New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1905-06-14

From here she carried the thoughts of
her audience from one state to another
| from the Pacific to the Atlantic coast.
! Wherever she perchance stopped she
was compelled to make note of another
result of her work as a writer of the
triumphs of recent celebrities. Many
bright futures were sketched for the
class of 1905. Her classmates found
themselves launched into various
vocations some writer's of literature
and others as actor and actresses. Her
final words were that she returned
home happy to live in their reflected
glory while they lived in daily enjoy
ment of fame and renown.
Following this the valedictorian,
Miss Mabel Remind was greeted as
she appeared in front of her class
mates. Her subject was the Class Poem
with valedictory. The thoughts of the
poem were taken from the words of
their motto 'sOut of the Harbor Into
the Sea- Miss Remind has been
prominently known as the poetess Of
the class of 1905 but when she appear
ed with this poem it came as surprise
to every one. It was one that was dis
tinguished by close thought and care
full diction and was listened to with
pleasure by the audience. She pictured
the quiet and peaceful harbor in which
an anchored ship lay awaiting the ar
rival OF her sixteen classmates of their
departure into life's stormy sea and
the clamours of strife which they must
overcome. Her valedictory in part
was, "Our school days now are over
and out into the busy world we go.
Before we part we wish to say to you
members of the New Ulm Board of
Education that we heartily thank you
for the privileges granted US mid
pleasant environments. And you Supt.
Critchett who have been so largely in
strumental in melting us on to noble
effort. You our teachers who have so
kindly and faithfully guided US through
our school days neither time nor dis
lance can cause us to forget. We
thank you Juniors for your kindness
to us during the past years, for the de-
lightful reception and for your kindly
assistance in decorating the hall for
this occasion. Dear classmates with
whom we have spent so many days of
happy companionship, may each of
you lead life worthy of the days now
spent. And may your final reward
meet your highest expectations. And
now we must bid to all fondfarewell. u
At the conclusion of this the chorus
rendered the class song which was
written by the valedictorian.
/ W. S. Hammond of St. James, the
orator Of the evening, was in very
happy frame of mind, and he entered
upon his discourse with spirit, taking
as text the story Of David an(
Goliath, and drawing conclusions from
the refusal of David to wear an armol
that ill-titted him and one with which
he was not familiar, and fighting his
battle with the equipment which he haC
tried and had found servicable.
The whole discourse was filled with
a high degree of thought and was
listened to by the entire audience with
deep interest which kept up until the
close. Mr.. Hammond is a forcefu
speaker and very active on the plat
form and the energy he puts into his
words is one of the attractive thing:
about his appearance-hee nthuses al
audience and holds it. This is thu
third time Mr.. Hammond has beer
here and each time he has not failed tt
leave a good impression.
He presented the class with it:
diplomas at the conclusion of his ad
dress and his words to the class were
as good as was his address. He gave
: them advice that was rich in wisdom
and full of practical application, i
they elect to use it in their lives
Having completed the address Mr.
Hammond retired from the stage an(
the orchestra played the closing mum
Der on the program before the class o
'O5 was permitted to receive the con
gratulations that awaited it from thu
admiring friends and relatives who
were present.
1t may be said that there was ON
feature of the exercises that is worth,
of comment and that all classes in tn
: future may we'll pattern after and tina
is the speakers could all be heard
There was no difficulty in hearing an,
of them even in the remotest part O
2 the building and Turner theatre is n,
r small place in which to speak.
