The stage was thanked by the national
cOlors, set with pottcd plants and flowers,
and otherwise appropriately adorned.
A red streamer at the top of the curtain
bore the class motto. Besides the class,
the heroes and heroines of the occasion,
the personnel of the platform comprised
Messrs. A. G. Wilson and l.. d. Rohrer,
of the School Board John r. White, ex-
aminer; p. O'Rourke, assistant eX-
aminer; George Stern, G.. G.. Townsend
and G. II. Hamill, trustees Rev's Henry
Thomas, G. II. Cannon and H. r. BoOch,
DR.. T. Griffith, f. G. Beall, O. B. BouSh-
ton, and cX-professor l.. J. Ort.
The audience was one of the largest
and most brilliant Frostburg ever turned
out-foor and gallery alike teeming
with the towns rih The love-lavish
hand of Flora had borne i'll flowers
yuIore and embalmed the air of the hall
with fragrance whose airy sweets
eXuded from carnation, orange blossom
and peony.
There was delay in beginning there
always is At length the principal, G.
| w. Craig, got the Arion band cD pose for
the overture, but bright, pretty young
woman suggested to the JOURNAL that
the band should fill the number with an
old-time air
We wont go home till morning.
The GLASS Ode"-a gem of vocal
melody, was soft, sweet clear prelude
to the heavier work to follow. 1t dem
onstrated that the class can sing as well
as read recite and declaim.
Miss Jetfries favored the audience with
gracefully delivered salutatory address.
Miss Weimer's essay nicely read,
brought applause for her effort.
Miss Smith sang sweetly Pigment
from the depths of sleep.
Mr.. Somerville paid eloquent tribute
to the flag and exhibited talents which,
cultivated, may enrol his name among
the orators.
Miss Smith led off in the debate and
earned much praise.
Mr.. Henry, however, captivatcd the
court, the audience, and, of course, won.
THE Judges were Messrs. Wilson,
Rohrer and Townsend. During Miss
Smiths address Mr.. H. was visibly
amused, it is supposed, at the weak, pos
sibly absurd positions taken by the little
lady. So that when he arose he plunged
right into the core of his topic with
fluent energy, adorned by excellent adj
dress and gesture. He gained largely
upon his tender competitor i'll the fact
that his address was cyfcmpOrP.
Miss Workman is the dramatic MEM
Der of the class, the first recitation Civ
ing her opportunity to display this ac-
complishment. The second, of different
order, confirmed her distinction. In
ease and self possession she is model of
stage department.
Miss Pfaff read the annals of the class
with a Zest which brought here and
there great full stops of applause. THE
average audience likes the biography of
Sweethearts.)
Miss Jones essay was interesting and
instructive.
Then the seer of the class, Mr.. Hill,
arose. With more than a fortune-tel-
ler's dignity he opened wide the prospect
of future times when promotions to the
bar, bench, ministry and housekeeping
will crowd the class with more business
than each can now shake Il stick at.
a little profuse i'll gesture, Mr.. Lam
inert nevertheless madea fine impression
and the "valcdictory' proved highly ac-
ceptable.
Mr.. Craig came forward and in the
name of the valcdictOrian's parents,
Mr. and Mrs. Peter Lammert, presented
him with gold watch, an incident
which evoked applause.
Mr.. White, examiner, gentleman of
fine presence, manner and voice, de
livercd an address which the audience
applaudcd.
