Class Of Twenty students GRADUATE.

her floral gifts, and all the gayeties
attendant upon her launching forth
into the world of men and women.
The boy graduate is not forgotten, but
we admire in him the chivalry which
places self in the background, and the
feminine portion of his class upon a
pedestal that the honOrs may all be
hers.
The exercises proper of graduation
week of the Wauwatosa High School
began Sunday evening with baccalau-
reate sermon preached at the Baptist
church by the Rev c. L. Goldthorp,
who took for his text Prov ?s:2, by a
man of understanding and knowledge
the state thereof Shall be preserved"
his subject being Young People and
the Goth Century Forward Movement"
Mr.. Goldthorp's address to the grad
Mating class was replete with excellent
advice and was an incentive to ambi-
tious manhood and womanhood.
CLAss-DAY EXERCISES.
Perhaps never before has there been
pleasanter class-day than the one
enjoyed by the class of 1905, over 500
friends and relatives attending the
exercises Wednesday afternoon at the
Baptist church. The auditorium was
beautifully decorated with green and
gold, the class colors, palms and flow
ers. The music was furnished by the
High School orchestra under the direc-
tion of Miss Catherine Chamberlin and
the High School Glee club under the
direction of Miss jeanette Smith.
A well delivered address by the class
president, Mr.. Everett Hart, was fol-
lowed by the class history by Miss
Genevieve Martin and Mr. Ray Schoon-
maker. The latter was an entertain
ing innovation, being given in the form
of dialogue.
The class prophecy by Miss Gala
Canright and Mr. Edwin Lefeber was
an interesting exhibition of palm
reading, some amusing futures being
predicted by the erstwhile palmists-
Mr.. Spencer Pease delivered an ener-
getic address to the under graduates,
and then came a piano duet by the
Misses Lillian Bark and Margaret
Durbin.
Three orations, Progress in Trans
portation' by Glenway Gilbert, The
Quest of the North Pole" by Harvey
Myers, and Municipal Ownership" by
Jerre Blodgett, each bore evidence of
thoughtful consideration and careful
reasoning.
A book report" was given by the
Misses Isabelle Everett, Isabel Rlod-
gett, Fay Rogers, Elida Mower and
Gertrude Englehard The characters"
were their High School friends and
companions; the description, that of
their surroundings in school life; the
imagination, style and moral ele-
ment," being clever adaptations of
familiar incidents to their use as parts
of book report.
Miss Edith Bradley had for her topic,
THE Life of Lohengrin," and followed
her essay by several well-rendered
selections from the opera.
The memorial, beautiful picture
representing characters described in
Chaucer in the Canterbury Tales"
was presented by Miss Florence Moore,
and was accepted with few graceful
words of thanks by Lawrie Kurtz.
The most interesting and amusing
time for the class and for their friends,
occurred when the mementos were pre-
sented by Miss Ella Davelaar and Roy
Lillibridge, everything from a piano
to pear tree being found in the col
lection.
Altogether the class are to be con-
graduated upon their presentation of
very interesting program.
