The many graduates Of the WILL
mar High School and WiIlmar Sem
mary who were last week added to
the list of the alumni Of those in
stitutions are now no longer think
ing of lessons TO be mastered for
next days recitations but are busy
making their plans for the future.
A great many have already decided
as to what they are best fitted
to do while others are still uncer-
tain. Willmar will be represented

entzen, Esther Anderson, and Mil
le Lange. Clara Axness will take

::sal =: he graduation exercises Of the
High. School, Eighth Grade and
Seminary were very largely attend
ed and splendid programs were
given which were greatly enjoyed.
The class prophecy given at the
High School graduation exercises
was particularly clever and inter-
esting. 1t was in the form of a
conversation which took place be-
tween Ruth Hennings and Harriet
Lorentzen ten years after gradua-
tion in which they tell each other
Of the changes which took place in
the lives Of their class mates. The
short space of ten years had indeed
wrought many interesting changes
in their lives. Leonard Nordstrom
had become the manager of the
long wished for trolley line from
Willmar to Spicer and George Hal
ma the proprietor of a famous sum
mer resort at the same place
Francis Downs and Lorin Hodgsor
were filling positions as fashion anc
sporting editors of Montant
newspaper very creditably. Gu
pids shafts had struck the hearts o1
most of the young women in the
class as we'll as few of the young
men. Gladys Birch had become the
wife of a missionary and had gone
with her husband to devote her life
to the heather in China. Tht
brown eyes. of 1rma Leslie hae
played havoc with the heart of :
French count who had one day fal
len by accident from his air shil
near her fathers farm. Other
members of the class had become
teachers, some inventors. and still
others had become prominent in so
ciety life. Dame fortune indeet
smiled upon them all.
The class play given by the mem
bers of the senior class in the Higl
School, and the Eighth grade exer
cises were very successful financial.

The Eighth Graders did nearly a

own efforts, part will be used
