Promptly at s O'Clock Miester's orches-
ira opened the programme with 1.-THE
Bridal Rose overture" at which time
the class, composed of Augusta Green,
Laura Russell, Nellie Lyle, George
Koehnline, Maggie Howell, Mary
Goode, Roy Fogle, Harry Wise, Bess
Rhea, Anna Cof1land, Ella Douglass and
VIII 5. Ashbaugh, took their places on
the stage. The young ladies were at
tired in white and cream coored cos
tunes, relieved by corsage bouquets of
roses.
Rev. Swaney opened with a prayer,
after which VIII 5. Ashbaugh delivered
an Grafton in a clear aud distinct voice,
subject, Towards Sunset" His idea
Of the theme was, "that as Aurora puts
forth her last rays of the sinking sun in
the western sky, il is then that one feels
as though all labors for one day have
been cast aside until we greet the rising
sun in the east in the morning-tide. In
the evening when all is quiet tits then
we desire TO talk with friend or recall
to mind the memories of the past. The
essay was loudly appauded.
"a Letter to my Great GrandmOth
er, was the subject which Anna B.
scribed how the mode OF dress had
changed during the last century, and
how the boys as well as the girls take
pride in counting an amorouS looking
glass. The schools have all changed
since then. At this date we have all the
modern conyeniences, while they were
compelled TO accuStom themselves 10
any kind of rude school houses. The
paper was well written and heartily en-
joyed.
Ella M. Douglas was the next num-
Der, her topic being Industry" She
commenced by using the old proverb,
where there's will there's way"
From this she carefully told how the
pyramids of Egypt, the great wall of
China, and the other improvements in
this country were accomplished; it all
came by hard labor. She closed by adj
vising all to stick to the old adage, "By
overcoming one difficulty gives US bet
ter strength to overcome another. "
After an overture by the orchestra,
Roy Fogle delivered one Of the
brightest orations of the evening on
Man" He told how opinions differed
in regard to man; some believed the
Darwinian theory, while others relied
on the Scriptures, in which is found,
SIN the image OF God created He him"
This, he said, is the theory he had fol-
lowed. He finely classified the differ
ent races.
Augusta D. Green delivered an in
structive Grafton on Mountains. She
classified the mountains as to their
sizes, and told when the countries were
most benefited by mountains.
WANTED" was the subject OF Mary (.
Goodies essay. 1t was well written and
the thoughts were clear. Her idea Of a
person that has no desire for anything
is one with no ambition. success Is
wanted to be able to get along in the
world as well as punctuallty; 1t was the
most essential Of ALL"
Then came an essay on "The Sun
flower" by Maggie Z. Howell. She
has an excellent voice which was used
TO good advantage in enabling every
person to hear. Her description OF the
sunfower was carefully mapped out.
She told the different uses to which
each part could be put, and by follow
ing these examples we will be as thrifty
and radiant as the flower itself.
George w. Koehnline then delivered
an Grafton on Roads" His paper was
one OF the most practical ones OF the
evening.
Nellie A. Lyle fairly charmed her
hearers by the calm and modest manner
in which she read an excellent paper on
Honey" 1t was interspersed with wit
which provoked much merriment.
The orchestra played selection, after
which Bess IL. Rhea told of the hard
ships of the Bridgeport Pioneers.
Her paper was well written and was
received with hearty applause.
Laura r. Russell read an essay on
'I9l2." Her ideas were happily found
ed on a dream which she had during
the past winter.
Harry Z. Wise closed the exercises
by an Grafton on "Preparation," in
which he said "the progress of nation
largely depends on the opportunities
it has given the people. If we are
thoroughly prepared, no matter what
our business career may be, we are
fully qualified to fill the position"
Superintendent Duncan then pre-
sented the class with diplomas, after
