The Rev. I. Jolly wrote to -the High School Board of Governors last night regretting the severance of his connection with the Board, on which ho had/the honor of being one of the first members. He had held the position ever since and his connection with the Board had given him unalloyed pleasure. He had felt it to be an honor to be a member of the Board —, both for the position itself and on account of the character of the members who composed it. Ho thanked members of the Board for many courtesies and kindnesses received from them, and trusted that the High School in which we were all so interested would continue on its career of prosperity.
