second program. Mayor Boyd gave a
brief address, in which he referred to
the evident welcome to all visitors,
and followed it with a strong talk on |
education. The response by Prof. }
s. Lauders, superintendent of the
Pendleton schools, should have been
heard by everyone in the county. He
predicted a great future for the new
high schooi and said it was situated in
ideal surroundings. He urged that
the school be strongly supported finan-
cially, for the present 20 students are
entitled to just as good an education
as If they were 20 of 100 enrolled.
The musical program was splendid
and every performer was recalled at
least once. 1t consisted of songs by
sextet of ladies, violin solos by f. B.
Wheat, trombone solos by G.. +. Vest,
readings by Miss Name Heaton, and
vocal solos 10y Mrs. Olive Lockwood.
