The High lame' Compencement.
Last night asenie Hall was thorough
ly crowded b kto the windows on Fifth
avenue, with an intelligent, audience,
gathered to Eaten to the commencement
ezercises'of the Pittsburgh High Soh*.
The stage as filled with white robed
.
young girls, black clad young then, the
teachers of the school and a large dele
.
gation of clergymen and other well
known gentlemen. An orchestra, led bY
Professor Toerge, opened the exercises
and was followed by prayer by Rev. No
ble,„ of the Third Presbyterian. Church,
alter which, Mr. Edward P. Wilkinson
delivered a pleasing oration on "Science
and Religion."l. which was followed by a
thoughtful y etyled "Ask oot for
Leisure,” iby'l Miss Emma King, suc
ceeded by, a bright essay on "Isms,"
both hurnoretts and grave in its
nature, by. Miss Isabel Seitz.
A on" d, U nk no wn, " Mr Amos L.
Asper,The followed
this, and was succeeded by pleasant es
mug on I "Strength and Culture". and
- "Here Worship" by Misses Matilda Du- -
val and I Sophie H. Royer. Then carne
an oration tha Pasitheismiiiiistittptiy. • Teti
iadnatedittill evincing much by
Mr. John C. 'Martin. Miss Emma Dyer
succeeded this with en essay on "Hidden
Power," delivered, clearly and with a
self-posseesion remarkable in one 4ppa
rently so young. "Drifting %and Steer
ing," by Miss Mary Walker, was'a sweet
and eminently poetical prodnetion. The
"Mission of Evil" was the title of the next
oration, delivered by John B. Herron,
Jr., after which Miss Margaret Williams
read an essay on Individuality. A rather
profound production followed this, char
, acterized by the particularly distinct
enunciation of the orator; Mr. Clark H.
Johnson, and then Mies Kate Keys read
her essay, the subject of which was "Dif
ferent, not Inferior." "The Present
Age" was the title of Mr. George Glass'
oration, and "The World's Questions"
that of the lively and pleasing essay of
Miss Elvira Reese. Mr. W. J. Hunter,
after delivering an oration on "The Age
of Chivalry," concluded with the Vale
dictory addreilies. The whole pro
gramme was interspersed with music
and each speaker was followed
to his or her seat with cheers andshowers
of bouquets. One gentleman estimated
that 130 bouquets containing probt.biy
18,000 flowers, were thrown at the feet of
these youthful graduates.
All the productions, without exception,
were good and evinced study and cul
ture, but we think that six of the young
speakers are deserving of especial men
tion. Miss Hoyer's "Hero Worship"
was a bright, sarcastic essay, delivered in
a remarkably clear and distinct manner.
Miss Margaret Williams, whose utter
ance was also clear and loud, was orig
inal, ironical, witty and a little. cynical,
and her stage presencewas easy and grace- -
fill. When she concluded she was greet
,ed with a prolonged storm of applause
and bouquets that would have enchanted
any actress or, prima donna that ever -
trod the boards. Miss Keyes descanted
on: oman's Rights in a good naturedly
spiteful style, presenting' an usual:tally
graceful, logical and intelligent defence
of her sex.
Of the gentlemen, Mr. Asper was
noticeable for his earnest manner d
utri
studied graceful style, with, perha , a
little too much motion and action. MI
Mr. Herr e, has a fine voice and his
oration wasrunusnally thoughtful, ore
E .
so perhaps than any of the others. e
valedictorian has a better voice then ny
of his fellow students, and although his
style was not so elegant as that of .
Asper, or his work so proibund as Ghat
of Mr. Herron, he combined the various
excellencies of an orator better than any
other ipeakert during the evening. 71e
Join him in congratulating the Faculty in
aving graduated so fine a bodY of yoang
students. The presentation of their well
earned diplomas to the graduating clam
concluded the prostranime of 'a pleasant
and significant entertainment. - I
