The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1910-06-08
TWENTY-EIGHT
GRADUATED
Largest Class Ever Launched
from Redwood Falls
High School.
Fifty-Four Students Of Senior
and Junior Glasses on
the Platform.

The twenty-eight members Of the
high school class of 1910, grouped
en- the platform last Friday night,
with the class of 1911, twenty-six
st6sing, constituted the finest ex-
Slit eyer made here of the products
! of Redwood Falls and vicinity. If
Iaere were any pessimists in the
aadience, they must have been con-
vinced that with such human docu-
fnents in evidence, there is no reason
to worry over what the future has
in store for us in the character of
it's citizenship. Here were more
than fifty bright and wholesome
young women and men-for as
usual, the girls were decidedly in
the majority and by the time they
have taken a post graduate course
in the outside world of actualities,
their influence will be for the better
things in social and political life,
and there will be enough of them
to leaven the social mixture of ten
or twenty years hence, and it is a
safe bet that lot of things will be
better by that time than they are
to-day.
AS almost every family in this
vicinity was represented in the
crowd &c 600 Or moro which packed
the Christian church, The Gazette
will not attempt to report all of the
good things spoken and acted in
connection with this always popular
exhibition of the work of our
schools. The graduates and juniors
constituted the best of decorations.
grouped as they were upon the
stage, but there were also strings
of smilax twined about the pillars
on either side of the platform, as
well as bouquets of carnations and
roses for the floral part of the dis
play.
The program published hitherto
was followed, with invocation by
Rev. E. v. Dubois, music by the
high school orchestra which was
highly creditable to that organiza-
ton, and the long program of over
twenty items was disposed of in less
than two hours.
Myrtle Ilett's thoughtful salu-
tatory and Helen Everett's recita-
ton of Buds Fairy Tale" held the
close attention Of the audience,
Pearl johnson of Wabasso showing
unusual vocal talent in her song
number which followed.
Winfred Gray showed up the
Golden Calf" as an animal which
brings very little satisfaction to its
worshippers. while Lora Francois
manipulated "A Handful of Clay
and made of it charming legend
with a moral attached.
A piano number by Maude Peter
son showing both talent and training
was followed by Pearl Aldrich's
bright essay on Castles in Spain and
Edith Fraser's Class Prophecy in
rhymes and local hits which were
greeted with audible smiles.
The vocal uuartette by Messrs.
Fuller, CaIlaghan. Hall and Whittet,
elected tumultuous pIaudits, but
the length Of the program forbade
the raating Of any Of the numer-
ous demands for recall. Abbie Gray
and Fannie Henderson had cleverly
collabOrated In q class history which
seemed to be a little closer to fact
than is most history, as evidenced
by the demonstrations of the high
school groups.
Willard Fuller exhibited really |
musical voice in his solo. and Kath-
crime Grass made her audience feel
Just y BIT creepy 1t the climax Of
her story Of Sidney Cartons ride to
Che nuillotiEie.
