of the diplomas to the proud and
happy class of SO, and TO listen to tbs
lecture OF Governor Murphy to said
class. Professor Gal1ick's orchestra
never was known to have given SO gen.
eral satisfaction to their hearers
which however, was not to be wonder
ed at greatly when We take into con-
sideration the character of their in
! spiratiOn-a stage full Ct pretty and
daintily dressed graduates with their
dignified escort, the governor of the
territory, clergymen, faculty and prin-
cipal of the school, as well as the
young men Of the class, who tried to
hide their difident appearing figures
| behind the voluminous ruff1es CT or
candies and Swisses worn Icy their fair
classmates. While the music was in
spring, the speech of the governor
to the class was no less so, being de-
| livered with an earnestness and di-
rectness of manner very impressive to
his hearers, the gist of his remarks
being called forth by a reading by Miss
Gussie Raib1e just previous, entitled
The Man With the Hoe" He set
forth the fact that in this land of ours
| 1t is most decidedly the toiler who is
| the prince among men, the ruler of
the nation. Among other remarks the
governor put in very forcible man
ner the imperative need Of our town
for a modern and commodious school
building, saying, and very truly, that
in no other manner could Prescott be
SO greatly and Immediately benefited
as by the> erection of a suitable high
school building. The stage was elab-
orately decorated with flowers and
foliage, the pillars being wound round
with blue and gold (the class co,ors)
while between the two foremost was
hung the class motto, Cad Astra Per
Aspera Go the stars through diff
cultieS), which was gold lettered on
blue cloth. In presenting the dip1c-
mas Professor Mathews seemed to
have difficulty in restraining his emo
ton. and there were evidences of
RIGHTEOUSNESS and tears being very
near the surface, on the faces of most
OF the graduates, as we'll as many of
