With Glory.

~ :
e a large audience, comprising people
OF this city and many from Argyle,
stephen and othe9n ghboring towns,
graced the occasion by their presence,
and all were greatly pleased with the
manner in which the class of 81 ac-
quilted itself. This is really the first
class graduated from the complete
State High School course Of study,
and Susie K. Easton, Arthur M.
Johnson, and Charles f. Tullar, are
the energetic and capable young stu
dents, who have successfully COM
pleted the course.
The exercises opened with q we'll
rendered piano solo by Miss Flora
Lamberson, after which Rev. E. F.
Spicer led in prayer. Next followed
the oration, Development of Science
and Thought" by Arthur NJ. John
son. In handling the subject the
speaker showed that he had given it
much thought and study, and hewas
capable OF clothing his thoughts in
elegant language. The value Of sci
entifc investigation in advancing the
cause of civilization was admirably
set forth by the speaker.
Next came much appreciated
song, "Come Away to the Woods"
by q quartette, composed of Maude
Wees, Bessie Gordon, Arthur John
son and Magnus Bystrom, and then
Charles E. Tullar gave the ''Class
History" This was most interest
ing account OF the progress OF the
class through the high school, the
changes in the corps Of instructors,
the change of studies, and many 9TH
er events and Incidents which make
school life interesting and call back
pleasant memories 81 school days
The history was replete with that
droll humor of which Mr.. Tullar is
capable.
A ladies trio, Softly ROAM by
Grace Chapin, Louise Grindeland and
Eta Brady, was well sung and much
appreciated.
The .'Class Prophecy" by Florence
Ketcham, Of the Class OF '9S, was an
excellent paper, both from literary
and prophetic point of view. The
future OF each member of the class
was foretold in a most admirable
manner, and with such an air of seri-
BUSINESS, that class and audience half
believed the statement of the pro-
phetess, that she had received the
revelations from Apollo himself.
Next came q delightful piano solo,
Across the Ocean, by Maude Wees.
Miss Susie Easton presented her
essay, Heroes of Every Day. in a
clear, resonant voice, and in a happy,
pleasing manner. It was a well writ
ten paper, and betokened earnest and
intelligent thought and diligent study
on her part. In it she paid tribute
to the heroes Of every day, whose mo-
BILE deeds are most frequently left un-
sung IN her delivery Miss Easton
demonstrated that she possesses ele-
cntionary powers Of q high order, 40
well as literary ability. %
Judge Grindeland now stepped for
ward and delivered short address
to the class, replete with good advice
and practical suggestions. He spec
ially urged upon the gradua tes and
AL pupils the necessity Of . more
careful and diligent study Of the
English Language, and discredited
the use Of slang. He advised them
to make their education practical
and serviceable in life. He congratu-
lated the graduates upon having
successfully completed the prescribed
course, wished them q happy and
prosperous future, and in behalf 81
the Board Of Education presented
them with their diplomas. 3.
