Little Falls weekly transcript. (Little Falls, Morrison Co., Minn.) 1894-19??, 1900-06-01

HERNIA Beatty. In we'll chosen
words rythmically arranged the
young speaker, with a modest refer
ence to herself, extolled each one OF
the other eleven members of her class,
The appreciation of her clever effort
was attested by hearty applause. ~
Frank Kiewel followed with an
Grafton on ''Monopolies and Trusts.
While Mr.. Kiewel condemned the
trusts and monopolies, he did not
go SO far as to offer a remedy for
them. However he gave valuable
and authentic Information concern
ing the evils that result from their
existence and made an able argu-
ment for their suppression in some
manner. Mr.. Kiewel's manner of
speaking was pleasing and his ora
ton proves him to be a student. -
A defamation. "Coeur de Lion at
the Deathbed of His father" was
beautifully rendered by Miss Isabel
Heath. :.: !: si go, =,
One of the best original numbers
on the program was the grafton ssby
Mark Millspaugh. "President Nc
Kinley's Attitude Toward the Phili-
pines,'' was the subject, and a very
able argument, justifying the presi-
dents so-called expansion policy
was made. Mark gives promise of
greater things in the future, and at
the conclusion his effort was given
generous share of applause.
Harry Kerr, as the writer of the
original poem for the class, truth
fully said is the orator of the class,
His GRAFTON, "Spartacus to The Ro-
man ENJOYS, was delivered in an ex-
cellent manner. He possesses a
strong voice and has had consider
able training in it's use. Harry was
loudly applauded at the conclusion
of his part of the program.
An Grafton, with "Mozart'' as the
subject, was pleasingly delivered by
Miss Clytte Stuart, and wasfollowed
by a we'll rendered violin solo by
Miss Norma Williams.
VIM. Fans delivered an interest
ing Grafton on "Booksand Reading"
and Miss Letetia Raymond followed
him with a humorous defamation,
entitled 1.-THE Conversazzhyouy."
Miss Raymond's rendition of this
piece was clever and pleasing.
Only one OF the numbers on the
program could really be said to be
a disappointment and that was the
Grafton of Roy Robinson. The dis
appointment was in the audience
not having it. The title was
"Spanish Rule in Cuba" Those who
had the privilege OF reading it before
the exercises state that it was one of
the best OF the original numbers on
the program. Through nervous
ness and a lack OF confidence, Mr..
Robinson forgot a portion Of it, and
as the rules adopted to govern these
exercises do not permit prompting
he sat down without finishing.
The sympathy OF the audience was
with him and thisl :.little:::. failure
thoughyembarrassing7 at the time
will doubtless make1 mimi more 1cer-
tain OF success in future efforts.
A defamation by Miss Mamie
Jones, entitled "How John Quit the
Farm" made a good impression up
on the audience.
The last number on the program
of the class exercises was an, illus
trated lecture by Miss Emma Collins.
The Seniors were her subject and
she gave q very humorous description
of what each member of the Senior
would lie fifteen hence in the opinion
of the juniors. Her lecture was ILL
ustrated by life-size crayon sketches,
the Seniors as they were expected to
appear in 1916, and with the lecture
created considerable ammusement.
Both lecture and drawings were or
iginal and proved highly interesting,
and won for Miss Collins the gener'
GUS approval of the audience.
The exercises concluded with 8
comic selection by quartet OF male
voices, composed of Arthur Lord
Henry Richard, Homer Richard and
Shelly Robinson.
None present but fully realized
that the Junior class is composed O.
bright, Industrious students and thu
prediction was made that al
members would finish the High schoo
course and graduate with credit tt
themselves in 1901. ''s. <>>,
