Diplomas.
The Cashmere schools closed Fri
day night, after one of the most sue
cessful years in the history of the
district The program was. an appro-
pirate closing of the years work.
With a crowded house at the G. A.
R. hall, the program presented was
one of those really good entertain
ments, such as do not come many
times during the year.
Address by Prof. Daggy.
The principal address last night
was made by Maynard Lee Daggy,
one of the best speakers in the state.
His lectures have been listened to by
people all over the United States and
he will leave in few days for the
east to attend the many Chautauquas
in session there during the coming
summer He is now billed for sew
enty addresses during the season.
His lecture last night was one of
those inspiring talks, such as few are
able to give to the young graduates.
His subject was "The Vocabulary of
Success"
Some Exceptional Soloists.
| Cashmere is fortunate in having
some exceptional talent in the mu-
steal line. The vocal solo by Will
Lidiell, entitled when We're To-
gether," and the vocal solo by Os-
borne Williams entitled "a Son of
the Desert am T." were pronounced
by those who attended to be equal
to any rarely heard on any platform.
This seems like a strong statement,
| but there is no question that these
men each have voices far out of the
| ordinary.
Supt. Casebeer Talks.
| Supt J. F. Casebeer in presenting
the diplomas made a talk to the
graduates which was different from
the ordinary talk of this kind in
many respects. Among other things
he called the attention of the gradu-
ates to the fact that at that very
time they were living in the very
best hour of their lives, in the very
best year, in the best decade, in the
| best century of all history. He also
| pointed out to them the fact they
were living in the grandest state of
the Union with great opportunities
for the future.
Supt. Casebeer is a graduate of
the University of Wooster, Ohio
and also of the University of Chica-
go. This is the twenty-fifth year
engaged in teaching. He was for
merly principal of the Genesee, ILL.,,
Academy, taught two years in the

the past year the directors of the
school district of Cashmere have en-
gagged him for the coming Year at
an advanced salary.

If there is another district just like
it in the state. The pupils are haul
ed to school in buses, three of them
being driven each morning to school
ana back in the evening. This con-
solidated district extends six miles

proud of the educational advantages
