The principal event Of the past week
was the commencement exercises at
the opera house Friday night. No
event 10 all Stayton's brilliant past has
outranked in beauty of enyiroment
and delightful experiences the exer-
cises rendered the public on Friday eve
ming by the students of the graduating
class of the high school. The opera
house and stage was transformed into
a palace of floral beauty by the artistic
taste and skill of the young ladies. No
one could suppress EXPLANATIONS OF de-
light as they entered the familiar hall
so wondrously changed by the use OF
fiags, evergreens and the richest bios
SONS of spring. Promptly at eight
o'clock the exercises opened with song,
"America" after which the graduating
class marched in from the main en-
trance, to the sweet strains OF a march
played by Miss Dean Kitchens, lead
by the professor onto the stage where
they were seated. Rev. Spangler OF
JEFF rson addressed the class in very
appropriate and impressive manner,
following the essays OF the graduates
were read which proved quite interest
ing. The five young ladies looked very
charming In their pretty gowns and
lovely bouquets, while the ten young
men were equally as interesting In
their new black dress suits and white
badges. And no doubt the scene will
live in the memory Of all present as
one Of the most pleasing features OF the
season. Some very excellent music
was rendered by Mrs. A. smith. the
entertainment closing with a few
pleasant remarks from Professor
| Geddis.
