Every Of the young people played
their parts to perfection, not a slip or
a hitch marred the college life of the
students who mixed love with learn
ing and everything ended right. Ellen
Campbell played the leading charac-
ter and she did it 50 well that she
won unStinted praise. Clara Peterson
was a dear sweet mother for the girls
and she mothered them with tender
devotion and mOtherly love, 50 much
so that the pathetic scene made the
dear girls weep. Lillian Cloud as
half sister of Kate Newton Ellen
Campbell played a ditlicult part to
perfection. She was jealous and
wanted Rates sweetheart for her
w but didn't get him, but secured
the affections Of Amos North whom
She didn't want but was bound to
have a man. Nest Pattee as Rates
roommate, Anna Lumber as a teacher
at NasSar, and Lunetta Rising as q
Freshman, were important aids in
the combination that watched Hates
struggle between love and scorn for
John Willett Arthur Kehm. Arthur
played the hero part and played it
naturally, and in the end won Rates
love and heart. Melvin Opperud
played a di11icult part nicely and final
ly got the girl he didn't want, but
was pleased with his victory.
Otis knudtson made a splendid
negro and had the Ethiopian faculty
of making his eyes and mouth talk to-
getller and amu,ed the audience inn
mensely. Otto Lawrence as Hank
Gubbin, a hired man, played the part
of a country lad, who was not very
particular about dress but had a
towering love for something good to
eat and was never late at meal time.
The other members of the class
came in as sweet college girls and
they filled important additions in the
general plot of the play, said by many
to be the best class play ever given in
Canton.
COMMENCEMENT PROGRAM
After the Glass play came the
final exercises in the court house
Friday evening. The court room was
packed with relatives and friends Of
the graduates, and handsomely
decorated in honor of the event.
The program began with an invoca-
tion by Rev. Buritf and was followed
with a violin solo by Mrs. DR..
Gulbrandsen. Miss Zoe Wendt de-
llNereu the SdluLdCOry, anu UllS
''sweet girl GRADUATED never appeared
to better advantage and was generous
a%pplauded. n. G. Iirschey, President
OF the Redtield college, was introduced
by Prof. WOODBURY., and this gentle
man entertained the audience with d
splendid address. Mrs. DR.. Gulbrand-
sell again entertained with a Splen-
did violin solo, and then came the
valedictory by Miss Alma Thompson.
She had given her subject careful
preparation and Was accorded nigh
appreciation.
President Skartvedt presented the
graduates with their diplomas and a
benediction completed the final ex-
erciSeS.
The class is worthy the hOnOrS CON
ferred and the evidence Of careful
training by Prof. WOODBURY. was
apparent from the class play to the
end. Prof. WoOdburn has been with
the school for three years and retires
to accept a fine position in Minnesota.
