tations from our hest authors were
frequently used in an illustrative
was.
The chorus of eighty-fve voices in
the rendition of THE Union Jack'
was the most popular musical num-
Der of the evening and boys of all
ages and with nicely blended voices
participated in the production. Ac.
cording to popular verdict the train
ing of this chorus represents some of
Miss Wetmore's most able work
and testifies as to her ability as a
musical director.
The class was ably represented in
Miss Shirley Holmes valedictory,
The Modern High School," in
which she began at the beginning of
school history and explained how
and why the modern high school
has found its place in the evolution
of educational institutions and con-
stantly changing needs and demands
OF rural and city communities. In
the early years of the nation, the
natural outgrowths of the common
school system in furnishing field
of study little further advanced
than the eight grades of primary
and intermediate work, were the
14atin-grammar schools and acad-
emies. From these grew the high
school, which has fulfilled its mis-
on satisfactorily until recent years.
The aim of the old academy aud
high school was to prepare its pu-
pills for college rather than for every
day life in the home town or COM
munity. Literary and scientific
studies were the major studies s
taught. Now educators find that
the schools must adjust themselves
to the changing conditions. 1t is
the exceptional student who has the
advantages of a college education,
and the majority of the boys and
girls in high school leave it's doors
to go into the home and other fields
of effort near at hand and take up
the struggle for the necessities of
life. To meet the requirements of
this greater number of high school
graduates, we find the skilled and
technical trade schools, business
college and commercial and agricul-
tural high schools. Throughout the
grades and high school, the wide
awake cities and rural districts are
putting in new courses of study,
embracing manual training and do

ROB RAINIER BAR

Two hangers-on of the Barnes cir
Gus got themselves into difficulties,
Sunday afternoon, when they at
tempted to rob the Rainier Bar.
One of the two escaped but the other,
who gives his name as Roy Nelson,
was placed under arrest and sent to
Prosser for trial. A passer-by saw
that the rear entrance of the sa-
loon was open between five and six
Sunday afternoon, and thinking
that drinks were available, pro-
ceeded to investigate. He found
the burglar carrying out bottles and
lost no time in notifying the police.
There was little spectacular play
when policeman Copeland pursued
the miscreant down the street with
a revolver but he soon collared him
and relievd him of portion of the
stolen goods. 1t appeared that it
was the last of several trips to the
circus tents where they found over
twenty dollars worth of whiskey and
beer. A little over eight dollars in
change was taken from the cash
drawer. The robbers had been
making handsome profits in the
sale of the booze to the circus crew.

BARN BURNS

Wednesday morning Christ
Christensen. residing on Fourth
street, awoke between one and two
o'clock to find his barn enveloped
in flames. An alarm was turned
in Immediately which met with
prompt response from the citizens

wind which had been blowing most
of the night had quieted down some
what and thus enabled the fire
fighters to work quickly and effect
lively in preventing further property
loss. If it had not been one of
those lucky fires' several of the
nearby dwellings would have burned.
AS it was the blaze was squelched in
few minutes. Mr.. Christensen
lost twenty chickens and pet bull
dog in the fire with some odds and
ends of junk stored in the barn.
The COW which was confined in one
of the stalls broke loose and escaped.
The property was owned by Chas.

Eleven Young Peopl lie Graduate With Honors
at First Commencement Exercises in
New High School Building

The first class to 60 forth from
the new high school as graduates
were given the final honors of COM
mencement night on Friday evening
Of last week. Shortly after eight
O clock, the procession was formed
headed by Supt. Lewis and G. M.
Annis, with other members of the
school board following, and the
seniors marching two and two to the
strains of Costa's "Triumphal
March. F." The high school chorus
brought up the rear and took their
places for the opening number after
the benediction had been pro-
nounced by Rev. Fraser.
The class colors, purple and gold
were used in the details of the dec
orative scheme which was effective
ly carried ont in arranging suit
able background for the seniors
when they took their places upon
the rostrum. A solid triangular
bank of purple lilacs and foliage was
built at the rear, and the sides of
the platform were covered with the
same, while the date 1912" was
inscribed in gold on purple ensign
placed over the heads of the grad
yates. Streamers Of purple and
gold completed the decoration.
These arrangements were in the
hands of Miss Velikanje and Mr..
Groom, assisted by the Juniors and
sophomores, and much credit is due
them for the capable manner in
which they discharged their duties
The seniors and audience alike
would do well if they made the
message of the salutatorian, Miss
Stella Hanson, a part of their every
day principles 10 life. She dealt
with her somewhat comprehensive
subject, "Optimism," with much
animation ard defined it as the Wit
alizing spark in human nature which
makes life truly worth while. The
effect OF the perpe ual grouch's at

him was wildly portrayed by the
young speaker as well as the counter
picture of the cheerful heart, with
it's frightening influence tightening
the burdens of everyone. The man

her address Miss Hanson did not
fail to pay him fitting tribute.

"Better looking, more sturdy or
more uniform sized men can t be found
in the navies of the world than right
here in the brigade of the Pacific
fleet" was the comment of a by
stander as the Whitehead bluejackets

officers and officials yesterday morning.

Honolulu was honored when the COM

Naturalization of drums and the blare
of trumpets, the 100 men made the
streets resound with their tread, while

The men carried rifles and the officers

their hips were strapped ugly-looking
revolvers
At half-past nine the crowds assem-
bled heard the opening selection of the
band in the lead of the procession as it
passed from Allen street into Fort, and
then up Fort street swung the column
headed by squad of mounted police.
The street had been cleared of all
vehicles by the police SO that the long
column was unobstructed, even the
street cars being stopped and turned
back by orders of General Manager
Ballentyne. The sidewalks were dense
