stage. With them sat their teacher,
Mrs. M. Willard. The other high school
teachers, members OF the board of edu-
cation, and few gentlemen formed the
background. After the orchestra had
rendered several selections, the chair
man, Will A. Harris, introduced Miss
Nora Sullivan to deliver the ad.
dress OF welcome, which was well
received, and clearly reflected the
true spirit of the class. Miss
Grace Wiltshire fairly captured the au-
dience with her witty essay as class his
torian. The class prophecy, by Miss
Nellie Pruitt, was equally pleasing:
Miss Leah Crolie read the class poem OF
rare beauty. Miss Msbe Davis, the
valedictorian, selected Geometry OF Lie
az her subject, and handled 1t in q
splendid manner. Will A. Harris, the
orator of the evening, delivered very
fitting address which was we'll received.

especial notice, and was furnished by
the Redlands orchestra.

bers of the graduating class, Misses
