commencement Exercises at the vogt Sat
urday Evening.
Last Saturday evening was COM
mencement day for The Dalles High
schools, and seventeen diplomas were
presented, though two of the graduates,
Max ]. Bartell and Walter T. Dickey,
were absent, having enlisted in the
army, and were called to the Philip
pines, however they were given ex-
animation prior to leaving, and were
granted diplomas.
The stage of the opera honse was
handsomely decorated with flowers
and flags, but the most attractive
features were the fifteen young ladies
and gentlemen who have spent years
in careful and arduous study, to fit
themselves for the honor that was on
that evening conferred upon them.
Five of the graduates who had pre-
pared orations for the occasion, graci-
ously consented to have their numbers
ommitted so that the exercises should
not he too long, hence but ten were
delivered. 1t would be a pleasure to
| the Times-Mountaineer to give a
| synopsis of each of the orations, for
| every one was masterpiece of INTEL
lect, but space will not permit. Suffice
it to say that the young people who
! graduated from the high school this
year acquitted themselves very credit
able, and we bespeak for each and
every one brilliant and successful
future. They "have 5uilded we'll and
