THE TWELFTH ANNUAL COMMENCE MENT OF THE HIGH SCHOOL, Millett's Opera House Packed Last Night by Friends of the School—Interest ing Exercises—Delivery of Diplomas. When the hour for the commence ment excercises of the high school ar rived last evening Millett's Opera House was packed and jammed by hundreds of ladies and gentlemen gathered to witness with interest the efforts of the young lady graduates and the other members of the school. When the curtain was rung up giving a view of the stage, the sight presented to the eye was an exceed ingly beautiful one. Some 40 or 60 young ladies all dressed in white were seated in a semi-circle on the stage that closely resembled the typical good luck horse shoe, and leads the writer to advance the wish that the future of these young ladies just entering the threshhold of life may be ever attended with that suc cess that is said to always accompany the legendary horse shoe. Arranged in this most tasteful manner the au dience had a full view of the bright faces and immaculate dresses, and as each member enlisted on the program rendered their selection it was re ceived with marked atten tion and deserving approval that must have certainly fled the hearts of both the pupils and teachers with pride. Under the efficient man agement of Professor Winn the pub lic schools of Austin have attained that high merit which has caused them to be favorably spoken of all over the state, and the exercises of last even ing not only redounded to Professor Winn’s and the different instructora’ credit but to the pupils rare exhibit of talent as well. From the opening selection to the close the program was happily interspersed with song, revilation and essay. Dr. Smoot proounced the invociation and Alderman Graham of the school board delivered the cer tificates and diplomas.
