CLASS PLAYS.
The healthy, helpful school spirit
which has grown steadily in this
community for the last several years
was manifested in a very marked de-
gree in the exercises attending the
graduation of the class of 1906 from
the Mineral Point high school.
The baccalaureate sermon was
preached on Sunday, June 3, at the
Primitive Methodist church by w. j.
G. Bond, and the large aditorium was
filled by representative and appre-
ciative audience who listened with in
terest to an able and inspiring address.
The class plays by the seniors, at
the city hall on Wednesday and
Thursday evenings, and again repeat
ed on Monday evening of this week
were remarkably successful. Three
plays namely: Mrs. Bushy's Pink Tea,
The Straw Man, and Charley's Aunt,
were produced to the delight of large
audiences.
Their rendition showed good histri-
once ability on the part of the gradu-
ates, who were we'll trained by Miss
Eta M. w. Jones, the first assistant

The address of President A. Sails |
bury of Whitewater normal school was
a scholarly one. His subject was
1.-THE Value of a Man" He said that
the worth of man should not be |
rated by his financial standing but by
the amount of good he does in the
world. He said that the greatest evil
of the age is self indulgence. He ad-
mouished the members of the gradua-
ting class as we'll as all others to lead
good, wholesome, unselish lives. He
advised every boy and girl to secure
good education, which is no longer the
privilege of few, but a free gift to
all. Parents can make no better in
vestiment for their children than to
abtain for them a good education.
He spoke of the mission of the teacher
as sacred one, and said that the aim
of the teacher should be to develop
true manhood and true womanhood in
their pupils, that they might have life
and have it more abundantly.
