Benediction-Rev Dr.. Nicholas,
The orations were all good They
indicated much work in preparation
and deep study. A sad affair Of the
proceedings was the sudden illness of
Miss Goldie Wilson, whose part in the
/ program IL WdS necessary W pass L hS
class poem by Miss Frances Palmer
was beautiful recital of class history
and future prospects. Her ease and
| grace of delivery was charming.
The exercises were brought to a
close by the presentation of diplomas
! by President Carter. He addressed
them with words of cheer and con
graduation
A notable feature of the program
was the musical training of the stu
dents in the chorus by Prof. Schubert.
1t shows the necessity of music in the
schools. Prof Schubert's rendering OF
Chopin's Grand Polonaise," Op. SO,
was splendid. This is one of the most
difficult musical compositions ever
written.
Rev Nicholas pronounced the bene-
diction and dismissed the great crowd
of admirers. This commencement re-
fleets much credit upon Prof. Camp
bell as city superintendent. This is
the second commencement over which
he has presided for the Guthrie high
school and each one is a fiattering
compliment to his earnest, untiring
efforts to place the Guthrie schools
upon the highest educational plane.

graduate carried huge boquet of Me-
teor roses and cape jassamines. The
brave boy graduates wore single bout
toniers of the same var ETY., the chosen
flower of the class of 1900. Glass coll
ors, pure white and deep blue. mingled
to a conspicuoCs extent in the decorA-
tions.
The curtain was a few minutes
tardy in going up and when it did the
audience were convulsed with the
pretty scene. Rev. w. d. Matthews,
pastor of the M. K. church, south, ad-
varced and offered a most eloquent
prayer of invocation. The orations
were introduced with an excellent
musical number, from chorus com
posed of members of the Central
school and conducted by Prof. c. j..
Schubert.
The program Of the exercises was
as follows:
