At the Presbyterian church the bacca-
laureate sermon was preached by Rev.
Ami B. Hyde, Of the University of Drn-
yer, last Sunday evening, and thus was
opened the week Of school exercises
which made bsfitting close of a success
fuI year.
On Monday evening in the gymnasium
the annual class day exercises took place.
and the room was all too small TO accom-
modase the large number who clamored
for admission. The class of 1905, con-
sisting of Beatrice Rule, Maud Beunie,
Eva Cameron, Florence Bunt, Fannie
Gilmore, Helena ORourke. Julia Reed
and May Krout. had full charge of the
exercises. and the different numbers were
of exceptional merit and most exeellently
rendered. To individaalize each mum Der
and review at length the performance
would become great task suffice 1t 10 say
that there were no weak points in the
evenings entertainment. This class OF
eight girls has established an envisble
record for thorouehness in their school
work and reflect great credit upon the
school system Of this city.
Tuesday evening in the gymnasium
fully as large a crowd greeted the exer-
cis~s given by the pupils of the eighth
grade, who pass into their senior year at
the opening Of school in the fall. The
merit of this entertainment VAS fully
equal to the efferts Of the seniors on the
night previous, and the individual parSici-
pants gave unmistakable evidence of be-
ing fully able to sustain the reputation
Of their predecessors. A, the close of the
graduation exercises, ROYAL r. Graham,

Each and every participant acquitted
herself with credit. the whole making up
mos, enjoyable presentation Of de-
lightful drama. The high school orches
ira and . trained chorus. together with
several speciaities contributed materially
to the success Of the program. The enter
tainment was in the hands OF Professor
Potter, aided by Prof. Neupert and Miss
Weaver, all Of whom have worked several
weeks untiringly to accomplish the prop
er presentation. 1t is seldom if ever that
amateurs have scored the success as have
these young people, and they are cer-
tainly entitled to great praise and credit
for the admirable manner in which they
acquitted themselves.
The events of the busy school week
eliminated in the commencement exer-
cises in the opera house Thursday even
ing, and agsin the house was taxed to It's
utmost capacity to accommodate the
patrons who desired to witness the clos
ing exercises. The high school orchestra
sustained its we'll earned enviable repu
tatiou in the rendition of the overture
"Zends, /" by Witmark, and the applause
which greeted them was spontaneous and
well deserved. and they were repeatedly
encored. After the invocation by Rev.
O. L. Orton, Oscar Anderson, in his usual
excellent manner played q violin solo,

to the prolonged applause rendered .

rare muaical ability, and certainly has .
brilliant futnre before him.
