THE CLASS OF 1905.
Commencement Exercises Held Tuesday
At ME-. Church.

AT the Methodist church Tuesday
| evening the class of 1905 of the
Great Bend high school passed out
into the world. A fine program OF
vocal and instrumental music was
rendered, and the class address de
ivered by Mrs. Jas. M. Lewis of
Kinsley. The graduating class con-
sisting entirely of girls, it was fit and
, proper that a lady should address
them and no error was made in In.
tviting Mrs. Lewis. All who heard
her pronounce the address one of
the best of the kind ever delivered in
this city, and was full of good thoughts
and advice to be needed not only by
the class but by older heads. The
diplomas were presented by Prof.
Baker. The graduates were, Mary
Una Butler, Esther Vivian Lindsey,
Helen Celia Lobdeil, Maude Lucille
Nimocks, Anna Laura Strobel, Anna
Waters Sutherland, Hazel Esda Marsh,
Alice Pauline Russell, Rosaina Hood,
Velma Dodge, Sarah Olive Swift,
Elsie Phelps Wood, Winifred Alma
Kerr, Minnie Ellen McCorckle and
and Novma Josephine Mering.
Their school work is completed, and
the stern realities if life is before them.
We would like to hear from them as
to "What now"
It may not be cut of place at this
time to call the attention of parents
and their boys, to the scarcity of
boys in our graduating class, they
having grown less each year until
now there are none. This is wrong.
1t is as important if not ,more.so for
the boys to complete their high
school studies as it is for thegirls, and
this dropping off in that respect will
come home to the boys with plenty of
interest if they are not careful. Let
the cigar stands, ball games, bowling
alleys, billiard tables and so forth
alone year or two longer and con-
tinue your studies, that you may not
be ashamed to stand up with your
sisters and say I have as good an ed
ucation as you have. Do not let the
women folks absorb all the learning.
Stay in school and reap the benefits
and reward. Corporations are ask
ing for school graduates, not street
graduates.
