pronounced the benediction. The
graduates then held an informal re-

and many friends pressing forward
to tender congratulations.

Miss Ackerson is an accomplished vo-

rector has few equals. The schools
are fortunate in securing her services
for another year.
The exercises reflected great cred

SO much ability. Here follow the

SALUTATORY.
Ladies and gentlemen: We, the
graduating class, greet you all and
| most heartily welcome you tonight
to the exercises of our own great
| day, the twenty-ninth of May in the
year of our Lord nineteen hundred
aid eight.
We feel that We have now reached
that goal towards which We have been
striving four long, yet seemingly short
years.
! This occasion marks one and per-
haps the greatest step in our course
We must now enter upon the broad
er field of life which lies stretched
before us.
now attained that glory for which We
have been laboring so earnestly. Yet
it is true, this is really the time, 1908
last day of high school life. II
was with a feeling of regret that
we assembled here tonight, for we
knew that the time was almost al
hand when We, as a class, must par'
and go our way. Yet, let us make
it happy parting, the brightest anC
! happiest hour of our high schoo
course. AS We go, let us remember
! that no circumstances can sever those
I ties of friendship here formed
. Other classes have gone before us
aid there shall be others to succeed
us, but 1908 sees just a little differ
ent from all the rest.
! There was nothing this morning tC
announce the dawn of fateful day
! The sun came up and began his jour-
ney as usual. The instructors, whom
We have learned to love and respect
appeared at their accustomed places
in the class rooms, nothing in their
cCuntenances betrayed that the exit
time of their only class was almost
at hand.
We must now go forth into the
open fields of life. We shall return
in after years as alumni and may
then, perhaps, review in thought
those never-to-be-forgotten lessons, sc
dearly acquired n our former class
rooms.
Again, we the class of 1908, do eX-
! tend to you a most cordial welcome
and thank you for the interest shown
/ us on this, the occasion of our grad
uation.
VALEDICTORY.
Kind friends gathered here, in be-
half of the class of 1908, l wish tC
thank you for the interest which you
have shown in us during our school
course. We are now entering on 6
new life, sailing out of the harbol
into the sea as it were, and We rea-
lize that it is through efforts, advice
and self sacrifice that we have, al
last, obtained the triumph which we
have awaited with such joyous ex
pectancy.
Dear parents; your joys tonight are
much akin to our own. 1t was yor
who inspired within us those lofty
/ thoughts and desires with which w
have won the race. Tonight, crown
