THE COMMENCEMENT TONIGHT.

Glass day, the most interesting event
in the closing of the seniors high
school life, was held yesterday after
noon in the auditorium. The large
assembly hall was decorated with the
regular hangings of red and yellow
trimmed with chrysanthemums of the
same color. Across the back of the
stage was the seniors motto, ''On, On,
Sail On,'' and large representation
of the class pin. Upon the stage was
a large bouquet of red and white car
nations, which we're sent by Mrs. Will
liam Fl. Mccormick, in memory of
her daughter Grace. who was mem
ber of the class.
The program opened with a march
played by Miss Bessie Booz, to which
the graduating class entered, two by
two, singing the class song, and took
their places on the platform.
The platform was rigged up as u
ship. The class represents the crew
who have sailed gloriously into the
harbor of success after perilous four
years voyage.
Wilbur LaRoe made an address OF
welcome, which abounded in witty
sayings and which brought forth a
hearty applause.
The log, which gave an interesting
description of the voyage OF the seniors
vessel from the time it started out one
bright September day, four years ago,
until it finally reached the harbor of
success, was given by Catherine Bren-
nan and Eleanor Martin
The statistics of the crew was given
by Harriet Mead. The poem of the
crew was given by Clarence Salter in
a manner which made the auditorium
ring with laughter.
Hans Hanson gave an oration en-
titled ''Privileges, " of which the pri-
vilege of voting was regarded as the
highest.
Beth Watson and Elsie Mercer, as
officers on deck, looked through spy
glass and predicted the future of each
member of the class. There was lots
of good -natured raillery and every
body enjoyed the joke on everybody
else. AS each member of the class
received their prediction they walked
across the stage carrying out their
future vocation. The auditorium rang
with laughter from the beginning to
the end of prophecy.
