Final Preparations Beine   Made
for Promotion and Graduation
Exercises.
Never before has more interest been
manifested in our city schools, and because of this interest, it is safe to say
that our schools were never in better
condition. Each year is an improvement over the preceding, and the showing of the commencement week now
atshand will without doubt prove the
truth of this assertion. On Tuesday
evening, June 19, occurs the eighth
grade commencement exercises at the
opera house, and below we give the
program and names of the members:
