Many OrationS Delivered-Fine
Music a Feature,

Last Thursday evening at the
Armory occurred the 9th annual
commencement of the Grangeville
High School. The occasion was
marked by the presentation Of q
decidedly interesting program by
the members of the class of 'O7.
For several months the students
who were to graduate have been
preparing their different orations
and the very able manner in which
the entire program was presented
Thursday night shows that their
efforts were not spent in vain.
The class of 'O7 consisted of IA
students, seven boys and seven
girls. The personnel of the class
is as follows: Misses Essie v.
Fogg, Hazel 7. Toye, Ora E. Vim
cent, Ruth E. Swatman, Amy F..
johnson, Blanche Wasmund and
Ethel G. Bickford, and Messrs.
Frank E. Wood, Claude NJ. Wood
ward, Don G. Fisher, Keith O.
Fem, Alex G. Hinkle, Seneca w.

Paula Hohaus and Lulu Mae Rich
ardson and the.invocatlon by Rev.
+. D. G. Sanderson, Hazel 7. Toye,
the salutatorian of the class, bade
everybody welcome to the 9th
annual commencement exercises.
Miss Toye's address was excep-
tionally pleasing and sounded the
ring of true welcoming spirit.
"The Keys to Success" was the
subject of a very thoughtful and
we'll delivered oration by. Don. G.
Fisher. Mr.. Fisher is one of the
strongest speakers and debaters in
the high school and his effort was
interesting to all. Ora E. Vincent''
essay, "Joan OF Arc" had to bt
omitted on account of Miss Vim
cents illness. She was unable Il
attend the exercises.
Claude M. Woodward, the phi
losopher of the class, chose as {
subject, "The Blood ofa Nation
and propounded several interesting
facts along the line of national ad
vancement and prosperity. Hi
: delivery was good.
One of the most pleasing mum
bers of the entire program was til
piano solo by Lulu Mae Richard
son. The selection was admirabl
played and expressions of appreci
alton. of this accomplished youn.
lady's ability were very numerous
Originality was the predomina
ting feature in the class poem b,
Essie V. Fogg. Her witty remarks
cleverly placed in verse, were re
ceived by the audience with mucl
applause. The selection is worth
of much favorable comment.
