vee | orem nner tenet et At the Opera House.—An Excel- jent and Entertaining Pro- gram. Fifteea Graduates Receive Their D1- plomas. The et z exercises of the But ler High Schools was held at the opera house on Monday evening. | The size of the audience was limited | to the capacity of the building. The | stage was artistically and beautfully decorated with flowers, plants and bunting. At eight oclock the cur- went up the graduating class, thirteen young ladies and two young gentlemen, seated in a semi circle upon the stage. If one had been commissioned to choose that member of the prettiest young ladies of the different types of beauty, his efforts could not haye excelled these thirteen sweet girl graduates. Then when they came forward, with that modest and self-possessed air, which only the consciousness of having something of merit to offer and the ability to render it creditably can give, the audience was convinced of the excellent training, and superior advantages for both mind and body they had enjoyed. The subjects of the yarious essays tain on were well chosen and the prepara-|. tion of each showed a depth of thought of much credit to the authors. The two young gentlemen delivered their orations in a very creditable manner, the preparation of which showed much thought and research, 60M MENCEMENT EXEKCISES. | The Times would be glad to speak separately of each graduate, but as we could hardly do them justice we content ourself with saying truth- fully that we are proud of the grad- uating class of 1895, and know that every citizen of Butler, who was fortunate in hearing the exercises, feeis the same way. An excellent and very entertaining programme was carried out, among the features worthy of special note being the singing of the male quar tette, and the rare treat of hearing Mrs. Frank Nagle, one of the sweet- est singers and finest musicians who ever visited our city. Pretty little Stella Dorance acted as flower girl for the occasion. At the conclusion of the pro- gramme Pros. Starr made some very appropriate remarks, and the large audience was dismissed, better sat- isfied with our public schools than ever before. The following is the programme in full: PROGRAMME.
