Enid High school had commencement
(caIled differently in olden times) Fri
day. At 10 o'clock the exercises began
| by singing America" which thrilled
the hearts of the large audience. Elder
S. T. Courtney conducted devotional
exercises in his usual impressive man.
ner. Miss Alma Walgreen read a paper
on Education. Though the theme was
old, yet interesting. She brought out
new thoughts which would have been a
credit to one beyond her age. She is a
bright young woman and will make a
splendid teacher. She received her d.
ploma modestly, also two beautiful
bouquets.
Prof. Consley of Water Valley was
presented by MIR. Temple, principal OF
the school, in words fifty spoken. The
professor delivered an address on
High Ideals in life, as laid down by
Jehovah" This was handled in q mas
terly way, holding his hearers an hour.
He impressed all with the necessity of
possessing high ideals in this life on
the proper way to reach the goal. He
is an easy and graceful speaker, exhib-
ting his fitness for the subject and &C.
casion. He, too, received two hand
some bouquets.
The concert in the evening, consist
ing in part of a flag drill, tabfeaux and
dialogs, was immensely enjoyed.
This was followed by Prof. Consley's
lecture on the problems of the hour. "
Thus closed the exercises of the day,
which will long be remembered by ev-
eryone who was fortunate enough to be
present..
Prof. v. B. Temple, aided by his
handsome and accomplished assistant,
Miss Annie Toule, has had splendid
success with the school, and the pat
rons and people generally would be
pleased for them to have charge next
session.
