TABLE 27 .- GRAMMAR SCHOOL GRADUATES.
The lack of a hall large enough to accommodate all the grammar school graduates and their friends compelled us to de- vote two evenings to the graduation exercises. Accordingly, Tuesday evening, June 27, and Wednesday evening, June 28, were set apart for the purpose.
