Mr.. Parlin told of what the high
school had done for Wausau in the past
fifteen years He said fifteen years ago
it was question as to whether or no
this Institution was beneficial to the
oif w he Af
any such question.
Frank Okoneski, to use his own
words. took reef in the members of
the class of 1905, thinking that in the
midst of all their praises they needed
some one to tell them they were still
human. The class as a whole received
several slaps in joval way but two
individuals Jared worse than the rest.
Stanislaus was reminded that he was a
seat buster and the school would loose
its seat tester, while Alex was told
that his fancy foot ball crouch would
be missed, but most of all his little
write ups about Romeo and Juliet in
the high school notes.
Elsie Dupre, in her farewell made the
seniors relize, for the first time, that
they were leaving school. Della ThayeT
then entertained the assembly with a
very pretty and difficult violin selec.
ton. The response for the class of
1905 was then given by Alex. Craven.
He thanked the Juniors for their kind
ness to the Seniors this year and hoped
that they would receive the same treat
ment from the class next in line.
Walter Curtis gave very witty
speech in response to "A Word for the
Alumni" His final advice to the class
oh f,, ~,
business or love go early, keep close,
and stay late"
Superintendent Karl Mathie, after a
short talk, introduced a decamatory
contest of three declaimers Mr.. w. B.
SchOlfield was called upon to act as
judge and his decision was to be based
upon the applause each contestant re-
ceived. Rose Sullivan, "of Ireland"
the first declaimer, gave an experiment
of Willis in chemistry. Roy BOles,
from Boston" followed with a comic
selection, and Mary Mcneil, "of New
| York." gave a comic sketch. All eyes
were then turned toward Mr.. Schol-
field, who seemed to be in a trance and
had to be called upon twice before he
came out of it sufficient to render a
decision He then said he had been so
carried away by the declarations he
did not hear the applause and wished
to have the contest repeated.
| Mr.. Mathie then presented petition
to the Board of Education, signed by
139 students, petitioning twenty minute
periods on festal days, such as when
there is circus or a base ball game,
and instead of poetry for misconduct,
dancing for good conduct. The petit
ton was referred TO w. w. Albers who
said if the board did not report on it
before next fall it would in a year from
the present date.
From the banquet the guests went
over to the Wausau club house and
"tripped the light fantastic toe" till
twelve o'clock, when they departed,
after one of the most enjoyable even
ings of the season.
