UNDER A BELL
Streamers Form Unique Decoration

traordinary Record

The fifth annual graduating exercises
of the Twentieth street school were
held yesterday afternoon, at which the
largest class of graduates of that in
stitution were given diplomas.
The program, which in the opinion
of the 2S0 guests was the best ever
rendered by the graduating students
of the Twentieth street school, was
carried out in the kindergarten room.
The room was tastefully decorated
in the class colors, gold and white.
Streamers from the center of the cell
ing were draped artistically to points
above the blackbord, forming q huge
bell, under which was assembled the
audience.
Besides the streamers, the platform
upon which the twenty-nine graduates
were assembled was attractively fea-
tured with palms and yellow coreopsis,
the latter the class flower.
The class of twenty-nine students
which were graduated yesterday was
the second installment of students of
the class of 1906 to leave the institution.
In February, twenty-three students
were given diplomas making a total
of so, the largest ntmber to leave the
school in one year.
Principals Tribute
graduated yesterday, Prof. Joseph p.
Yoder, principal of the school, said:
''The class that leaves the Twentieth
street school has in the fullest sense of
the word been a model class. A high
average of scholarship has at all times
been maintained. Every individual
student has had the schools interest
as well as his own at heart through
out the year.
I'm all the work that as a whole
the school has undertaken and the
class as an individual has undertaken,
the students of the class of 1906 have
shown the proper spirit.
1T Is seldom that this can be said of
class as a whole or of each indi-
vidual member of the class. Not only
can this be said of the graduates who
leave the school today, but it can be
truthfully stated that not one of the
members of the class of 1906 has been
reprimanded during the entire year.
Not one of the students has been sent
to the office for misconduct during
the past year. For this reason the
teachers and myself take special pride
in this Glass;
