Bozeman, June 3.-The 18th annual
commencement exercises of the Bozeman
High school were held at the opera house
last night. The class of '99 consisted of
nine young ladies and eight young gen.
tcmen, the largest number of graduates
the High school has ever had. AS Boze-
man is the school town of the state, 1t is
not surprising the opera house was filed
to overlooking with proud and loving rel
atlves and admiring friends, many OF
whom stood for nearly three hours In or
der to listen to the programme, which
was one of more than ordinary interest.
Owing to the fact that the school board
felt that the city could not afford the
expense of two evenings exercises, only
nine of the graduates took part in the pro-
gramme.
The literary productions of the repre-
sentatives of the class were of very
high order, intensely interesting and de-
livered with more than usual strength
and earnestness. The stage wasdecorated
very prettily with the class colors, potted
flowers and evergreens Over the stage
the pink and green class colors were taste
fully arranged in alternate folds. and in
the center was the motto of the class,
"Gradatim" and underneath the figures
1893.
The salutatory "The ideal is the Real
by Miss Ellen Gottschalck was a we'll
worded address, full of thought and de-
livered clearly and deliberately. Arthur
Milton Stevenson's oration, "Our Coun-
try was full of patriotism. and the class
poem by Miss Lucille Quaw was an excel
lent and well-arranged poetical production.
Garfield Z. Morris has an excellent voice
and his Grafton on SPANS Mistakes
was well adapted to it and was bright
and interesting. The youngest member
of the class, Miss Edna Lewis. then de-
livered an Grafton on Getting On in the
World 1t was full of wisdom and adj
vice. and among other things stated the
fact to be that the brightest students did
not always take advantage of their abil-
tiles to such an extent as the less favored
but plodding pupil.
The Glass History" by Oliver Richard
Railey, was interesting, not only to the
class, but to ALL FREQ Melvin Brown took
for his subject the nicaragua Canal
and this difficult subject was handled in
an excellent way. The "Class Prophecy"
by Miss Edith Wynn was very bright and
bristled with many pertinent hits on the
probable future of each of the class of
90, some of them were placed in awkward
predicaments and had better take hint
as to their journey down the path of life
In the days to come.
Miss Flora Madge Hartman had the
honor of delivering the valedictory. and
had selected for her theme 1.-THE Living
Present" Her enunciation was clear, and
IN the preparation of her Grafton she had
mastered her allotted task and thrown her
whole soul into it, was evidenced by
the earnest manner of it's delivery and the
thorough belief in her convictions.
