COMMENCEMENT—TUESDAY NIGHT
Tlie Sewickley high school commencement exercises will bo held in
tho auditorium next Tuesday evening, beginning at eight o'clock. Dr.
0. Wallace Petty, pastor of the Pirst Baptist Church of Pittsburgh, is
to givo the principal address, taking for Ms subject "Tho Pino Art of
Thinking." The diplomas will be presented, of course, by Bayard H.
Christy, president of the school board; and tho honor pupils above
mentioned will give their nddresscs.
Supervising principal L. II. Conway stated early in the week that
the class, about sixty in number, evenly divided between boys and
girls, is probably the largest ever graduated from Sewickley high school.
It is of special interest also as the first elass which throughout its course
has worked under the present system of "weighted" credits, which
provides higher ranking for those who really do well in any courso
than for those who merely pass; aud the result is better work and, in all
probability, a larger proportion of honor students than under the old
system.
Admission to the commencement exercises is by invitation until
eight o'clock, after whieh time nil who desiro may enter the auditorium,
Tho baccalaureate service will take place next Sunday evening at
7:45 iu St. Stephen's Church.
