The Anaconda standard., 1896-05-17


graduating class consisted of nine
members as follows: Ruth Lowry
Nora Taylor. Harry Elliot, May Nolan,
Charles Buchanan, Mark Conrow, Har-
riet Mallon. Berthe Ferte and Thomas
Graham. Each and every one of the
orations showed that there had been
considerable time, study and research
devoted to their preparation and
evinced familiarity of the different
speakers with the subjects losen. In
many ways was there exhi. ed proof
that their school days had been profit
ably spent and that they were now pre-
pared with an education liberal enough
to start in upon and succeed in almost
any vocation in life. Not being able to
reproduce the orations in this column,
nor to do justice to each individual ef-
fort by publishing segregated quota
tions or excerpts, 1t but remains to say
| that all the orations were highly meri-
/ torious in composition, diction and de-
livery. and for the most part empha-
sized with proper and graceful ges-
lures. Probably in all the audience
there were none more highly gratified
or possessing that pardonable degree
| of pride which belongs to Prof. +. S.
| Monical and Miss Anna McDermott,
who, upon this occasion, witnessed the
successful results which have crowned
their efforts as instructors in the high
er grades of the Livingston schools. A
profusion of the usual floral tokens was
presented to the class through the IA
vor of four flower maids, dressed in
spotless white, the Misses Esther Bou-
ton, Maggie Nolan. Mabel King and
May Nolan. The exercises were inter-
spersed with vocal and instrumental
music and We're brought to a close by
the presentation of diplomas by John
T. Smith of the school board, in his
usual felicitous manner.
Invitations are out for a dance to be
