The closing exercises of the school
yeaS of the local high school began last

given for the graduating class by the
Juniors. A new plan was adopted by
the Juniors this year and instead of
providing a formal affair the guests
were taken to the Freiberg cottage
near Ironton on the steamer Hum.
There an informal banquet was served
and the occasion was much enjoyed by
all present. The place selected for the
party could not have been more suit
able and the two large fireplaces and
the wide porches were very popular
during the evening. About forty guests
were present. The return trip was
made shortly before midnight.

Senior and Junior classes and the facul-
