Red Cross" Miss Hansen impressed
one as a girl of sterling good sense.
She sketched briefly the life and work
of Miss Clara Barton. The sketch was
made in excellent good sense and
literary form.
This was followed by the class
prophecy by-Heorge Ralph Sutherland.
This proved to be another very funny,
sunny and punny affair as be remarked
about the career through school Of
Miss Olga Miller He took the stand
of being an alchemist who had eX-
amined the brains of his companions
and was, therefore, able to see the
future by direct analogy. For instance
he placed Herbert Shearer in the presi-
dental chair, Mr. Joachim iii the
senate. One young lady was on a
supreme bench out west. All the pro-
LESSONS were we'll distributed while he
provided for one new woman and a
bachelor maid with cats and parrots.
The orchestra again struck up on
At the Races" a descriptive piece.
In this the musicians hit another
popular chord.
Miss Ethel Julia Grant next read
her essay on The Modern Heroine of
Fiction" She sketched rapidly the
heroines which served the various
times Of great writer's and wound up
with the heroine who is accepted to-
day. She said it was the college
woman and came near describing her
as the typical so-called new woman"
The essay was we'll written.
Herbert Shearer was valedctOl'ian
and his grafton was on The Closing
Decade of the Nineteenth Century,"
He spoke of the wonderful advance
ment of our time and praised the efforts
to end barbarism by international arbi-
tration. Notwithstanding all our ad-
vancement in the arts, sciences and in
ventions, he believed with the greatest
opponents of these several branches Of
human effort, that they were still in
their infancy. Public instruction he
said was the foe to anarchy. To the
classmates he addressed some very
we'll chosen remarks on the life about
to be entered upon. The speech was
all we'll timed and appropriate in the
extreme.
superintendent Mcdowell presented
the diplomas to the class accompan.-
ed by one of the neatest and most APP
propriate little speeches Mr.. Mcdowell
ever made and he is somewhat noted
for timely remarks.
immediately at the end Of it the au-
dience was dismissed and the orchestra
played Glass of '96" by Prof Schultz.
During the evening telegram of
congratulation was received from Mrs.

The real merit Of Hoods Sarsaparilla is
the reason OF its widespread popularity.
Its unequalled success is it's best recon.

upon the time and remedy, for history
has it recorded that delays are dangerous.
The remarkable success achieved by
Hoods Sarsaparilla and the many words

of your confidence. We ask you to give
this medicine fair trial.
