GRADUATION EXERCISES
OF THE WARREN HIGH SCHOOL.

The annual Commencement of the
Warren High School is an event that
is always looked forward to with in
terest and pleasure, and this year
was no exception. A large number
of the friends of the Class of 1900
had assembled to greet them on this
memorable occasion of their lives,
and the Opera house fell far short of
accommodating them all.
The excellent program commenced
with all impressive invocation by
Rev. L. F. NJ. Clark, followed by a
song, "..Tis Morn" nicely rendered by
a double quartet OF High School
pupils. r.
Miss Flossie Brown, the young lady
graduate, was next introduced, and
in pleasing manner and voice deliv-
cred the salutatory and a splendid es-
say on Francis Bacon, the great
English philosopher. In choice Ian
guage she portrayed and analysed
the character, work, genius and in
.fuence of this remarkable man, whom
Donneily by a peculiar cipher demon
stration has endeavored to prove as
the real author OF Shakespeare.
Miss Brown acquitted herself with
credit both to herself and the school.
She is a bright and talented young
lady, who will surely carve for herself
a successful future.
A piano duet by Synneya and Clar.
issa Grindeland was we'll received, as
was also the fine vocal solo, 20
Moonlight Deep and TENDER by
Miss Filetia Cross.
Next followed the Grafton by the
other graduate, Albert E. whitney,
who had chosen Tor his subject "Our
Public Schools His effort showed
careful and thoughtful preparation,
and was delivered in an easy, grace
fnl manner. The value OF a good ed
ucation to the individual, the state,
and the nation was pointed out clear
~, hence the Importance of maintain
ing good schools. Under a republi-
an form of government an ed
ucated citizenship IS needed to prop
erly exercise the right of suffrage
and to ward off the evils that threat
EN- the country. In closing, Mr..
Whitney also pronounced the vale
dictory of the class. In we'll chosen
words he bade farewell to class mate,
school mates, teachers and the Board
Of Education. He is wholly pro-
duct OF the Warren school, having
started in the primary as little boy
and passed through every grade and
the complete High School course.
He is good student and a bright,
promising young man, OF whom the
Warren school may we'll be proud
and of whom still greater achieve
ments may be expected in the future.
Another very enjoyable musical
number was a piano solo, ''Reveil Du
Lion" by MISS Flora Lamberson.
Next came the address by Rev. H.
P. Fisher, of CrookstoD, on the sub
ject ''Our Schools and Our Republic.
1t was an able and instructive ad-
dress, full OF noble thoughts and
patriotic sentiments, and will be long
remembered by all present.
Another song, Come, Fairies ALL"
by the double quartet, and then fol-
lowed the presentation of the class
by Supt. Angus and the comforting OF
the diplomas by Mr.: W.$N. Powell,
president OF the Board OF Education.
Before handing over The documents,
Mr.. Powell made a happy little
speech to the graduates, congratu-
lating them upon having completed
the prescribed course OF study, and
wishing them a happy and successful
career in life.
The benediction pronounced by
Rev. E. Looms closed one OF the
best and most interesting commence
ments OF the Warren High School.
Supt. Angus and his efficient corps
of teachers merit the warlnest CON
CALCULATIONS for the happy termina-
ton Of successful school year.
