Taking everything into con-
sideration this was probably the
best Commencement exercises
ever held in Challis. After the
exercises ball was given
Each one of the graduating
class was presented with a emb-
lem wreath of flowers.
The two best recitations on
the program were those given
by Pierce Dorgan and William
Stephens, because they have
the best voices in the Glass
loud and distinction public
speaking.
The songs by the school were
excellent, and the time was
also good.
The Glass History by John
Boyd was well written and show
ed remarkable literary genius,
as also did the Valedictory ad-
dress by Thomas Jose; the Glass
Prophecy by Franklin Cameron
and the Essay by John Ander-
son. All were good and well re-
ceived by the large audience.
Minnie McLerran appeared on
the program twice first in a re-
citation and later with a song
both of which were well render
ed.
| Lady May Osborn played the
piano accompaniment for the
four school songs, and also the
song by Miss Fitch, all of which
was loudly applauded.
Everett Baxter did well in his
recitation Over the Dam"
Harriet and Myrtle Walker,
the two sisters of the Glass, each
appeared in well selected recita-
tiens They have good clear
pronunciation and declaimed in
excellent manner.
Isabella Beardsley gave a re
citation entitled The College Oil
Cans" and did Justice to the sell
ection. Her voice was not strong
, but clear and sweet, and she
showed remarkable composure
on the stage.
The choir gave two well rem
dered selections with F. A. Reed
: as pianist.
Isabel Boyd gave the only
i humorist selection on the pro-
5 gram. 1t was a recitation en-
! titled ''St. Peter at the Gate, "
and she recited it a fitting man
ner.
r Miss Bascom, the County Sup
|, erintendent, made a few well
: selected remarks on the condi-
ton of the schools ia Custer
| county. She also pointed out
the necessity of building a High
School in Challis. After her
} address she presented the Glass
J with their diplomas.
Too much praise cannot be
: given the graduating Class of
! Challis for 1906. 1t was was an
event in their lives that they will
i not forget the stepping stone
J from the Common School to the
! High School-in fact the COM
mencement of their education.
and it rests with each individual
i of the Class whether they will
. live nm To their. Glass motto -
