Moore, each

wished for by fond parents and ad-
