The Green Forest tribune., 1902-05-24

MISS Markley best recognize in her an accomplishment in litera- ture that is rarely equaled any where. The preparation of this poem would have reflected the highest credit upon it's author had 1t been rendered from any ros- trum in the state.
 "Weaving a Tissue" was the theme of Miss Clara Rush. Her articulation was excellent and in the judgment of the writer the subject was excellently handled. To weave the tissues which go to make up a noble character as portrayed by her certainly left a profound impression upon all.
 The closing effort of the class for the evening was W. o. News Class Prophecy, which showed a wonderful skill of imagination in the author. While we hope for better things than in the main was prophesied by Mr. New for his classmates, yet we must acknowl- = edge his exceptional ability as humOrist, and we doubtif another member of the class could have handled this particular subject so skillfully.
 Last upon the evenings pro- gram came the address of Rev. o. E. Goddard, which was a happy climax for the evenings entertainment. Rev. Goddard is one of the deepest men in the state, and his remarks were .un- doubtedly not only an uplift to the class, but deep inspiration for every nearer. We regret that space forbids synopsis of his remarks.
 Friday evenings program was opened by the class marching in, to music by Miss Amy Ramsey, followed by song by the Cram mar School Quartet.
 The "Iigh School Class of 1902" was the subject of Miss Hattie Phillips. It was a pro- duction of merit, rich with good suggestions for her classmates. May the many good graces with which she had them possessed follow them throughout life! Miss Phillips has splendid talent for recitation. She maintains absolute self-possession, which is indispensable in oratory.
 "The American Ideal" by Will jam Coxsey could have been re- peated with good effect upon many of his hearers. Since it is possible to see ones soul through the windows of their thoughts, we most assurediy behold a beauti- full soul in the clear expressive ness of Mr. Coxsey's ideal. Aside from his beautiful design, his de- livery was pleasant.
 Next came Miss Alta Cham plin's "Clear Shining After Rain" This was an expression of features and words much to be admired. She displayed good literary taste and quite a high degree of accomplishments in el- ocution and careful training. Briefly summed up her oration admonishes us to ''lay hold on the life-line" and discourage- ments will take care of them selves.
 "The Curse of Idleness' was profoundly dealt with by Miss Atha Naples. Her oration teem- ed with excellent advice. "No pain, no palm; no cross, no crown" She exhibited splendid tact in both preparation and de- livery.
 Rufus Norris greeted us with an interesting oration with ssTrue Successo for his subject. His was a theme that appealed to all, as it is not likely there is a per- son living who does not aspire to success in life. The thoughts he presented upon this subject Were well received.
 Miss Elsie Rush suggested a beautiful "Way to the Crown. Her graceful gestures exhibited an ability not reached by every elocutionist. Her voice was good and she was easily understood.
 The Class Grafton by Miss Burnice Foreman was an effort worthy of special mention. Miss Burnice is a natural elocutionist, with excellent training and the sound thought contained Tn hel
