Westminster, May 2S.-Graduating ex
ercises were held In the auditorium on
Tuesday evening, May 20, when four
bright, cultured young ladies reached
the oulmination of their studies in the
Westminster Graded Schools and were
given diplomas. Hon. Alvin II. Dean,
the invited speaker, was present and
took for his theme "Woman's Sphere of
Influence" His remarks we're timely
and scholarly and were listened to with
rapt attention by all. The speaker very
strongly brought out the influence of
woman in the home. He paid the gradu.
ating class high compliment for the
record they had made and the excellent
essays read. He gave the boys some
good advice, insisting on them to never
use whiskey or smoke cigarettes and i'm
pressed upon them that there never was
time when there was greater demand
for young men of character and integrity
than now. After the address Prof. M. e.
Brockman, the superintendent, presented
the diplomas, giving the young ladies
good advice as to the future and the
completion of their education in larger
institutions of learning. Certificates
were conferred by Prof. Brockman as
follows: Misses Alta Daisy Foster, Maude
Simpson, Lucille Zimmerman and Dora
V. Haley. The young graduates are
very popular and received large and
beautiful gifts of flowers as they took
their seats from delivering their essays.
In his closing remarks Prof. Brockman
said that whatever good had been ac-
complished during the term now closing
should not be credited to himself, but to
his co-workers, who had borne with him
the heat and burden of the day. The
assistant teachers during the past year
We're: Miss Katie K. Harris, of Virginia;
