The valedictorian Of the January
division of the class Is Miss Marian
Williamson, and the salutatorian is
Miss Irma Yeiser. Owing to the fact
that there are two divisions OF the
class there will be two salutatory
speeches and two valedictories. This
unusual condition is brought about
by the fact that the first midyear d.
vision finished the course last jan
|uary. However, from now on every
year there will be two divisions OF
the graduating class, but the class
will be graduated as whole In June
Because of the fact that there are
four honor pupils OF the class they
will be permitted to draw for their
places on the program. The two
|salutatorians will draw for the first
address and the two valedictorians
will draw for the last position. All
four of the honor pupils will have
part on the program, but the draw
ing will be done to settle the posi-
tons. The committee on school with
the superintendent has the right TO
designate the order in which the
speakers shall appear on the program
