HIGH SCHOOL COMMENCEMENT

Course; One POSTGRADUATE

high school in the past four years
The class this year was not larg
in mum bers, but has done excellen
work and at all times has mani
tested the spirit Of the class motto

ged. = 's
The commencement exercises
were held at the opera house Fri
day evening, April %, and the hal
was beautifully decorated in tht
class colors, purple and white, and
was filled to overfowing with
friends of the graduates. The pro-
gram was one of the best ever
given by high school class in
Laclede and we'll merited the
hearty applause each number re-
eeived.
After a splendid chorus by the
well trained high school girls and
the invocation by the Rev. L. G.
Powell, Louese M. Haight, salu-
tatorian, read most interesting
essay, her subject being 'Barbar-
ISM" M. Agnes Thompson fol-
lowed with the class Chronicles, /"
beinga very pleasing and accurate
account of the doings of the class
and others in the past ten years.
Mabel Rose Kraft, who completed
o postgraduate course this year,
came next with a well-executed
piano solo. Leonard l.. Jones, the
only boy in the class, delivered an
excellent Grafton on the Wizard
of Menlo Park" Louise Haight
brought down the house with a
humorous reading, The Forty

girls sang Annie Laurie" and
Esther T.. Rowland read the class

more orless value were hequeathed
to fortunate members of lower
classes, and followed with a Bon
fire. of property nobody wanted.
Opal Joy Baker, valedictorian,
read a spendid essay on the "Oil
and Vinegar of Life, " the high
school sang another song and G. G.
Bigger in his usual felicitous man
ner presented the diplomas.
The entire program not only was
well prepared and rendered, but it
also showed that the preliminary
training, the real work of the school,
had been carefully and thoroughly
done, and their performance was
not merely a triumph for the in
dividual members Of the class, but
was also a splendid testimonial to
the character Of the work done in
our most excellent public schools.
The teaching force in the Laclede
schools is the best and most cap
able that can be obtained and the
work Of The class of 10, as. exem-
plifed in their commencement exer-
eises, shows that their talents are
not wasted here in Laclede.
One suggestion might be appro-
pirate in this connection. The re-
port of the state superintendent
shows that while our high school
has a four year course and does the
full amount of work called for in
that course, the state department |
Of education gives credit for only
two years. The reason for this is
