COMMENCEMENT EXERCISES
AT THE LINCOLN PARK
SCHOOL LAST NI6HT

In spite of the storm the Lincoln
Park school house was filled by the
friends of the eighth grade graduates
of 1909. The best of 1t was that all
felt themselves repaid for the effort
required to attend. The class render
ed a program that was high grade
both in character and performance,
Nearly half score of them require
special mention. II any such course
should be risked. the list should pos
sibly begin with the name of Rosa
James and should certainly contain
that of Maude Barnes. Ida Barnes,
Elsie Scarce, Bessie Chase. Mildred
Kittell, Paul Black and Mark Entorf
1t has been several years since Lin
coin Park has had chance to know
how good a program its schools can
provide and last nights experience
shows that in spite of its limitation
to the grades, it still shows powers
that are highly creditable even when
compared with higher schools.
The invocation was by the Rev. S.
Il
furnished by the South Canon high
school orchestra. One of the class
features of the program was class
song that pleased. Another was the
class prophecy, by Mildred Kittle, in
which she showed that it is possible
to construct a prophecy so that it
will be interesting to the audience as
well as to those whose fate is settled
CD by it.
The graduates are: Ida Barnes,
Paul Black. Philip Bloxhem, Della
Davis, Mark Entorf. Mary Mayworth,
Eddy Irwin, Rosa James, Mildred
Kittell, Louis Litz, Elsie Scarce,
Bernice Smith, Cecil Smith, Emmett
Sullivan, Bessie Chase. and Forest
Hodgins, class that will unques-
tionably contribute materially to the
success of the high school class of
1910.
