Owing to the large number of pupils attend ing tbe Graded School this year, it will be impossible to provide seats for ali of them on the stage The following pian will there fore be followed : The exercises will begin promptly at 7 30. Last year the curtain arose two minutes late ; it is the purpose of the authorities to com mence this year promptly on time When the curtain arises all of the pupils of the school will be standing on the stage. Tbe whole school will participate in the opening and devotional exercises and bear the reading of the rolls of honor for the year. Wheo these exercises shall have been concluded consuming about fifteen minutes-the curtain will fail and tbe members of the first and second grades will march in front of stage and out of building* As they will get out by eight o'clock, there will be light enough for them to go home. Io the meantime the pupils remaining on the 3tage will have bad seats arranged for them preparatory to the rising of the curtain This plan is the only ooe by which the members of the primary grades can appear on the stage at all The Fourth Regiment Orchestra will furn ish music for the commen ement exercises and will piay tb3 accompaniments for the school choruses. It war elated above that after the First Part of tbe commeocemenf programme that pupils of the 1st and 2i grades would have to go home tecause^f the lack of room on the stage and in the auditorium This rule is still in/r e, with tbi3 exception: If a pupil's Ipr mother will go down into the pas3>r 9/u} of the Opera House to re ceive the pupil after he hts passed from the ranks and is willing to hold me pupil for the rest of the evening, this will he permitted, j But it must be rememberd ?hit no pupil of these two grades will be readmitted unless these two conditions ure compiled with. The 1 reasons for such conditions are evident : First, the lack of room ; second, it would not be advisable for these little folks to be scattered throughout the Opera House with out systematic oversight. Of course the parent who goes out for his child will be given a return check and no charge will be made for tbe pupil's admission. That Throbbing Headache.
