the school world Of Bismarck occurred
last evening at the Atheneum when
the class Of 1906 held it's graduating
exercises. The hall was packed to
1.-THE doors Notwithstanding the in
clement weather.
At $3.50 the class marched to their
places on the platform amid the ap-
plause of the audience It seemed
very refreshing to see so many young
men on the stage. It is unusual for
classes to be SO evenly divided as to
sex.
The full chorus then sang Might"
by Bossini. The Rev. F. W. Stanton
offered the invocation after which the
| high school glee club rendered Morn
ing Is Nigh" by Strauss.
| The salutatory address was then
delivered by Miss Josephine Boom,
who attained second rank in her class.
Her manner was simple and pleasing
and her voice, though not strong, was
clear and easily heard in all parts Of
the hall. The glee club rendered 20
Swallow, Happy Swallow" by Kuch-
en-. Professor Squires Of the uni
versity, was introduced and he de-
Hvered one of the best addresses ever
| made in Bismarck. He is a speaker
of force and his language was scholar
ly and eloquent. The entire audience
was Instructed as well as entertained
by him. He was enthusiastically ap-
plauded. When he closed the glee
club rendered the Legend of the
Bells" by Planquette,' after which
Harold Winchester, who received first
honors in the class, delivered the
valedictory address. He is consid-
cradle of an orator, as we'll as student,
and his remarks we're delivered in a
style and manner that one does not
often see on the platform. He GER
:: tainly is to be congratulated on his
effort of last evening.
The chorus then sang vogel's
waltz, by Merz, after which Super
intendent Moore presented the diplo-
mas. The class then sang "Auld Lang
i Syne." The audience was dismissed
with benediction by Rev. F. W.
Stanton, after which the friends of
the graduates showered them with
congratulations. The entire program
! was delightfully."- enjoyable from be-
ginning to end and presented without
a hitch. The Tribune wishes especial
lily to commend the musical part of
the program. The music was difficult
and Of high class and was rendered
with ease by the large chorus. The
audience enjoyed it thoroughly. The
Legend of the Bells and Vogel's
waltz were as finely rendered by these
pupils as could be done by any similar
body. Miss Bartholomew and the
pupils themselves are to be congratu-
lated on their singing work of last
night. It was revelation of what
good training can do with children's
voices. The people of Bismarck are
also to be congratulated on having
schools that turn out classes such as
that of last evening. The board of
education and the teachers are also to
be commended for their share of the
work. The junior class had the motto
of the graduating class very prettily
4 worked out in the class colors and had
ornamented the stage with plants.
The 1906 graduation exercises have
set pace that will be hard to beat
