The play had been under the direc-
tion of Miss Grant, and she is to be
congratulated upon the success Of a
play in which so much defended upon
the staging.
Miss Ruth Tobey gave the valedic-
tory, talking of the class MOTTO In
yicta." She illustrated this from
mythology, history, and literature,
showing how perseverance to educa-
tion wins in the end. At the close OF
her address the curtain rose and the
class of 1911 came forward. Prin. e.
G. Parlin followed his presenting OF
the diplomas by long address, in
which he advocated higher education
He spoke of the sacrifices many par
entS had made to send them this far,
but urged that all their energies be
directed toward higher education
Fifteen years ago, he said, he would
have told the class they were to take
their place as leaders Of the COM
munity, but today, in this age of edu-
cation, he could only say that they
had equal chances with anyone else
to succeed. He said that while his
salary had always ranked with the
best in the profession, now that he
was leaving the profession he could
plead that this line of work be as
well enough paid so that better men
might enter.
At the close, Supt. Tobcy presented
Prof. Parlin with travelling case,
which the faculty and students had
given as a farewell gift, to express
their love and gratitude. The as
sembly hall was decorated for the
two nights with palms and other
plants banked up on either side of the
stage, and with large banner, bear
ing the class motto, suspended from
the ceiling. The new relay pennant,
which our boys won at Appleton, was
displayed, too, for the first time.
On Friday evening the class of 1912
gave a reception and dance at the
Wausau club house, in honor of the
class of 1911. The hall was beauti-
fully decorated in blue and white and
green. A large "Class of 1911" had
been lettered upon the south wall.
Cut flowers and plants were foundsall
over the building. Several punch
bowls were placed about the ball
room and reception hall, and their
contents were very acceptable at the
close of every dance, for the tempera-
ture in the hall was very warm. Re
freshments, consisting of ice cream
and waters, were served in the din
ing room.
The music was very good, and not
withstanding the crowd and tempera-
ture, the seniors were given fine
send-off and we hope that the class of
1913 may give the present juniors as
enjoyable time when they in turn
may graduate.
The high school orchestra which
furnished the music for the COM
mencement nights is one of the finest
this high school has ever had. Under
the instruction of Miss Lintz, the
high school has developed an orchestra
to be proud of. This orcheSta con-
sists mainly of high school students.
However, because of lack of material
in the high school for the playing of
some instruments, few others have
added their strength.
The senior members are Willard
Doleschal, the leader, Edison Boerke
and George Bahr.
