Of this city and many from Argyle,

graced the occasionb by their presence,
and all were greatly pleased with the
manner in which the class Of 90 ac-
quilted itself. This is really the first
class graduated from the complete
State High School course Of study,
and Susie X. Easton, Arthur NJ.
Johnson, and Charles +. Tullar, are
the energetic and capable young stu
dents, who have successfully COM
pleted the course. ss4 s5y
The exercises opened with a well
rendered piano solo by Miss Flora
Lamberson, after which Rev. +. 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 he was
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 a much appreciated
song, "Come Away to the Woods
by a quartette, composed Of Maude
Wees, Bessie Gordon, Arthur john
son and Magnus Bystrom, and then
Charles F.. Tullar gave the Glass
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 Of school days.
The history was replete with that
droll shumor Of which Mr.. Tullar is
capable.
A ladies trio, "Softly Roam by
Grace Chaplin, Louise Grindeland and
Eta Brady, was well sung and much
appreciated
The "Class Prophesy +" by Florence
Ketcham, Of the Class Of 90, was an
excellent paper, both from a 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 serii-
BUSINESS, that class and audience half
believed the statement Of the pro-
phetess, that she had received the
revelations from Apollo himself.
Next came a delightful piano solo,
"Across the Ocean, by Maude Wees.
Miss Susie Easton presented her
essay, ''Heroes Of Every Day, z in a

to the heroes OF every day, whose no
bic deeds are most frequently left un-
sung. In her delivery Miss Easton
demonstrated that she possesses ele-
cntionary powers Of q high order, as
well as literary ability.
