The class day exercises were largely
attended on Monday afternoon and
were very interesting. The shower
made it necessary to finish the exer-
cises in the school hall. The gradua-
ton exercises were held in the school
hall Tuesday evening and were we'll
attended. The annual graduation ball
followed the exercises. The trustees
expect that next fall will see the
largest number of pupils in the high
school in its history. Those who had
their doubts about the advisability of
building so large school building will
be interested to learn that it will be
necessary to secure some additional
room to accommodate all of the pupils
who desire to attend. At present the
best solution of the problem seems to
be the erection of a new high school
building fully equipped and large
enough to accommodate all who desire
to secure higher education than the
grades.
