Commencement Exercises OF Hood
River High School of
High Order.


opera house last Wednesday showed
the large audience that the City of
Apples was also city of singers and
musicians. Every time the pupils Of
the high school gave concert its sue
cess beforehand can he assured, for
the talent in Hood River is just lit
tie bit ahead of any other place
The first number on the program,
"Estudiantina," sung by fifteen OF
the preltiest aud sweetest singers in
Hood River, was we'll enjoyed aud
the girls were encored and responded
very gracefully by singing charming
little love song.
Victor Nutley is certainly taking
the right steps in advancing in music.
His composition CT his own writing
was one which required great skill to
compose, besides the skill it took to
execute 1t properly. Victors tech
nique is perfect aud his time excel
lent.
The next number, recitation by
NJ iss Helen Orr, was we'll rendered.
Helen is girl of great ability and
one OF her many talents is that Of
elocution.
Next came a mimic game of foot
ball, the team coming out on the
stage and going through the various
evolutions Of the game as though in
actual play, and was very amusing.
The game of baseball, however, was
much more realistic and very funny.
The mimic game seemed so real that
you could Blmost Zee the imaginary
ball as it passed around the diamond,
while the contortions of the pitcher
wele quite in form. AT the end of
the games the class yells we're given
with vigor, and it was no deaf and
dumb affair, either.
The fifth number, violin solo play
ed very beautifully by Leila Radford,
simply char med the music lovers in
the audience by her exquisite render
ing of that old dear piece, "Hone,
Sweet Home"
In the next number Miss Alberta
jackson showed Hood River again
that her voice had not lost any of its
sweetness by the work of the examin-
ations. Miss Alberta's tame as a
singer is already made for her and
each time her ndmo is on the program
the audience ccngi atulates itself
Estee Brosius has the happy faculiy y
of singing in such pleasing manner
that few boys can. His Interpretation
of his song showed great study and
could only have been made by good
voice.
Florence Hanna sang very pretti,y
"The Birds go North Again" for the
tenth number of the program.
Miss Ada Marks recitation Of
"Lsgar" was we'll appreciated ty the
tragic loving people IN the audience.
Miss Mark has a pleasing voice and
has it IN we'll training.
The debate entitled, Resolved,
That all Bachelors Should be Taxed, ="
was prefaced by few remarks by
Prof. Coad, who sppcinted as judges
Dr.. A. Ii. Lathror, E. II. Hartwig
and A d. Moe LELAND Beveriuge
had the affirmative und Burleigh Gosh
the negative. A surprise was in store,
however. Leland Beveridge led off
with spirited argument apparently,
but used only the letters of the alpha
bet to maintain 1t. His opponent
used numerals as his figure of speech.
The tone of voice, gestures, etc., OF
tho debaters wert quite In form and
afforded much amusement to the au-
dence. The judges retired to make
their decision, but we're unable to
agree and voted to call 1t tie.
The last number OF the program was
dainty little song by the Girls Glee
Club entitled, "The Dance of the
Fairies" sung very charmingly, and
sent the people home happy.
