ut is we'll that we have one day
in the year in which to pause and
look back over the mighty achieve
ments of the past. 1t is we'll that
one day in 365 has been set apart as
time in which to honor the memory
of those who counted not life so dear
or peace so sweet as to be purchased
at the price of slavery; to strew with
flowers the graves of those who let
not home, love, health nor life out
weigh their duties as citizens, VITO
feared not to enter into the fiery fur
mace of war to bring back from its
molten depths peace with honor.

be observed SO long as We shall be
called a nation. We are living now
when its celebration is at the very
height of interest, while many yet
survive who can tell us of the battle
and campaign fought under the south

The speaker paid a high compli-
ment to the fortitude of the women
Of the nation during the dark days of
the war; He gave several illustrations
to illumine the points he made, one
especially effective of young soldier
who risked his life to give water to a
dying confederate. Here follow some
of DR.. Wilson's fine paragraphs:

greatest war of modern times. is &C

''As you look upon Union, Of
many peoples, with diverse interests
and different tongues, yet cemented
and bound together into unity as
striking as it is unprecedented in the
history of the world, and consider
that your efforts alone saved this land
from the terrible calamity of being
divided into two or more hostile
parts; each watching the other with
a jealous eye, adding regiment to reg

keep pace with the stride of the other,
grinding down and impovershing the

Twenty ulpsomas were conferred on
as many graduates from the Sank
Centre high school last Thursday
evening. In addition, nine diplomas
were conferred on graduates from the
Normal department. OF these latter,
six were given to the regular members
of the class, the other three being for
former graduates of the school. The
lists in full appear above.
The exercises, as usual were held
in the Opera House. The stage had
been appropriately decorated for the
occasion, the class colors, green and
white being in evidence. The motto,
'Dig", appeared in white letters on a
green background, hung in the center
of the proscenium arch. Lilacs in
profusion were used in decorating the
front of the stage and the wings. A
flight of steps. covered with white
cloth, led up from the main floor to
the front center of the stage, and up
these steps the class went at the pro-
per time, instead of entering by way
of the side door and the wings. 1t is
a pleasing innovation and good
one.
The members of the Board of Edu-
cation, with the exception of its
president, sat at the rear of the stage
and for few brief moments, were in
the full glare of publicity; after the
class took their seats in front, these
worthy gentlemen were all but totally
eclipsed.
The Junior class had decorated the
stage and they also otflciated accept
ably as ushers. The seating capacity

This was the thirty-third annual
commencement of the Sank Centre
high school. 1t marked new era in
the history of the institution in that
the class of 1913 was the first to grad
uate since the completion of the fine
new building. This goodly bunch OF
young men and women enjoyed their
last year in this building, with all it's
conveniences and down-to-the-minu
appliances. And that the class ap-
preciated it's advantages was evident
from their appearance and from what
the valedictorian said.
The music of the evening consisted
of three selections by five piece or
orchestra from the Sank Centre Band,
with Mesdames Chas. Fiesler and
Albert Markson as accompanies; also

Sank Centre Citizens Join Hands to Pay
Fitting Tribute to the Memory of the
Men Who Saved the Union in the
Dark Days of the Civil War
Graves Strewed with Flowers in Honor to
the Departed, Followed by Services at
Opera House and Eloquent Address
by St. Paul Divine

Memorial Day in Sank Centre in
1913 was ideal. The weather could
act have been finer nor could things
nave moved more satisfactorily to
make the occasion a success. 1t
seems to be the general opinion that
t was the best Memorial Day ever OBJ
served in this city.
At 10 o'clock in the morning, as
usual, there was the parade to the
cemeteries with the decoration of
soldiers graves with flowers. The
parade was fine in every respect. Some
twenty five grizzled Boys in Blue
marched from the Opera House to the
top of the hill this side of Sank River
and then were conveyed from that
point to the cemetery and back in
automobiles, machines also being pro-
.vided for the women of the Relief
Corps. The citizens of the town who
owned automobiles furnished them
gratis for the occasion. The Fire d E.
partment was out in force as usual.
School children and flower girls were
in evidence, the city officials and the
police force formed part and parcel OF
the parade. Geo. Fish otticiated &C
ceptably as marshal of the day. The
exercises at the cemetery were con-
Quoted by the G.. A. r. as usual and
were impressive. Everything con-
tributed to make the occasion one
long to be remembered.
At2 o'clock in the afternoon the
customary program was given at the
Opera House, Comrade Jas. A. Norris
presiding. The seats were all taken
and the program offered was the best
yet seen here. School children from
the lower grades took a prominent
part, singing patriotic songs, deliver
ing patriotic recitations and giving
flag drills and marches. The precision
they displayed in their evolutions
was highly commendable. A double
mixed quartet rendered two vocal Sc
lections, as did the high school male
quartet. The former was composed
of Misses Abel and Maxwell, sopranos:
Mrs. Aygarn and Miss Nutting, altos;
Clarence and Clarice Scott, tenors;
Fay Scott and Fay Cooper, BASES.
All of the selections by these organi-
cations were appropriate and finely
rendered. The Sank Centre Band
furnished two numbers in its custo-
mary excellent manner. Lincoln's
Gettysburg speech was delivered i'm
pressively by Frank Calkins, a men,
Der of the 1913 class of the Sank Gen.
tire high schools.
DR. Wilson's ADDRESS
The address of the day was delivered
by Rev. Harry N. Wilson, pastor of
the Central Presbyterian church of
St. Paul. DIR. Wilson fully justified
his reputation as high grade plat
form speaker. In fact, so we'll were
the old soldiers pleased with the ad-
dress that they declared it was the
best one ever delivered in Sank Gen.
ire. DR.. Wilson's address consisted
mainly of a tribute to the men who
faced the fire in the sixties and suf-
fered for their country. He empha-
sized the Importance of sacrifice and
was certain that the sacrifice made
by the young men of the early sixties
has borne abundant fruit to the bet
torment of the nation and the cause
