ness the fourth annual commence
lnent of the Salt Lake. High school.
Promptly at $3.50 the High School yell
rang out and soon the curtain rose re-
vealing a beautiful sight. The stage
was decorated very artistically. A
fountain was placed in the back around
which were grouped palms, carnations,
lnarguerifes and many kinds of beau
tiful plants. The sprays were change
able in color, sometimes of rosy nue.
and then again pale blue.
To the accompaniment of the hrst
number, Spanish dances rendered by
Allie Miller and Inez Trent, the grad
yates came one by one and quietly
took their seats. The scene presented
will long be remembered by the friends
OF the graduates. The yopng ladies at
tired in becoming costumes of cream
color were the cynosure OF all eyes.
The young men of course received their
share of attention. The members OF
the board OF education, Superinten-
dent Millspaugh and Professor Ma
lone also, were seated on the stage.
Rev. B. f. Clay delivered the invo-
cation, after which the Girls Chorus
club composed of Misses Maggie Hull,
Bessie Emise, May Tiff, Lillian Oak
son, May Davis, Lola Vincent, Maud
Bowring, Winnie Oakley and Annie Bur
ton sang THE Oars are FLASHING
Lightly Their voices accorded well
and their rendition showed thorough
training, for which Mr.. George C.
Young, the musical director OF the
school, deserves much credit.
