ster and it seemed as if every parent
was present to witness the efforts Of
the children. From beginning to
end it was a series Of successful sur
prises, and displayed the talent of the
performers and the careful training
and drilling of the teachers.
The program commenced by
piano solo by Miss Mamie Sears
rendered in a style which spoke
highly of her musical training and
ability. Master Willie Turner then
delivered the address of welcome in
a spirit beneftting the occasion. A
Sunfower chorus, beautiful Twi'

representing sunfowers, was then
given and scored a uccess
The next number on the program
was the rendition of Mother Goose
nursery rhymes in character, by the
first primary pupils. All of the
familiar characters such as "Little
Boy Blue" "Hot Cross Buns" sold
Woman who Lived in a Shoe," etc.,
were present and the number took
well, evoking enthusiastic applause,
This was followed by a sunaower
chorus, "a Home on the Prairie for
me-" by twelve pupils. This was a
very taking number and heartily en-
cored. The true story of George
Washington and his Ratchet was then
pantominically given, being first ex-
planned by Miss Bessie Atkins. The

OF his hearers, and was far more APP
preciated than any set effort could
ever be. In closing he gave evil
dences of his wonderful memory by
quoting one of Burns poems and
closed with the words from Hamlet:
"To thine own self be true, and it
shall follow, as night the day, thou
cans't not then be false to any man !"
In behalf of the board of education
Il. w. Parliman presented the class
with the diplomas. He expressed
the qualification and satisfaction it
gave himself and colleagues to be
present on such an occasion and to
feel that, in an official capacity, it
wastheir privilege to have contributed
toward the grand success presented
to the public that evening. He re-
minded the class that while they had
the aid of their instructors, still it
was self reliance and their earnest in
dividual efforts which enabled them
to reach the pinnacle of success, and
urged them to still exercise effort to
advance further in the fields of learn
ing. He complinlented the corps of
teachers for the able evidence pre-.
sented OF their untiring zeal during
the past school year, and congratu-
lated the citizens of Webster upon
the possession of such a school, schol-
ars and faculty. He outlined the
course mapped out by the board of
education for the coming year, and
closed by presenting each graduate
the diploma, with which act the class
of '96 became alumni.

an instrumental solo, by ID. Krug,
IA played by Miss Addie McKen-
nett in faultless style, giving evidence
of the cultured talent and musical
ability which she undoubtedly pos
sesses.
This closed the exercises, after
which the graduates were presented
with the many gifts of flowers and
books which had been provided by
admiring and happy friends. Con

is to be regretted that Miss Rose M.
Killian sewers her connection with
the school, but as she goes forth to
new fields of labor she will carry
with her the best wishes for her pros
perity of an army of friends. Her
place in the faculty will be taken by
Miss A. Maude Abbott, whose ability
and talent is so we'll known as to re-
quire no comment at this time. She
comes direct from the Valparaiso
academy, where she has been further
fitting herself for school work. The
first primary room will be taken in
charge by Mrs. Emma r. Smith,
which will be welcome news to the
parents of the smaller scholars.
The Reporter congratulates the
class of '96 upon the successful
termination Of their school work, and
trusts that each one may be just as
successful in whatever avocation they
may engage in the future. We
trust the teachers may find the vaca-
ton a pleasant one and the beginning
of school in September will find you
much benefited by the few months
rest. Hail and farewell.

A vocal solo, "T'he Rock by the
Sea-" by Converse, was sung by Miss
Mamie Sears, who by eason of a bad
cold was unable to do justice to her
talent, for she is a very fine singer,
but her sweet little melody was very
we'll accepted by the audience.
Governor Charles Fl. Sheldon de-
~livered the class address. In starting
out he frankly confessed that after

The School and Faculty..

!. is especially appropriate that
our commencement edition should
contain ONE words of appreciation
of the noble work of the able corps
of teachers in our school. Our citizens
are to be congratulated upon the
magnificent showing made upon
Thursday and Friday evenings, the
entire credit of which must be given
to Prof. Rock and his faithful assist.
ants. Each has contributed his OF
her share towards the successful
termination of the studies of the high
school class.
Great are the responsibilities of the
teacher, from primary grade to the
finish must the footsteps of the pupil
be guarded and guided in the pIr-
suit of knowledge. Grave response
bility rests upon the teacher in the
primary grade, for there the founda-
ton of the building of a school life
is laid. As the pupil advances from
grade to grade, from teacher to
teacher, the finer elements in his or
her nature are developed and brought
out. And thus gradually, from year
to year, the child grows to manhood
or womanhood to become a power
for good or evil. 1t is essential,
therefore, that the teachers should
possess ability, patience and an
interest in each and every scholar and
are such that the pupil can honor and
love. That the present faculty pos.
sess these qualifications all are aware,
and many are the sacrifices they have
made in the past year that their
pupils might advance. All have

That sweet little singer, Oracle Hull,
then sang a solo, Won't you come
to my Tea Party in such a taking
manner as to cause a demand for a
repetition. This was followed by a
musical recitation by four little
maids, Grace Gruby, Irene Arthur,
Josephene Granger and Madeline
Sears, an original number which also
delighted the hearers. Miss Addie
McKennett again gave evidence of
her fine musical ability and progress,
in a piano solo. Following this came
the tragedy of the evening, the ever
wonderful tale of 1.-The Babes in the
Wood" in pantomine, explanation
being first given by Miss Andrea
Aauby. The sweet little babes pea

brought forth handkerchiefs all over
the house, the villianous uncle, Tom
Bones, the bloodthirsty robbers,
Sears and Arthur, their exciting
quarrel and sword combat, the death
of the babes and their burial by the
robins was all carried out to perfec-
ton. At the close of this tragedy
there was not a dry eye in the house.
AT this point Prof. Rock addressed
the audience and gave a review Of
the work of the school year just
closed and a synopsis of what is lain
out for the year to come. He urged
upon the parents the necessity of a
faithful attendance of the pupils in
order to acquire the full benefits of
the school curriculum.
Three minuet tableux, with red
fire accompaniment, were then given
and vas a striking feature of the
evenings program. Another sunfow-
er chorus, Goodnight" Goodnight
scene by three little maids in night
dresses with candle sticks, was the
finale.

CALCULATIONS were then heartily ex-
tended to The teachers and performers
