finished their different courses of
study and have been graduated with
the honors which they deserved; a."
they certainly deserved the hie
The program as given below was al
executed by the different graduates,
and each one can always look back to
the evening as one of the best and
sweetest times of their lives. 1t is
something that happens but once
the end of their school days and their
studies; the parting with their young
schoolmates and their teachers; the
breaking of ties that have bound
them very closely through sunshine
and shadow; the stepping from child
hood into womanhood and manhood
they nave left 1t all behind them,
and have been launched forth to prob
ably encounter trials and tribulations
never before encountered, and yet 1t
was all SO lovely. that last bright
night.
There were flowers and flags about
!. them in the hall; there were anxious
parents and other relatives and
friends watching them with fear,
hope and at last pride showing in
their faces and their hearts beat a
little faster, parhaps, at the know
ledge which they possessed of be-
ing well prepared to do honor to
their teachers, their school, their
parents and themselves. The young
girls were very p~rettily attired in
white, and the boys also made a nice
appearance. ,
Across the stage was their class
motto in gold letters shaded with
aluminium on, a black background. II
was a nice piece of work, done by
WILLIE Sexton. Miss Grace Albaugh
took the lead as the graduates march
ed through the hall to the stage.
Miss Rosie Stems presided at the pr
ano Their and during the remainder
of the evening, and two of the Choir
al Society assisted with the singing.
Miss Ruth James carried a basket
filled with mementos for each mem
Der of the class and as she presented
them she made an Inappropriate speech
~and there was considerable amuse-
ment caused by It. Among the me-
mentos were a bopik, a set of postal
cards, a mouth otgan, a graduating
glass, a football, a bottle of Ponds
Extract, a rule. and a miniature auto
mobile. The Sbuhk lad who received
the latter wwaAiaskeds why he did not
start 1t and let 1t run across the
stage. He Seplied .she couldn't for
the darned thing fad busted"
After Miss James had emptied the
basket, Miss Grace. Albaugh turned
to her and said: You should not be
