swung open it's doors to the public has
there appeared better looking crowd
or fuller house than was present to
witness the graduating exercises last
Thursday evening. It was a turnout
enough to lend an inspiration to any
speaker, and those interested in the
welfare Of the school were highly appre-
ciative. The stage was tastily decorated
for the occasion with streamers and
fringes of the class colors, maroon and
old gold, and across the top of the cur
tain in front was the class motto
"Virtute non verbis." Potted plants
and flowers had a pretty effect on the
stage settings.
To the march played by Malchow's
Orchestra, the class, and those taking
part in the program, proceeded up both
aisles and took their places in semi
circles on the stage, the class members
in front. The young ladies were
dressed in white and the young gentle
men in black, and knot of the class
flower, the red rose, was worn by each.
The following program was then rem
dered:

Owing to the length of the program
all of the class did not deliver their
orations. The themes were handled
brilliantly, and the manner of their
delivery showed that the class of 1906
was something better than the average
high school class. AS each member
finished, two tiny flower girls-Ardys
Becker and Margaret Sanderson-pre-
sented the presents and flowers carried
to the stage by the ushers. The gifts
were many and the flowers profuse.
Miss Sackrider had the class history,
and as 1t contains something Of per-
sonal nature regarding each member,
we publish it in full:
THE CLASS HISTORY.
The class of 1906 has twelve members,
namely: Hilma Nelson, James Nichols,
Olga;Enger, Lees Boardman, Julia Dahl
beck, Niles Bong, Minnie Walter, Earl
Ramharter, Franklin Bush, Jessie Nit
.chell, David Adams and Maud Sackrider.
We started our career in the high
school three years ago. We had with
us then Floyd Scott, but. in the same
year he moved away to Oregon. Mrs.
Muffle (nee) Josephine Perkins, Minnie
Washner stopped school to stay with
her parents on the farm. Rosa Smith,
went away to another school. Edna
Bryan, is deceased, and Emma Niles,
left us last fall. The years work was
completed last year by the class play
''The Merchant of Venice" But the
more interesting part, is discussing the
history of each individual, which
shall now endeavor to do.
