The commencement exercises were
held at the Germania Opera House on
Friday evening, at which time every
seat in the opera house was occupied.
Twas with bright and happy faces
that the pupils of the high school gath
cred and their merry chatter was de-
light to the psssgons and friends of the
sshool.
The stage had been beautifully deco
ated for the occasion; many towering
plants being in evidence.
The class colors, scarlet and white,
were handsomely and artistically dis
played, and Immediately over the stage
was the motto; "Vorwaerts und Aus
waerts."
After some delay caused by defective
electric lighting, the audience was call
ed to order and an invocation was CIV
en- by Rev. Geo. E. Morphy of the Bap-
tist church, after which the program
OF the evening was commenced. The
first on the program was the High
school chorus in the rendition of ''The
Morning Ramble." This vas very en-
Enthusiastically received and brought
forth much applause.
The program of 1908 was very
materially changed from that of
former years, and was a decided i'm
provement. Instead of the long and
in some cases tiresome, orations OF
previous years. each graduate gave an
educational impersonation. taking
different studies as subjects. Miss
Leors Luney, as the Goddess Of
Education was seated upon throne,
and in manner to win applause from
all, announced the differentlsubjects.
The program originated with Super
intendent Savage was entirely origi-
nal. Some three months ago the plan
suggested itself to him and he i'm
mediately put it into execution.
Frames we're made and handsomely
covered, to represent q huge book,
made to open and each graduate came
upon the stage carrying the book and
opening it stepped out to the front of
the stage.
The arrangement was perfectly
carried out and greatly pleased all
present.
1t would be impossible to speak of
=, each individual member, all handled
their different parts splendidly and
each in turn met with much applause.
The young ladies were beautifully
gowned and were the admiration of all:
the young gentlemen manly and re.
fined.
The singining by the chorus and quar-
tette was fine, showing careful prepar-
alton and ability, and largely added to
the evenings entertainments. The fol-
lowing is the program as carried out
