5 YESTERDAY. The commencement exercises at school No. 5 yesterday afternoon were of a very interesting nature. The program although not very long was prepared with a great deal of care.

The stage upon which Prof. J. W. Badger, CoL A. E.

Baxter, Commissioner Battersby and the graduating class were seated, was adorned with a profusion of cut flowers and potted plants.

While he has held the class of '91 to graduate in every subject prescribed by the board, they have surprised many by attaining a class average in eleven different subjects of ninety per cent Prof. Badger is a successful teacher and is particularly fortunate in hav ing the services of Miss Lizzie J.

5 The Programs. The annual commencement exercises of school No.2 were held in the spacious study room of the building yesterday afternoon. Long before the time set for the beginning of the varied program the halL despite the inclement weather, was filled, many being forced to remain standing. Flowers adorned the walls and a profusion of various plants greeted the eye of the visitors facing the rostrum. Conspicuous among these flowers was the beautiful buttercup, the favorite of the graduating class.

The rostrum was covered with rugs. As the visitor glanced around the study hall he could not fail to observe the appropriate "drawings" which graced the four blackboards. These consisted of very good likenesses of various flowers, among them the buttercup, in a cir cle of which, on one of the boards appeared the class motto, "Upright and Loyal," the work of Master Bennie Nafe. With com mendable punctuality, promptly at 2 o'clock the door of one of the class rooms opening to the study hall in the rear of tho room, swung open, a march sounded from the piano, and the exercises commenced. Slowly and with measured tread the graduating class marched up the middle aisle, led by their teacher, Prof.

"Win. H. Benedict, principal of the school, and as cending the steps, took their seats. Prof. Benedict took his seat between the Rev.

Isaac Jennings, pas tor of the First Presby terian church, and Jenks, of the board of education. After the Rev. Mr. Jennings had invoked the -Divine blessing, Misses Mabel Booth and Mabel E. Blampied played surprisingly well a piano duett, Galop Mili- taire by Labitzk.

Following this came "a well written essay entitled "Glimpses of the Past," by Miss Louise M. Lawrence. By several well-pictured glimpses the audience was allowed to look into school life, go; ingfrom the anxious anticipation of the new beginner, to the fearful sense of responsibility that lies partly revealed to the gaze of the graduate. The essay was well read and well received. Miss Belle Causer in a clear, distinct voice and touching pathos recited "The Midnight Journey." The recitation elicited much applause.

Frederick R. Orcutt and Claude Bowles played a violin duet. Nocturne" by Dancla, to the great delight of alL Guy Kinner played the accompaniment on the piano. No. 6 on the program was a declamation by J.

Henry Palmer, entitled The Littleness of Eminent Men," The speaker's splendid enunciation and the fine manner in which he handled the subject, called forth rounds of applause. He spoke of the superior littleness of Napoleon Bonaparte, how the light of his candle flamed flashingly forth at Austerlitz, palod at burning Moscow, flickered at Waterloo, and went out at St Helena. Harriet F. Gorman did very nicely in giving a recitation on 44 The Death of Major Andre." She certainly has a decided talent for elocution. Following Miss Gorman's recitation a trio consisting of Misses Belle H.

GamewelL Lizzie M. Winder and Alecia Murphy sang "Sweet May." Much applause greeted their effort The class of '91 then recited with telling effect Henry W. Longfellow's poem, 44 Nothing is Too Late." Henry W. Longfellow is the favorite poet of the class and the exercise immediately following was from his works. It was entitled Lives of Great Men," and was the result of the indefatigable labor of the painstaking principal of the school.

It consisted of selections taken from the class poet's different works and fitted together so as to make a very intcr-inzand instructive narrative. Each mem-ber of the graduating class had some part to take in the exercise. The boy's chorus of the school sang 44 The Dawn of Day," the school music teacher, Miss A. J. Durbon, playing the piano accompaniment The next was a declamation by Roscius Morse entitled 44 The March of Attijia," A proper declamation of this called for a strong, steady voice, soft and impetuous by turn, and these requirements were found in the admirable rendition by Mr.

Morse. Then came the most enjoyable part of the program, especially for the graduates and their friends. Miss Cornelia Dockstadcr read a paper on "A Summer Ramble, or What's in a Name." The name of every member of the class was woven into the intricate web, which read along like a story but here and there brought forth with distinctness some familiar name. The audience was convulsed with laughter and loudly applauded. The diplomas were conferred on the graduates by the principal, after which they sang the class song, "Our Progress, Past and Future." This admirable poem and the music to accompany it were composed by Miss Daisy C.

Uinkle, one of the graduates. During the exercises Roscius Morse, on behalf of the, class, made a very neat presentation speech and at the close formally presented the school a handsomely framed picture of the class poet, which hung in a conspicuous position over the rostrum, draped in the folds of the national flag. Prof. Benedict on the part of the school made the reply accepting the gift The class colors this year were blue and yellow and the class paper the "School Tidings." The following students received their diplomas this year: W. Fay Babcock, Alice W.
