SACRED HEART SENDS OUT CLASS
 OF 39 PUPILS
Not Even Standing Room is Ob. tainable at Graduating Exer- ciSes as Many Prizes Are
 Presented

Not even standing room was obtain | able yesterday afternoon at the Sacred Heart parochial school at the opening | of the annual commencement exer- | cises. Flags, flowers and red and 1 white bunting constituted the decora- tions, while the class motto, 'Knowl- edge and Virtue United,'' adorned the wall and the word Welcome" was artisticalIy delineat ted in color above the stage.
 The entire program was very cap ably rendered and the literary and dramatic efforts of the participants evoked sincere admiration and ap- plause from the large audience. Thirty-nine graduates of the eighth grade received diplomas entitling them to entrance to the High school in the fall, a number greatly in excess of those of several larger schools of the public system.
 Diplomas for perfection in the Palm CT method of writing were received by twentytwo pupils of the school, and the specimens of their work bore adequate testimony to their prof1cien- cy. Gold medals and other prizes were also presented to various stu dents by Rev. T. R. Sweeney, pastor of the Sacred Heart church.
