Pleasant Programme and Receive
I Diplomas.
Union Hall was beautifully decorated
last Thursday evening and filed with an
audience of several hundred people,
The occasion was the commen cement
exercises of the graduating class of the
New Ulm public schools.
The graduates were eleven in number
and the programme in which all partici-
pated was varied and interesting.
| The first number was song rendered
by double quartette, consisting of Ma
! rle and Minnie Schmidt, Hilda Koch,
Eva klossner, Anna Keller, Eleanor
Mullen, Emma Scheiderich and Dorothy
! Baarsch. .a- -
Erna Weschcke, the salutatorian of the
class, followed with an essay in German
which had for its title, "Ein Rueckblick
auf die Schulzeit.' It was a well-writ-
ten paper and equally we'll delivered.
Then came another song by the dou-
bic quartette, after which Robert Hirsch
delivered his grafton on ga Soci al Prob
lem.' 1t showed considerable individual
thought on the part of the young gradu-
ate and was we'll received. -.-..-

Johanna Weddendorf favored the audi
ance with piano duet. .@ III .-
A debate constituted the next number.
The speakers were Joseph Everling and
John Laudon and the subject of discus.
sion, "should the United States depart
from its traditional practice of avoiding
foreign alliances?" The argument of
each boy was warmly applauded, but it
was plain that the sympathies of the
audience were with the negative side of
the question. &.u.z .-..s .s...-.
An interesting class history, filled with
many humorous but pleasant incidents
at school, was given by Ernest J. Wesch-
cke, Miss Tillie Johnson recited "Whit-
mans Ride" in creditable man nner, and
Anna Keller and Minnie Schmidt sang
"Abschied der Schwalben.''
Peter Kitzberger's Grafton on the Ger
mans in Amerlca was also an interesting
feature of the programme.
/ The class prophecy and vale,lictory
was handled BY Miss Marie Schmidt
and was considered by all to be one
OF the best numbers of the evening. Fol-
lowing it the class song was sung. This
was composed by Miss Schmidt and was
really a clever production.
A piano solo by Johanna Weddend OFF
and couple of additional numbers by
the double quartette completed the class
programme.
An able address by Prof. Koehler of
Mankato followed and then the presen-
tation of diplomas.
The floral gifts were profuse and beau
tiful, the whole affair a pleasing one,
gratifying to teachers ana public alike.
