An Excellent Entertainment

Among the concert companies which
have appeared in Willmar of late
!" The Ottumwas are worthy of men,
ton in the first rank. Their first
nights appearance here, at the Semi
nary Hall, was not as successful for
the High School in point of attend
ance as It would have been with more
favorable weather, but those who
braved the storm were treated to a
most excellent entertainment. The
quartettes and solos were rendered so
creditably as to receive hearty encores.
Miss Jessie Kleinman, reciter, received
her full share of praise in the different
numbers which she rendered. Miss
Kleinman's graceful stage appearance,
combined with her fine voice, makes
her favorite entertainer wherever she
appears, and Friday nights audience
was no less appreciative of this fact.
Had the weather been more favorable
Seminary Hall would undoubtedly
have been packed. A large number OF
tickets had been disposed of at the ad.
vance sale, and but for the storm
enough tickets would have been sold
at the door to make it success for
the High School, for whose benefit the
entertainment was given. Among
those who worked hard to attain that
end, Supt. Fenno is deserving of credi,
for her persevering work. "The OF.
tumwas - made their second appear.

casion of the High School Commence.

bers on the evenings program.

SEMINARY COMMENCEMENT
A Class of Eleven Graduates
"A Successful School Year
Closed.

Last Monday evening Seminary
Hall was crowded to it's utmost ca
pacity, the occasion being the annual
commencement or graduating exer-
cises of that familiar institution of
learning-the Willmar Seminary. The
weather was fine, and although there
were numerous other attractions in the
city, the people turned out en- masse
to witness and listen to the interesting
program prepared and rendered by
students and home friends of the
school. Ex-students and friends OF
the school were present from many OF
the surrounding villages to witness
old and familiar scenes and stir up
old memories, as we'll as renew old and
make new acquaintances. The hall
was nicely decorated with green and
flowers, doing credit to those who had
the matter in charge. The following
program was rendered:
Opening Hymn.
Piano Solo Observation-Disclosures. Miss Markhus
:. Tie Race Problem, "":.:..:Joseph Magnuson
THE blessings OF Labor" SERVER thorpe
discipline, Observation-Disclosures struxness
Piano Solo. Miss Ethel Rains
"Contentment, ".......... Matte Halvorson
Words OF Praise" Hattie Rongerud
Conferriug OF Diplomas. 0D'''
Closing Hymn.
BenedictiOn.
Owing to the serious illness OF
SERVER Thorpe and his inability to be
present and deliver his Grafton him
self, Prof. Hilleboe read the same.
The essays, or orations, were all ex.
cellent and reflect great credit not
alone on those who delivered them,
but on the institution that made the
orations possible. Space forbids us
to extensively mention each one as we
would like to.
After the program was rendered a
number of people, remained to con-
graduate the graduates and shake
hands with friends and old school
mates. The students cleared the bust.
ness room, and soon an old-time $50
cial" was in full progress, where
everybody seemed to enjoy themselves
to their hearts content. After awhile
everybody was invited to the boarding
hall, where ice cream, cake and coffee
were served, and where each one was
presented with q neat souvenir caro-
with the class motto, "Step by Step,'
written thereon by Prof. Jansrud, thu
teacher in penmanship.
The following were the graduate:
from the different courses: Alder
Struxness and Matte Halvorson, from
the Teachers course; Server Thorpe
Modern Language; Hattie Rongerut
and Joseph Magnuson, Academic
course; Magnus Miller, Nels Brown
Lars Jorstad, Louis Larson, Emf
Cook and NJ. A. Peterson, from tn
Commercial course.
The past year has been a very sue
cessful one for the school in man,
ways. Extensive improvements hav
been made on the building, such as re
modelling some OF the rooms, paperin,
and placing electric lights, etc. Tn
attendance has been good, and las
but not least, the financial agent, Rev
Peterson, OF Sissetop, South Dakota
informs US that the finances of the in
stitution are in excellent condition
and that they will enter on their mex
school year with greater possibilities
than ever.
