and skill in delivery of the two parti-

solo, which was received in burst
Of applause by the audience.
An Grafton, "The Responsibilities of

by the class.
Supervising Principal Warren Drum
then presented the class of 1920 and
in well worded, brief address point
ed out the object and aim of the High
School in developing leaders, and said
he felt that the faculty of the High
School could be proud of the work it
had done in that respect with the
class of 1920.
Mr.. Joseph Whelan, president of the
Board of Education, awarded the di-
plomas with the customary remark
that this years class was the best
ever.
The graduates then sang the class

The stage was prettily decorated,
and the beautiful white gowns of the
fair young ladies and the sombre blue
of the boys made a fitting picture.
Mr.. Drum, the supervising principal,
then thanked Mrs. Mccullough, who
coached the singing Mrs Hausmann,
whose French class presented the
play; Miss Lohn for the chemistry ex-
pertinent Mr. Preston for his work
in training the speakers, and Miss

500 Create Reian of Terror.

Londonderry. The outside world
has little idea Of the reign Of terror
Londonderry has been experiencing
without respite for a week. The
casualty figures from day to day are
alarming enough, but they picture only
the shadow of the grim reality The
truth is, none Of the 10000 inhabitants
has been safe since the rioting began.
The city Is virtually controlled by
extremists of the Unionists and Ma
tionalists, who probably number under
500. They fire volleys down the streets
without warning and apparently with
ort,. reason, and the citizens are thus
put In state of continuous panic,
sallying forth only when the procure
ment of food becomes absolutely neces-
sary. Many shopkeepers have sus-
pended business and have taken refuge
on the top floors of their business
premises for safety.
Men who are compelled to be In
their offices sleep there rather than
risk stepping into the streets. The
post Office force has been reduced to a
mere handful and the postmaster Is
being petitioned- by many Of the Yo-,f-,
ers for relief from duty until the IrelR
BILE subsidies.
The military SO far has confined its
efforts to keeping the two sides apart,
but without great success. Everybody
arriving In the city Is challenged for
credentials and is searched for arms
and ammunition. The real test for
visitor, however, comes when he Is
held up by either the Sim Feiners or
the Unionists. With hands in the air,
staring into the muzzle of revolver,
he is thoroughly searched. Some have
