Rev. |. ". MuIhane

The thirty.seventh annual com
mencement of st. Vincent de Paul's
Catholic High school was held on
Monday evening at the school building
on East Chestnut street. This was
the first commencement to be held in
the new auditorium which is in the
new addition of the school and it was
with evident pride that the members
of the graduating class took their
places on the new platform with the
knowledge that they were the first
graduating class to receive the high
est honors that can be given by their
school, in the new auditorium which
will probably be used by many grad
uating classes in the years to come.
Great preparations had been made
for this occasion as the auditorium
was beautifully decorated wi t h
streamers and class colors of purple
and gold, class pennants, palms, ferns
and carnations. Members of the jun
ior class acted as ushers and each
and every person who entered the
auditorium was escorted to a seat un
til the large room was completely fill
ed by happy fathers, mothers, relativ-
senior class.
The program for the evening was
exceedingly brilliant and interesting
and showed for itself that the great
est of care had been taken and much
hard work had been put forth in its
preparation on the part of the stud
dents, teachers and parents of the
students. The musical numbers OF
the program were extraordinarily
good, the songs and choruses were
very well rendered but best of all was
the manner in which the various es
i says We're delivered by each member
of the graduating class. The most ap
propriate and advanced subjects pos
sible We're chosen with evident fore
thought and not hitch or hesitation
on the part of the student marreC

The music during the evening was
furnished by the school orchestra
which showed careful training, ant
much practice probably for this reas
on that this event had been LOOKED
forward to for long time and tn,
members of the orchestra had mad,
themselves as near perfect in thei
work as possible.
