Hioh School Commencement
Graduating Exercises.


Commencement exercises of the
Dodge City High School graduates
Beeson's orchestra furnished the
music, and enlivened the time with
delightful strains. Miss Mamie
Dunn was accompanied.
The stage of the opera house was
handsomely decorated with flowers
and bunting. The class motto: $50
little done; SO much to do was con-
spicious, in large letters.
Elder E. M. Halle delivered the in
ought to be thankful for the talents
they possess; that they ought to de-
velop them unto the use for the
glory of God who gave them. He
hoped they would be inspired with
the advantages which this life gives.
Eleven graduates took part in the
exercises. The papers read were ex-
cellent, and treated of different sub
lects with thought and reason.
Miss Nora Sughrue with distinct
voice, gave the welcome. The sub
iect, ssThe marble lies wa1ting," was
an example of life. Our lives like
marble lie before us, on which we
must ingcribe our events If we are
wise we will inscribe in earnest lines
that we will study and put on it all
the good principles. If we use the
proper tools in the inscription we
make we viii cease study until we
see life beyond measure.
Miss Frances Wright, in GA CHS
tian Patriot gave a fine view of the
character of Mr.. Mckinley, ex-presi-
dent. Miss Wright told the story in
q modest manner. If we look at his
life from the age of fifteen years to
the time he occupied the Presidential
chair, we find the full measure of
hope and purity of life. He bore his
spirit in all the affairs which he dis
charged. He was possessed of SUI
perb patriotism. It was of that char
acter which dared to do right. She
exalted Mckinley in the christian
patriot. His last dying words, cit is
Gods WILL" in them you have all
the christian patriotism and goodness
of Mckinley.
''The Night Brings out the Stars"
by Miss Francez Sughrue in charm
ing voice and manner, told of the
diff culties we must surmount in
climbing this life of fame. These
difficulties are helpful to our lives.
We rise in greatness when we over
come difficulties. The lives of dis
tinguished men show US how great
results are accomplished. Adversely
is the key note of success. The
school of difficulty is the best school
of training. The skillfu1 mariner
has his guidance through storms and
dangers. Reward is the hope of bet
ter existence. Miss Maude Rhodes,
with good voice and without timidity,
sang solo.
Miss Mabel Webb, in firm voice
and dignified gestures, told about
stThe Spirit of a Nation She spoke
of the development of genius, and of
the paradox of geniuse people with
contrary traits. The difference of
races was accounted on the difference
of countries The Chinese have made
advances. As they progress their
ideal rise. OF the Puritans she said
there was a lack of elegance. but they
dispensed the better social qualities,
and were humble under Gods guild
ance.
Miss Nettie Stubbs spoke on a
timely topic. She told how to 'sLead
or Follow" She asked, why do all
people under discouragements sink in
obscurity? The pushing spirit is in
sturdiness. Higher forms survive.
Difference of conditions account for
the inequalities. That which makes
leaders of ordinary men and wo-
men is the problem before us. It is
patriotism as named in distinguished
people, who become illastrious for all
time. In these strong characters
moral and physical courage asserts
itself
