Joe Doyle read an interesting
essay on "Matrimony." While it
was filled with good hul or, never
theless it was also full of good sug-
gestlve advice If properly taken
John Spangler came next on the
program. His class honor was
presentation. John had selected
a very appropriate present for
each member of the class. The
most humorous part of Johns
work was the presentation of u live
cat to one oe the young ladies of
the class because as he said in his
speech that he believed she was
destined to be an old maid
Following presentation, Catha-
rine Comerer gave the valedictori
ans address. In neat speech
she. thanked the board of directors
for surrounding the class with fa-
vorable conditions. She also ex-
pressed gratitude to the Superin-
tendent in these words. "Most
Honored Superintendent: We also
owe much to you who, in your
visits to the school gave us many
valuable points. For these we
thank you, and we appreciate the
interest which you have taken in
us. Our wish is, that you, as Su-
perintendent, may have the op-
portunity to speak words of cheer
to many more graduating classes
IN the McConnellsburg High
School. To the undergraduate
classes we must now say farewell.
We are leaving the old school to
you. May you improve the time
even better than we have improved
ours. To our faithful instructor,
the time has come for us to take
leave of you. We have spent
three happy years under your care
and we feel that we cannot thank
you sufficiently for what you have
done for us. Under your care, we
have received the training which
forms a large part of our equip
ment for life. The present but
family shows, the future alone
can tell how well, how faithfully,
you have labored in our behalf. "
During the evening two vocal
solos which were highly appreciat-
ed by the audience were rendered
by Amos Stouteagle. Mrs. G. B.
Stevens presided at the organ.
The address to the graduates was
then delivered by Prof. Wayne
Bowers. Prof. Bowers made some
very good suggestions to the class.
The presentation of diplomas
came next. This duty devolvec
upon Prof. l.. H. While. In Il
neat little speech Prof. While gave
some excellent advice to the class.
The leading thought was "Dig
deep for knowledge. "
The last thing on the program
was the Glass Ode under the care
of Mrs. G.. w. Reisner.
The program was varied by mu
sic given by the McConnellsbure
Orchestra.
In speaking of the work of the
class, it is perfectly safe to say
that it compares favorably witt
that of any preceding class. W.
as citizens of the McConnellsburs
School District, after seeing tn,
manner in which the High Schoo
graduates acquitted themselves Il
their commencement exercise
should be proud of our institution
of learning and particularly tina
; of the High School. Many of ou
boys and girls will finish their edu
cation in the High School bein:
unable from financial condition
to go to higher institutions o
learning. For this reason parent
; belonging to class of people win
are not able financially to give t
their children an education highe
than that of the High Schoc
Z should be exceedingly anxious t
have the best possible High SchoC
:, equipment.
