Commencement Exercises.

The high school commencement exer-
cises were held last evening at the opera
house, every bit of available sitting or
standing room being occupied. The
stage was beautifully decorated for the
occasion and the class as seated present

their numerous friends. The eighth
graders TO the number of Al received
their diplomas from the hand of Prof
Ellsworth, while Ezra Smith of the
school board presented the diplomas to
the graduating class. The members of
both classes we're the recipients of
b arty congratulations from their

The annual concert of the School
of Music is always a pleasant surprise
apd the program rendered this year
WAS certainly appreciated bv those
fortunate enough TO secure tickets.
No one could be disappointed when
Miss Alexander. Miss Grace Messenger
and MAYNARD Cook appeared. all on
one program. Miss Amsburv, Miss
Wilson and the "Tecumseh Imortals''
did credit TO themselves and the COL
lege by their usual perfect work.
To those acquainted with Mr..
Lichtenstein praise is useless. and to
those who have not heard him play,
one can only say that his parts were
rendered in a faultless and most pleas
ing manner.
Every Alma student knew that the
Tecumseh Quartet could sing, but
until their work in this concert, we
did not know how well thew could do
with a most difficult mum ber. They
brought the house down TO say the
least. Such expressions as "Phew"
and ''Peachy' were heard throughout
the audience.
Nobody could saw ANYTHING more
about Miss Alexander and Miss Grace
Messenger than that they sang as only
Miss Alexander and Miss Messenger
can.
The Latin Liquor Lyric" rendered
bv Mr.. Maynard Cook plus the Alma
Octette. was no doubt good song but
some careless people left their codes
at home and consequently could not
understand the song. However. all
agreed that the words were all right if
they were as good as the music. -.
OF course these concerts are annual
affairs: but, we can't help wishing
that the name could be changed so
thev would occur at least dozen
times every wear.

various abilities more than anything
else can, and when one has finished
this part of his education he should be
able to tell in what direction his abili.
ties lie.
With this knowledge he can 90

how to do in the best manner possible
that for which he is best fitted, or he
may 20 into the world and learn by ex-
perience.
The former way is, of course, the bet
ter. 1t has become known fact that,
today, the most successful man is the
one with the best education. This is the
age OF specialists. The jack-of-all- l-trades
is not the most successful man. 1t is the
man who knows how TO do one thing
and do that thing well, who makes a
success of life.
The High School paves the way for
the college or university. This is a
very important step, as a good prepa-
ration is absolutely necessary for a
higher education. We of the gradua-
ting class of nineteen-hundred and nine
have been especially fortunate. We
have been able to attend one of the
best High Schools of its size in the
state. The teachers employed have
been excellent. The courses are ex-
tensive and embrace all the subjects
taught in the most modern High
Schools. The advantages of well
equipped laboratories and good lib
rary have been ours and our text books
have been of the latest and best. Not
alone have the equipments and facili-
ties for learning been increased, but
also the building and grounds have
been improved and beautified. that our
stay here might he made more pleas
ant.
For these things we are indebted to
you. the taxpayers of our district, and
for these things we now desire TO ex-
press our verbal thanks. Were this the
only means of expressing our appreci-
alton ii would be but poor compensa-
tion for your expenditure of time and
money. The true expression of our
gratitude will be shown in our future
life. Then we will be using the knowl-
edge we have acquired here. and each
will be able to express his or her own
by the good each will do
in the world.

ian Spinney and published in full else

Miss Walker was followed by Franz
Bahlke, to whom had been assigned
the "Class History" That Franz was
equal to the assignment was amply
proven by the applause given the
speaker. The Senior Girls Sextette
then sang the parody. "Oh. / have

lowed by the class prophecy, presented
by Miss Leontine Messenger, i'm a clear
and torceful manner Miss Messenger

in a way that provoked both laughter

The next on the program was an

The class poem by Miss Barbara

this in turn was followed by "Com-

The week just closing has been busy
one at Alma College. Last week was
largely devoted TO preliminary work
looking forward TO the various exercises
and program incident TO the closing of
the college year. Sunday afternoon at
o'clock Rev. j. Writ Dunning delivered
an able address to the members of the
Y. w. c. A. and Y. NJ. @. A. of the
college who together with their friends
filled the chapel. At 1880 p. III. the
students, members of the graduating
class and their friends filled the audi
torium of the Presbyterian church and
listened to the baccalaureate address by
President Bruske, which is published
in full elsewhere in this paper. Mon
day at 3 p. m. came the annual class
day exercises, which this year took the
form of three ring circus with Miss
Lois Fraker of the class of 1909 as the
one who cracked the whip and intro
duced the performers. This event is
the one of the year when the pupils
assume the liberty of getting even with
the faculty and lucky indeed was the
faculty member who was not roasted
during the two and one half hour enter
tainment. Monday evening at S p. IN.
Rev. A. w. Johnstone of Cadillac de-
livered the address for the members of
the graduating class of the Commercial
department And at IL O'Clock occurred
the midnight banquet of the Alpha
Thata, the young ladies literary society.
The banquet was served in the society
room and Miss Lois Fraker, the retiring
president, acted as toastmistress. That
she was equal to the occasion is the
sentiment of the two score or more who
sat down to the midnight festivities.
Tuesday morning at 10 O'Clock occurred
the graduating exercises of the kinder
garten department and address by
Raymond Robins of Chicago. At two
O'Clock came the graduating recital of
the school of music and at S the annual

Tuesdays exercises like all others of the
week were largely attended and
thoroughly appreciated.
Wednesday morning at 10 o'clock
occurred the graduating exercises of the

the graduating recital of the school of
music. At $3.50 a game of ball was
played on Davis field between the
college team and members of the
college alumni. The 1909 college

QUALIFYING.
BY Marian Spinney.

Happy years we've spent together,
Joining in our sports with zest,
Little thinking we must sever
Soon, our worthiness to test.
Many from old Alma's parted,
And been scattered far and wide.
Bravely to the worlds flood darted
And been lost within its tide.
'Tis the time when friendly faces
Bid farewell our parting class,
Who will fill our vacant places?
To whom will our old books pass?
From the future yet beyond us
Family sounds Turing call
So we listen, each one anxious,
And we answer one and all.
Lowly now, tbs clearly calling
Us unto its witching whirl,
We must rush forth without falling,
Out into the wondrous world
What it holds for us we know not,
Now must part old naughty nine
From the friends and big green school lot
On the banks of river Pine.

The Glass day exercises of the Alma
High School Glass Of 1907 were held
Monday evening at the Opera House.
Long before eight o'clock, the hour for
the program to begin, the house was
crowded with friends Of the class, all
anxious to be present at the final ex-
ercises.
The program was opened with a
piano duet by the Misses Messenger and
Walker, followed by prayer by Rev.
c. l.. Wood. Lovely June" by the
Senior Double Quartette was followed
by the salutatory by Miss Bernice
Walker. Miss Walkers address was
well delivered and held the close at
tention Of the audience. Miss Walker
said:
Another school year is drawing to its
close and again Commencement is here.
In the history of Alma High School it
is the commencement of the Dist class
10 graduate from thai institution, the
exercises of which you are assembled
here tonight as friends of our High
School to witness. Hoping that this
may be a pleasant and memorable oc-
casion TO all, the Class of 1909 bids
you welcome.
Home training in the life of every
person must be supplemented by intel
lectual training before we can intelli-
gently impart our obligations TO our
selves and others. For this purpose
the school was established. One writer
has said, Right education is such a
ical intellectual, and moral capacities
as will enable him To secure the highest
enjoyment from their use here and
hereafter" Certainly i'm no place is
physical, intellectual and moral devel-
opment better obtained than i'm the
High school. Perhaps for none of the
classes graduated yearly from public
institutions is ii more real commence
ment than for those who graduate from
High school. Certainly no field is more
open to Development
The class of 1909 as an active indi-
yidual body will soon be no more. We
have now reached the goal which for
four long, yet seemingly short years we
have worked to attain. As we look back
over the past four years we remem-
ber how as eager Freshmen longing to
be out i'm the busy world for ourselves,
the time seemed so long before we
should be Seniors. As we have watched
three other classes receive their diplo-
mas we have often wondered If we
should ever stand in their places. But
time has flown on rapid wings. Now
with feeling of satisfaction, though
perhaps tinged with regret at the
thoughts of parting. that we come here
tonight, conscious that we have accom-
plished something. 1t will soon be as
Alumni that we visit the scenes so dear
TO us. and as memories come thronging
back recall our own happy school days.
We will see our places filed by Others
but we hope that we may not be for
gotten and that the ties of friendship
here formed may not be severed.
But what II the Class OF 1909 as an
individual body ceases to exist. We
may say that it's members have just
begun to live. These are our Com
mencement days, and may they he our
Commencement in real earnest. We are
now entering broader field where we
may put into practice the sound prin-
ciples learned here. Goethe has said :
