CLOSING PROGRAM
OF PUBLIC SCHOOL


8th grade 10th grade give us room!
Out Of the way; we are alive
We are the class Of 1906!
Parents OF the graduates and friends Of
the school completely filed every inch
OF available space inside the opera house
Monday night to listen to graduating
exercises OF the Hood River public
schools. Many others were turned
away disappointed because they could
not gain admission.
No more successful graduation has
been conducted in this city. Everywhere
have there been heard compliments on
the splendid success of the evenings en-
teItainment, and partiularly the address
of Senator G. W. Fulton, whose talk to
the graduates was replete with sound
advice, which was appreciated by all
who heard him.
Raymond Early, but IL years OF age,
who delivered the salularory for the
grammar grade graduates, did his part
splendidly. The little fellow appeared
perfectly at ease before the audience.
Lenora j. Kelsay, the bright young
woman who was vaIedictorlan Tor the
high school, acquitted herself with un-
usual success for one of her years.
The senator spoke highly of the efforts
of both these students, and paid high
compliment TO those teachers who have
had charge Of the Hood River schools
the past year, That Principal Wiley
and his able assistants well deserve the
pleasing compliment appears to be the
opinion OF every patron and friend OF the
Hood River public schools.
Rev. j. s. Rhoads of the United
Brethren church delivered the invoca-
ton, and was followed by beautifully
rendered baratone solo by Murray Kay.
J. @. Nickelsen and Rev. d, v Polling OF
The Dalles, who also rendered solos,
were warmly received.
County Superintendent J. I, Netf pre-
sented the diplomas to the high school
graduates, and w. j. Baker, chairman
of the board OF directors gave the gram
mar grade graduates their diplomas.
The platform was banked with beauti-
full cutfowers and palms, while over
head was the class motto; "Only the
Darkness Brings out the Stars" Large
American flags filled up the hack ground
of the stage, The whole effect was very
pretty. The only regret OF many In the
audience was the seating of the members
of the board and other dlgnitaries so as
to obscure a view of the pretty dresses
and sweet faces of the girl graduates, and
handsome Young men,
The class colors were everywhere in
evidence--eighth grade: Pink and
green; High School Olive and Cardinal.
The ushers were lila Rood, Cora Peugh,
Stella Parsons, Leita Hershner Bertha
Lafferty.
