The formal graduating exercises of th

were held in the First Baptist church
last evening , under the happiest auspi
ces. There was present the usual over
flowing audience and manifest the usua
deep interest and conspicuous pride o
our citizens. It was an appealing , tint
mated , inspiring scene.
The doors were opened at eight an <
in a trice the church was filled , am
there remained enougli on the outside
for a good-sized overflow meeting
Promptly at eight thirty the anmia
graduating exercit.es began with a piano
solo by Miss Elsie Burgess , which was
followed by the invocation from the lips
of Rev. W.J. Turner , and the exercises
of 1900 were duty launched.
The class history from the pen o

duction , full of bright things and laugh
able peisonalities.
The piano duo by Mesdames Mills
and Stranahan was excellently done.
Dr. H. A. Rowland's class address was.
a superb effort and held the closest at
tention of the large audience through

to the title , "Success Through Difficul
ties. " The doctor puts a pronounced
personality into his addresses and that
of last night was magnificently suggest
ive and instructive.

ways pleasing and this one was particu
larly so.

The decorative effects were very pret
ty ; the class colors , white and purple , in

curtain hangings and effective furniture ,
made an attractive general appearance.

THE ANNUAL SERMON.
St. Patrick's church was altogether
inadequate to the demands for admission ,
last Sunday evening , on the occasion of
the delivery of the annual sermon to the
members of the class of 1900 , and many
were necessarily unable to gain admis
sion to that event , whose charm is only
second to that of the graduating exer
cises themselves.
Promptly at the appointed hour the
members of the class marched in and
the following programme was rendered
in a most satisfactory and pleasing
manner indeed it was one of the most
notable services of the kind in the an
nals of the city schools :
Opening prayer Rev. J. W. Ilickey
Hymn Choir
Solo sacred Miss Maynie Sharkey
Annual sermon Rev. J. W. Ilickey
Hymn Choir
Solo sacred Mrs. P. F. McKenna
Hymn Choir
Closing prayer Rev. J. W. Ilickey
Ode "America" Congregation
The annual sermon by Rev. J. W.
Hickey was a very eloquent effort , brim
ming over with wise suggestions and
helpful advice. It was delivered with
deep earnestness and was well received
by class and congregation. It was an
able and apropos sermon.
The musical feature of the evening
was strong and pleasing , the sacred solo
efforts of Mrs. P. F. McKenna and Miss
Mayrne Sharkey being particularly ar
tistic.
Palms , potted plants and cut flowers
were tastefully disposed and the scene
was one altogether brilliant and inspir
ing.
