Was packed to the very doors. The walls
we're bedecked with the class colors
the word "05" and the stage

same red and green. Above the stage,
reaching from one side to the other was
the banner bearing the class

DIVERS, with hundreds of the admiring

FRANK P. STEWART.
This young man has the distinction or
being the only male member of the class
IF 'O5. He has attended schools at var
|ous places, whenever and wherever he
could. His school career has been very
much broken into by other duties, how
over this has not discouraged him. Some
lime ago he graduated from the schools
of Ainsworth, Iowa, and not being salts
He'd with the qualifications this brought,
he entered our schools and gained the
goal he sought. His oration, "What
WINS" was full of manly and lofty
thoughts, showing the effects of his
study and preparation. In closing, he
answered the title of his grafton with,
'irst of all, be honest and live a clean
life; second, take advantage of your op-
third, don't be afraid to
work. Then last but not least in i'm
portance, come to Idaho and you can't
help winning"
This was followed by song, "Until
The Dawn" by Quartette composed of
the male members of the double quar-
tette.
