Our Father in Heaven, this occasion
means much to 1t speaks to of
| Thy providence over We lift our
hearts in gratitude to Thee. We thank
Thee for the occasion which brings us
here. We thank Thee for all the institu-
tions which belong to We thank
Thee for this institution under whose au-
spices we gather. May the people be

speaker.
The Swing Song by the High school
class, was beautiful chorus that lent a
charming effect.
Miss Viola Kampf delivered the Jun

the young lady, her neatness and her
charming voice, and the natural hue on
her cheek, won for her admiration. In
extreme modesty she said that time. pa

things, and this was said in clear voice
which was heard in the distant parts of
the spacious hall.
The juniors. in addressing the gradu-
ates, she said, will be encouraged by
your success. We ara separated, but the
good feelings exist. Our memory will
be pleasant in our separation.
