In accordance with resolution of
the boaed, passed year ago, the gradu-
ating class was not permitted to render
program The comforting of diplomas
was therefore made a feature of the
alumni exercises. This denial was
sore disappointment to the graduates
who felt, and justly so, that they were
capable of presenting as good an enter
tainment as any class that has preceded
them. 1t also made it impracticable to
invitesthe general public as heretofore
Following is the program presented
by members of the Alumni association:

The various participants could not be
drilled as heretofore because they were
teaching or otherwise engaged too far
away The debaters had not even the
opportunity of consultation in reference
to Retrospective parts. Nevertheless
the program was we'll rendered and
was interesting
The affirmative in the debate main
tanned that student government is bene-
fetal. because
/. 1t promotes self control on the
part of the student.
2. 1t relieves the teachers of many
disagreeable duties.
5. 1t is in harmony with our demo-
cratic ideas.
A. 1t makes the student sensitive to
public opinion.
The negative argued that it is not
beneficial, because
l. It lessons the students respect for
authority.
9 1t requires too elaborate machin-
cry.
5. 1t puts too much emphasis upon
discipline.
4. 1t promotes jealousies among
students.
Each speaker discussed single point
in the order mentioned, and the presen
tation was vigorous, logical and in
structive. 1t was especially interesting
as showing what they can do without
immediate and careful supervision of
the faculty.
Probably the most taking feature of
the program was the defamation by
Miss Della Marsh.
Mr. Lamont spoke impressively of the
problems that confront the teachers of
the county, emphasizing particularly
the necessity of inducing pupils OF
maturer years to enter or remain in the
schools. He said that of the 5 800 pupils
enrolled in the schools of Marathon
county only 800 were over thirteen
years of age.
The undergraduate brigade, under
the efficient direction of Mr.. Robert
Larner, served the refreshments
promptly and well.
Dancing was the chief feature from
10 O'Clock to 30 when the exercises
terminated, the universal opinion being
that it had been most successful and
enjoyable occasion.
The school has just closed one of the
most satisfactory years in its history
and is looking hopefully to the future.
Already inquiries and applications for
the coming year are being received and
the promise of large attendance seems
assured.
