The hall was beautifully trimmed for the occasion (as usual by the Janiore), with wreaths and festoous of evergreens, hanging baskets oí flowers, and pi2tures. The closs motto over the Windows in the rear of platform, "Eren to the Heights," was beautifully executed, and we hope significant in prophesy' The platform was occupied by the teachers of the High School, "members of the School Board and other prominent citizens. The exercises were couducted in aocordunce with' the following PBOOBAMME. MUSIC - " Wandercr's Night Song." PBAYEB, by Iïev. S. Keed. ücsic- "Prayer Before Battle." 1.

We are uot disposed to criticise the individual ntions or essays, or to point out speoial beau'■-s- which were many, or glaring defects - 'hich were few. The essays of the youug lalits were well writteu and well read, perhaps we should say spoken of one or two ot them while the orations of the gentlemen combined ruiturity of thought with general good delivery showing careful study and training. Nither will we lay ourselves open toa charge of favorïtism by assuming to say who excelled. The tiosen representativos of the class did credit to tliemsolvcs, their class, their teachers, aud the school.
