The Commencement Exercises of
the Warren High School last Friday
evening was marked success and a
large crowd had assembled in the
opera house to witness this gradua.
tion.
The exercises began with two Sc
lections, by the Jacklin Orchestra,
which was appreciated by all. Dur
ing the last selection the graduates,
faculty, board and speaker of the
evening took their places on the stage.
Rev. A. A. Myers led in prayer.
Miss Edith Mattson, the Salutator-
ian, delivered an Grafton on the sub
ject, "Outward Bound" This was the
class motto, and Miss Mattson did
not fail to cover the essential points
in this great subject. She was at
perfect ease on the stage and she
had no difficulty in presenting her
ideas. She welcomed the audience in
pleasing manner.
The High School Glee Club then
rendered a favorable song entitled
'Voices of Spring" after which Supt
keenan, introduced the speaker Of the
evening Mr.. James Hoffman Batters
Mr.. Batten presented his subject,
'Masteries of Life" in forcible man.
ner He pointed out that one masters
things in life by thought Without
thought of your own, one cannot mas
ter the problems presented in life. 1t
was very able address in every par
ticular and shall long remain in the
minds of those that were present. His
address did not fail to display thought
and sound thought from beginning to
end.
Another splendid selection from the
Glee Club, and then arose the Vale
dictorian, Miss Ragna Blawd. She
had chosen for her subject, "Smiles. y
She did not forget to smile and look
happy before this large audience. 1t
was a mastery Grafton and in it We
found a great deal of thought. I,
was the smile that never wears of
that counts. Not the put-on smile OF
the self-conceited smile. These kinds
of smiles are not wanted and are
soon forgotten by everyone. She made
splendid appeal in her farewell re
marks, to the Juniors to be ever true
to their Alma Mater and told them
that the future character of the
school depended upon them. 1t was
fine farewell to both faculty and
school board and shall surely remain
as fond memories from the graduation
class Of 1910.
Mr.. r. P. Mattson, the president OF
the board, directed some thoughts tc
the class of 1910 and then presented
each graduate with diploma. He al
SO presented the Normal department
students certificates and to these he
directed some words of advice, will
respect to their work among the
children in the rural districts.
A song by the Glee Club and the
benediction by Rev, Myers closed
these splendid exercises. We feel as
all do that attended, that it was 9
pleasant Commencement and fee
that we were more than repaid fo1
the time that the children have beer
ii attendance at the school.
The faculty is to be congratulated
upon their good work.
