GRADUATES OF 1907
Commencement Exercises
Attended by a LARGE
Number

The commencement exercises, of the
Little Falls high school 1877 gradual.
ing class. we're held at the court house
Friday evening before q large audience
which crowded the COURTROOM and
corridor. The doors were opened at
8 80 and the people fairly swarmed in.
The seating capacity of the courtroom
was soon exhausted and then the
standing capacity was at premium.
It was repetition of last year e ex.
perience in this regard.
The exercises were given as per
program given in our last week q
issue, with the exception of the parts
which Miss Odile Heroux and Miss
Mabelle Berg were to have taken In It,
they being unable to attend on account
of sickness. The Grafton by Miss
Heroux was of course omitted, but
Miss Berg's part in q Piano Duet was
taken by Prof. Clans. Supt. 81. =.
White explained their absence IN a few
words, adding that they would re-.
ceive their diplomas just al though
they were present ct the exercises.
Both the Hamline and the Carleton
college scholarships were awarded to
Miss Heroux.
The program was a very good one.
each OF the numbers had its share in
the applause which was profasely
given through the entire program, in
admiration of the excellent way in
which they were given.
F. W. Lyon presented the diplomas,
which were neatly tied with ribbons
OF the class oolors. on behalf of the
school board, and gave the graduates
some sound advice. In regard to the
packed condition of the court room. he
said 1t was the same old case of trying
to fit a number twelve foot with a
number six shoe and urged that the
business men. especially those of
means, of the city. should get together
and build an opera house go that in
future programs, exercises and enter
tainments of this nature. the people
could all attend these functions a.
they were entitled to. After the
presentation of the diplomas, the
Prayer of THANKSGIVING was sung
by the Cans Chorus and the program
closed with the benediction by Rev.
c. A. Billig.
The class yell was given at the close
Of the program and the customary
clamor OF the other classes then
followed.
The graduating exercises of the
eight grades were held at the court
house hall beginning at 10 O. clock Fri.
day morning. A large number attend
ed, the hall and corridor being packed.
The graduating class this year
numbered sixty three and is so far the
largest class graduated.
The program was we'll received,
each number being very we'll given.
P. A. Taylor, one of the first school
teachers who ever taught In Little
Falls, addressed the class in brief, and
drew some very interesting compar-
isons as to the conditions under which
teachers taught then and at the
present time. Mr.. Taylor's address
was much along patriotic lines and
furnished much food for thought.
The exercises then closed by the
presentation of diplomas ana benedic-
tion.
