Last Saturday evening at Mckim

new Masonic hall was in the finest OF
trim for the occasion and nearly hun
dred alumni, teachers, and members
of the school board gathered into the
upper room and enjoyed social hour,
which, to the old students of the Deni-
son high school. is one Of the best OF
the year.
AT nine o'clock the class of 1904
headed the procession to the festive
board in the rooms below where for
two hours the guests enjoyed them
selves with feasting and conversation.
The menu was sumptuous one and
was only equalled by the excellent pro-
gram of toasts which followed. Miss
Elva Bond presided at the intellectual
feast and her sparkling wit and vivac-
ity made her splendid toastmlstress
Greetings to the incoming class were
extended by Mrs. G. L. Voss and were

MEMORIAL SERVICES
The Occasion Celebrated With
Elaborate Ceremonies.
THE S. OF VS.. VISIT DEL0lT
Memorial Sermon Preached at Baptist
Church Sunday Morning. Services
at Cemetery Well Attended.

Last Sunday morning the members of
the Grand Army of the Republic, whose
numbers are fewer as each Memorial Day
rolls around, accompanied by the Women S
Relief Corps and the Sons of Veterans,
marched in a body from the McHenry
hall to the Baptist church, the occasion
being the annual memorial sermon, which
was preached this year by Rev. G. E.
Morphy of the Baptist church. The
decorations were simple but beautiful and
patriotic, and inspired in those who at
tended feelings of reverence and venera-
ton for the old veterans who offered their
lives as sacrifice upon the altar of their
country that the union might be preserved
and that we might have liberty and have
it more abundantly.
Good music was rendered by the choir
and the sermon which followed was both
lnstructing and inspiring. A portion Of
the sixth verse of the fourth chapter of
Joshua was taken as text. "What mean
ye by these stones?" The discourse was
splendid presentation of the reasons for
observing Memorial Day, in which a
touching tribute was paid to the bravery
and patriotism of the soldiers of the Civil
War.
The services were closed by the singing
of America" The usual large number
OF old soldiers and members of the
associated orders attended the services,
which we're enjoyed very much by all Of
them

after which the prayer of the G. A. r. was
read in touching manner by the chap

Memorial address was then read bv
Adjutant John L. Richardson. The ser
vices of the Sons of Veterans were then
held, and after the singing of America by
the entire assemblage, an able address
was given by NJ N Smith, Commander
OF the G. A. r.. The address was an in
spring one, recalling the scenes of that
mighty struggle of the nation for existence
and dwelling on the peace and prosperity
OF the nation as it has developed from the
time of the close of the war
Then followed another selection by the

The War in the East" by Florence
Hutchinson was fine review of the
causes leading up to the present strug-

the PROBABLE effect upon the other ma
tions in the event of the victory of

The class poem by Jenna Strahan
possessed considerable merit as a poem
and was without doubt the best that
has been produced for Denison High
School class in many years.
Two more editorials followed this,
one by Valeria Matthews on "Modern
Education as al Asset, which was an
unanswerable argument as to the value
of "a higher education to those who
wish to rise in the world. The other
by Marie Shaw Van was entitled
'Recent Achievements in Science an
excellent treatise on the magnitude of
the scientific discoveries and inventions
of modern times.

Then followed continued story in
three chapters, written by Miss Marin

taught d helpful lesson.
The class song written by Temple
kirkup was a fine production and was
expressive of the struggles ana the
pleasures OF the students during their
high school life and their regrets upon
leaving it. 1t was set to an inspiring
piece OF music, and the singing of the
class was very pretty.
After the song the diplomas were
presented by N T.. Hunt president of
the board OF education. Before the
audience left the hall, Mr.. Savage took
occasion to thank shem not only for
their presence and their good attention
but also for the support which the pa
