The secret scroll OF the fates TO reveal

And the prophecy the great God told TO me
Inspired by him I'll tell to thee.

CLASS OF 1905.
Diplomas Given Last Evening Show
Completion of High School
Work.

The beautiful auditorium of the First
Baptist church was last evening the
scene of one of the most happy events
Of the year-the graduating exercises of
the Owosso High School. Plants and
the stars and stripes were the only dec
orations used, but the happy faces and
beautiful dresses made elaborate trim
ming of the church unnecessary.
The class consisted of 81 members
there never having been another
with as many, and no other class with
such large percentage of young men,
%. The audience having been seated
by the Juniors and the hour having ar
rived, Miss Peterson rendered the organ
voluntary, "Triumphal March, and the
class marched in and took seats on the
platform, Supt. of Public ms ruction
Kelly and City Superintendent Simmons
preceding them. The Normal grad
uates had previously taken seats in
front pew of the church. Under Miss
Lyons direction the High School choir
rendered wind and Sea" in a perfect
manner Rev. &. II. Hanks was called
on for the invocation and sixteen young
ladies rendered '"The Piper" and I'm
Our Boat" two difficult selections but
which showed the result of most excel
lent training, the singing, including
solos, duets, quartets and the chorus.
Fay Simpson, editor of ''Spic," was
the first graduate called upon and his
oration was credit to him and to the
class. The subject was difficult one,
THE Question of Blood and Iron," but
was handled as though given much
study and thorough understanding of
the world conditions of today. Every
one applauded great deeds and the won
derful achievements of wars, but under
meath is demand that war be done
away with, a demand that is becoming
mighty, not because of cost alone, not
simply because it keeps the people
ground down by the tax paying, but
that the services of men are needed in
other work, the grand work of chris
tianity, the teaching of liberty and
right living. Arbitration must come
and even in that most despotic of gov
ernments-Russia-a spirit of liberty
was being born. The greatest surprise
was opposition in the U. s. Senate and
it is disgrace that will sweep those in
control out unless the everlasting desire
for peace and an international board of
arbitration is given aid and encourage
ment.
Hattie Detwiler, in short essay, re-
viewed the early history of this great

TO THE GRADUATES.
Rev. leonards Fine BaccaIaureate
Address.

Taking as his subject, "The Charac-
ter and Crown of the True Life" Rev.
A. B. Leonard gave an exceedingly
interesting and scholarly discourse at
the First NJ. E. church Sunday evening
the church being filled with an audi
ence which gave close attention and
fully appreciated the able effort by Mr..
Leonard, as well as the fine music rend-
cred by a chorus of sixty voices. The
address was prepared for the 1905 grad
yates of the High school but was very
helpful to the hundreds of others present
Mr.. Leonard said many questions arise
in every life and they give life serious
characterize uncertainty, the brevity
but it was better to learn to live right
ly and not to worry as to the length of
life. The graduates were in just the
best condition to learn to live rightly
the formative period, and by little
care can settle matters that will effect
the balance of life to a wonderful degree
and more easily than at later period.
He urged christian life as the best,
and that the young men seek good
companions, and the young ladies to
shun the company of young man with
slanderous tongue or bad habits and
the young man the company of a young
lady whose time and best efforts were
as to her clothes rather than her knowl-
edge of good and her ability to benefit
the world in general.
He believed a careful study by such
as he had before him of the financial,
social, political and laboring questions
would result in vast good and save
much of the discomfort of some classes
and prevent the arrogance of many.

government and therefore there would
be constant tendency to graft, to social
ism, and the utilities would be govern
ed by boards that would favor one part
Of the city to the detriment of other
parts, making taxation unequal and
that large prices would be paid for sup
plies, members being paid for such pur-
chases, by presents; some citizens would
be deprived of their rights and failure
financially would result by trying to
sell too cheaply to make a record and
the city would be loser and trouble
would constantly result.
A "Galleic Lullaby" by the choir was
well rendered and applauded
Nellie Allison gave the only recita-
tion of the evening and her effort show
ed that this kind of training has been
well looked after. Her subject, THE
Legends of Bregenz," is one of those
that the interest and enthusiasm in
creases as the person rendering it brings
out the eliminating points and Miss
Allison thoroughly appreciated these
points and impressed them on the au-
dience.
Rollin Morgan's grafton on Demo
cratic Scholarship" was most excellent
ly delivered, his gestures being perfect
ly natural and emphasizing the ideas
which he brought out in rfect Eng
lish. His plea was for more public SER
vice by great scholars that they give
their time to those in need and not
form an aristocracy of learning; that
they so work among the people that
every man in America shall become a
student; that by this general education
a demand for more intelligent states
men be created that the nation become
greater and more influential because of
the help given each other and because

Supt. Simmons then presented the di-
plomas, considering it an honor as well
as a pleasure, especially TO 50 large a
class and one with so many young men,
the diploma mean nothing unless there
be a real young man or woman with
character to receive it and determina-
tion to succeed, noble manhood or
womanhood behind the outward ap
pearance.

state, telling of the work of the Indians,
French, English, and their quarrels and
wars, of the good they accomplished of
the injury they did showing their man
ner of living, the hardships endured,
and then of the wonderful progress to
its present leading position under the
stars and stripes. Miss Detwiler had
condensed large amount of history in
her review and made it most interest
ing to her listeners.
Joseph Mcintosh was excused from
delivering his Grafton on THE Progress
of Invention" on account of sickness in
the family. A pleasing musical mum
ber The Pigtail, was rendered by the
choir, it being one that gave additional
opportunity for showing the thorough
ness of the work of the department of
music.
Nellie Connor covered the practical
and theoretical sides in her essay,
Through Deep Water for Pearl
Her descriptions of the suits, boats and
apparatus used by the divers; the de-
scription of the shells, sponges and
pearls in their various conditions, were
highly interesting; the location of the
pearl grounds, the manner of going
down and coming up; the dangers fro m
sharks and poisonous fish and reptiles
were told of and comparisons made
with the work of these divers and the
duty and work Of everyone in seeking
the pearls of life, education, service of
various kinds, kindness, good nature
and christianity.

"Spio."

The second edition of the Owosso
High School Senior class publication,
"Spic," has been completed by THE
TINES job department. this week and
is being sent by the class to friends and
sold to those interested in the school.
1t is an exceedingly interesting publ
cation and will take rank with the best
High School publications ever issued in
the state. Every member of the class
has taken an interest in the success of
the issue and an unlimited amount of
time has been given to the work by the
"Spic Board" The publication consists
of one hundred pages of cuts of mem
bers of the various classes, base ball and
foot ball teams, school board, faculty,
Superintendent Simmons, to whom
very appropriately the volume is dedi-
Gated, and some excellent drawings by
the artists Of the ''Spic Board" and a
high grade of literary matter covering
a history of the class of 1905 and class

umn of this issue, number Of transla-
tions from different languages by class

scintillatipg intellects into the world
Behold, we have entered Listen to
our pedigree. Our class spirit was
made manifest very early. when after
the first month in the High school a
class meeting was. called. and officers
elected colors and a motto chosen.
Later in the year a party was given
with great success and credit to the
class, establishing firm social standing
for us from the beginning.
We have always taken a prominent
part in High School politics During
our Freshman year the offices of vice
president and treasurer of the Athletic
Association were held by members OF
the class, and from this year on the
naughty fives were acknowledged
worthy rivals by other class men.
At the beginning of the Sophomore
year our class was more firmly organ
lied, and it was during this period that
our daring spirit was plainly displayed.

sun rose over the eastern horizon its
rays fell upon gorgeous red and black

The discussion was necessarily short.
the affirmative being contended for on
six grounds-that no profit was to be
made when railways water works, etc,
were run by the city or nation; that
there could be no monopoly and there
fore no graft; that better wages could
be paid laborers; that private monopo-
lies would be done away with and the
citys credit made more firm. He cited
the city water works as a sample of the
benefits of city ownership, showing
that no strikes occur no corruption ex
listed; the city was never deprived of
the necessities by trouble with a private
company.
The negative was contended for be-
cause there could not be an ideal city

which waved triumphantly over the
heads of other class men, while upon all
the walks of the town these same glor-
ious letters were plainly traced in red
and black, and to this day they can be
seen on the stone steps and diagonal
walk of the school building.
We had no more than settled ourselves
in our Junior year, than trouble arose
among the classes. The Amphictyon
Society, to which the Seniors, Juniors
and Sophomores were eligible, was or
ganized. A campaign was straightway
begun by the Senior and Junior classes.
Meetings were held and each class pre-
pared a ticket. There was a lively
struggle for few days each faction
working as if its future existence de-
pended upon the outcome. During the

The merchants, professional men and
others have taken more than the uhual
amount of interest in the publication
and by their advertising patronage
have made it possible to secure the
cuts, and to use very fine quality of
paper, ink, ETC., and thus make the book
one that IL of interest to everybody in
the city and credit to the class and to
the board of editors and publishers.

campaign some energetic tho misled
Sophomores printed number of
pamphlets setting forth the magnificent
qualities of the Senior ticket and the
great advantage to be gained by the
Sophomore class if this ticket was cleo
ted. At length the day of election came,
when on account of the combined forces
of the Senior and Sophomore classes, we
were defeated by very small major
ity. We mention this defeat merely to
prove that we are not wholly boastful.
The following months were uneventful
until June, which witnessed the recep-
tion given by the Juniors to the Seniors
the most enjoyable event in the his
tory of our class.
Our Senior year has in many ways
been the best year of all. In it we have
come to haye better appreciation of
the friendships which have been formed
during the past four years. We have
worked together sharing each others
joys and sorrows, and as the end of our
High School course is net far off, we
are already beginning to look back
with pleasure upon the many happy
DAYS spent in the High School.
