ably with those Of past years. Palms
and cut flowers at either end of the
stage and very pretty foreground
along the entire length of the stage OF
entwined bunting in the class colots,

was added to the decorations by the

The program throughoutwas greatly
enjoyed. The singing by the choruses
showed good results of Miss Frahm's 9
work as supervisor in music. Mrs.
Knebel was obliged to respond to an
encore. Before the presentation OF

sion to make few appropriate re-
marks in presenting the class to the
board, in which he referred to the

work with the class, and at the same

pliment. DR.. johnson entertained the
audience with q brief address in de-
fence of the High School system, as q
supplement to his presentation OF

"JASON AND THE GOLDEN FLEECE. "
Rev. G. L. Morrill, of the Peoples
church, Minneapolis, addressed the
gradu ating class On the above subject.
The talk was a very interesting one
and the address was made in that
style which only Rev. Morrill, alone
can give. It abounded in wit, humor
and pathos, and was q most welcome
sample of that reverend gentleman's
eloquence.
He had just returned from Kentucky,
and put his audience in good humor
by a darky story which he brought
back, telling of a Baptist minister In
heaven. He compltmented his hearers
on their representative appearance by
comparing them to the flower garden
which Aunt Why showed Lovey Mary.
AS to science and religion, there
was no conflict, for the author OF
geology was the author of Genesis.
The speaker compared science and re-
nRion to two mighty rivers which were
united, not in angry flood to destroy
but to flow forth with majestic volume
to enrich and bless the world.
Mr.. Morrill, gave full account OF
the mythological story which was the
subject of his address, after which he
proceeded to make q parallel and
practical comparison. Jason started
for the golden fleece and was subjected
to dangers and difficulties by sea and
= land. by men and fearful creatures.
He was aided by good companions in
the persons of the Argonants, the old
: woman and the lovely young Medea.
He secured the golden fleece and re-

I spend his days in peace.
The young graduates were modern
Jasons. The golden fleece they sought

f,oent characteristics. The dangers to
be encountered were not so much the
