com MENCEMENT EXERC ISES.

Friday evening in the Opera House
the annual class day exercises were
carried out with a very interesting pro
gram The stage was decorated viii
festoons of the class colors, white and
deep red carnation and the front of the
stage was filed with potted plants and
ferns. The class motto "Nulla Crux
Nulla Corona" being suspended in large
gold letters across the stage.
The class chorus gave the first number
''Fairyland Waltz. which was followed
by the invocation by Rev. A. j. Funnel.
"And the Glory of the Lord" was rend-
cred by the class, after which Prof.
Rockwell with few appropriate remarks
introduced the speaker, Hon. p. H Kelley,
of Lansing.
His address had for its chief theme,
Does il Pay" and he opened his dis
course with a flood of that rare Irish wit,
for which he is noted, telling all the
jokes on the Dutch, however, as he said
the Irish have had their day. Mr..
Kelley's address was spiced with wit
and humor, that kept his audience on
the alert to catch the many goods points
made for their benefit
He began by comparing aristocracy
with democracy. stating that our system
of education Is the basis of our govern
ment and its principal mission Is TO dis
solve the oppressive effect of aristocratic
institutions. He laid much emphasis on
work a. a means of happiness, and
only by which success may be obtained.
Educational advantages of the past and
present left no excuse for ignorance
today and besides receiving the benefits
of the pablo schools, he urged the fur
ther development to be gained in the
college.
In closing he called the attention of
the class to their responsibility as future
citizens He said that the nation was
looking to the public schools to produce
honest men and women, whose hands
are not open TO bribes, but who will
remain true TO themselves and thus prove
faithful to their fellowmen
The address was one that surely ought
to be of benefit to all who heard it, and
especially 10 those in whose honor it was
given.
The rest of the program consisted Of
two chorus pieces by the class and the
presentation of diplomas by Supt. Rock
well to John Durham, Malinda Udelle,
Verne Johnson, Nina Ward. Paul
Delavan, Bertha Eyer. and Catherine
Wynne.
After the exercises an informal recep-
ton was given by the Alumni in the
X of p hall, where the members of the
class were congratulated and the
remainder of the evening spent in social
intercourse
