This is the largest class that has

and the largest crowd was present
that has assembled in the opera
house this season. The crowd gave
evidence to the fact that the people
of the city are interested in the work
ings of the school and especially the
eighth grade. In the grades the
student is grounded in the rudiments
of education and often receives the
only education with which he is COM
PEELED to go through life. The
eight grades prepare student for
the average vocations of life and
many of our our most successful and
distinguished men have known only the
advantages of the common branches
as taught in the grades.
Rev. P. Monroe Smock delivered
the address of the evening. His re-

6rely new in various sections. this
together with the new music and alb
solute lack of practice for over year
means a great deal of work for the
member.
The people of the city are taking a
great deal of interest in the new or
ganization. 1t is this spirit of en-
couragement that helps to hold the
boys together and make good band
more than any other one thing.
Mountain Home should have a band
and good one. The material is
here and with the hard work neces-
!, sary satisfactory results will come.
This year seems to be band year
in Southern Idaho. Organizations
have been perfected in Glenns Ferry,
Nampa. Weiser, Payette Caldwell,
Gooding and number of other towns
in this section. A band is goot
advertisement and Mountain Home
will no doubt do her share.

Death is always sad. But, more
especially, when life is still young
and the future is filled with hope and
promise and happiness. The sad
news early this morning of the death
of Mrs. H. E. Reckmeyer filled the
whole community with gloom and
sadness. Only yesterday, it was
generally considered, she was in
good health and nearly recovered
from her illness of two weeks ago
when her baby boy was born. The
news was a shock to everyone for
Mrs. Reckmeyer numbered her friends
bv her acuaintances and was love d
by everyone. Her life was gentle
she possessed kindly feeling for
everyone and her smile and happy
disposition made her very popular.
She was deeply interested in club
work and was so closely identified
with them that her loss will leave a
vacancy impossible to fill.

Last Thursday night occurred the
Annual High School Commencement
at the Opera House at which time
eight students received diplomas of
graduation as follows: Vida M.
Loveridge, Beulah Coats. Mabel
1ibbs, Hazel Boyer, Mamie AXE,
Mabel Stevens. Edith Whitson and
Elmer Groefseme.
This is the largest class that has
ever graduated from the high school
A singular fact connected with
the class is that the same number to
graduate entered the class four years
ago. 1t is seldom that class enter
ing high school maintains its number
all through the four years course.
Should this be the case with the
class to enter high school next year,
there will be graduating class in
four years of about thirty students.
The entire class of eight intends to
continue with their education and
will possibly enter the un versity and
normal schools Of the state this fall.
The course from which they grad
uated consists of six years in foreign
languages, four in English, three
mathematics. three in history and ore
year science. This prepares them tc
enter any college or university in the
United States.
The address of the evening was de-
livered by Rev. Geo. E. Paddock O.
Boise. In his pleasing manner h
gave an address of vAlue and focr
that will long be remembered by tn
class for its deep logic and valuable
advice. The music was of yer.
high order and would have been
