Commencement exercises of the Brat
tleboro high school, which will mean this
year the graduation of the largest class
in the history of the school, will begin
Friday night of this week with the junior
prom and viii close Wednesday night,
June %, with the annual alumni reunion.
Contrary to the usual custom, class day
exercises viii be held Saturday, but the
graduation exercises viii be held as usual
Tuesday night in the Auditorium.
Because of the unusually large class
which numbers between 60 and 20.
it has been perplexing problem to ar
range the matter of invitations equitably
among the graduates, and the number
allowed to each is the smallest ever issuet
only seven being issued to each member
of the senior class. In order to make
even this allotment possible it has been
necessary for Principal j. E. Warren 10
cut down materially the general list of
Invitations which have been sent out
heretofore, step which could not be
avoided, because of lack of seating accom-
modations.
Another unavoidable change in the ar
rangement of the program of commence
ment exercises was the changing of class
day to Saturday. This is because of the
fact that several members of the, class
who have parts on the program neces-
sarily will be out of town taking college
entrance examinations Monday and Tues
day.
The Junior prom. the first of the series
of festivities for the senior class. will
