The nineteenth annual commence.
ment OF the Denison High School was
held at the Germania opera house Fri.
day evening at eight o'clock, and from
the standpoint of attendance and ex-
cellence of program was one of the
best ever held in the city. The audi
ence was one of the best ever gathered
into the hall, as the small admission
fee naturally kept away all except
those who were really interested in the
exercises, and even then large num-
Der were turned away from the door
on account of lack of room.
The program was opened by an in
vocation by Rev. A. w. Gauger, of the
German Methodist church, after which
the male quartette sang teautiful Sc.
lection entitled when the Winds
Ger the Sea Blow Gale"
The curtain was then dropped to
prepare for the program proper. Rec
ognizing the fact that this is great
literary age and that the modern mag
azine is one of the principal agencies
in promoting literature, the class pre-
sented a living magazine. To do this
large frame was erected to represent
a magazine with large opening in
which the members of the class stood
when delivering their productions.
Before the pure reading matter was
presented, however, the cover page
and advertising matter were shown.
When the curtain went up the audi
ence was greeted with the sight of a
large magazine. The cover page was
in red and was more beautiful than any
ever seen on any of our newsstands,
The title of the picture was "The
Graduate to represent which sweet
girl graduate with flowers. presents
and diploma in her hands stood within
the opening. The curtain went down
on this pretty scene and with hardly a
moments delay it was up again on the
open magazine. On the left hand page
appeared the contents, while on the
right hand page was tull page adver-
tisement OF the Queen Quality shoe
represented by a be autifu young lady
with skirts held up to show nice pair
of new Shoes. The Observation-Disclosures
was that of Bakers Cocoa in which a

"Swift's Little Cook'' was also a fine
reproduction. Little Ethel Petersen,
dressed entirely in white, stood neside
can of lard put up by the famous
packing company and holding a bucket
of it in her hand. The last ADVERTISE

was turned the frontis-piece was re.
vealed. one OF the prettiest illustrations
of the whole magazine. The title of
the picture was "Our Lady In Cardi-
nal" and was posed by young lady
dressed in red and holding in her hand
the flag of the Glass of 1904. This pic
ture represented the whole class as a
body better than any other shown dur
ing the evening.
The Living Magazine" is not all
advertisements as some of the maga-
zines are said to be, for at this point
followed a series of heavy editorials,
poems and Stories which were present
ed by the graduates from the pages of
the Magazine. The first was the The
History and Development of the
Magazine" by Myrtle McAhren. which
was both interesting and instructive,
showing how the natural inclination OF
the Anglo-Saxen race for the literary
attainments has produced the modern
magazine.
'The Promoting of the Panama
Canal by Myrtle Ingrham was fine
exposition of the problems confronting
our country in the building of the
interoceanic canal and of the lasting
benefits to be derived therefrom.
