Commencement at Belle Fourchc.

The third annual commencement
OF the High school at Belle Fourche
took place last Monday evening at
tnc Pearson opera house. The room
was draped in the class colors, pur-
pie and gold and the stage was made
very attractive by the punches of
palms and flowers. Bunches of
white carnations, the class flower,
were conspicuous and beautiful.
On the stage were grouped the
two graduates, number of other
High school students, D. j. Arnold,
president of the board of education,
n. p. Lang, superintendent of the
city schools, Professor Mooney of
the Spearfish Normal, number of
ladies and gentlemen who assisted
in the musical program, and Rev
D. j. Perrin, who opened the exer-
cises of the evening with prayer.
The program opened with musi-
cal number by the High School
chorus, which was followed by nj
ano solo by Miss Maize Moody, both
being highly enjoyable The ora
tions of the two young ladies, Miss
Ella Orem and Miss Hazel Lancaster,
were delivered in pleasing manner,
the former handling her theme, Lit
erary Genius and the latter "Har-
Oopys' with distinctness of speech
and excellence of preparation.
