| high school life with brighter fu'
| lures before them.
The casino was crowded with
proud and admiring parents, besides

usually pretty. The stage was draped
in American flags and the class mot
to, only A Beginning" was neatly
arranged overhead. Ferns and other
flowers greatly added to the appear
ance of the building.
The twelve bright graduates, to-
gether with Supt. E. l.. Mason
marched upon the stage shortly af-
ter eight o'clock. The girls were
prettily gowned in white, while the
seven boys wore blue with white
neckties. Each wore a rose, the
class flower, which added greatly to
the scene.
Rev. David Hicks pronunced the
invocation. Then Maurice Vande-
water of Muskegon rendered beau
tiful solo, 81 Loved You" Mr.. Van
dewater is singer OF some note,
and his singing was greatly appre-
ciated by the audience. Miss Tillie

on the subject and showed plainly
that the subject was becoming a
very important one.

world, bringing out the fact strongly
that money was not the only object
in view for them.
