Vevay Reveille – 2 Jun 1892 – Page 4, Column 1

Vevay High School Commencement
at Metropolitan Hall last Friday evening was in every respect a success. There being twenty graduates there was not sufficient time for all to deliver their declamations and essays, but judging from samples of representatives, the class of 1892 is fully up to the average High School class graduates.

The large stage was beautifully furnished, including lace curtains, having the appearance of a parlor.

Fronting the audience, in rear of rostrum, was the Spanish flag of 1492 and to the right the National colors, 1892.

Blooming flowers and shrubbery gave the stage a beautiful and cheering appearance.

An orchestra from Newport, Ky., furnished superior music.
