!. EXERCISES
CLASS DAY PROGRAM.

The Class Day exercises were given
in the high school auditorium
Wednesday evening Of last week and
a large crowd was present to enjoy
the program. Each number. was ex-
ceptionally well given and all felt that
the class of 1914 was still "Climb-
ing" j; tr.sl:
4 The first number, a piano solo,
a"Second Mazurka" by Kathleen Hag-
arty, was we'll received. Welcome"
by Elsie Cummings was very good
indeed. She drew word picture of
an artists masterpiece, a beautiful
orchard of apple trees, loaded with
blossoms. AS he watched the picture
the blossoms seemed to move. Here
and there appeared the smiling faces
Of his graduating class. In the cen
ter he appeared as one of the happy
ones. This class Of 1914 were happy
and welcomed parents, teachers and
friends to join with them in their
happiness. She finished with the
quotation from Lowell,
""Those love truth best, who to them
selves are true, G.-&
And what they dare. to dream Of,
dare to do.' q. Il - #e:r
The Glass history by Opal Lawhead
and Bernice Ely, as two old ladies
fifty years after commencement, was
very novel and interesting. It was
a most happy way to present the
supposed facts about each member
and incidents in the hictory of the
class FIX CO... -FS,.
Helen Jefferies' reading of the
"Mustard Plaster" was indeed good.
Her enunciation was clear and dis
tinct and her stage bearing fine.
The, Class Poem by Dewey Wiley
pleasantly surprised his audience. It
is seldom that a. boy is Of a poetic
nature. He covered the events in
each year from the time they were
humble Freshmen until they were
dignifed Seniors. In closing he
called upon the class to never forget
their motto and all through their life
to "Climb." ~ RI
The singing of Greeting to
Spring" by Misses Olive Whaley,
Eleanor Davis, Marjorie Lytle and
Carrie Messersmith, was especially
good. Il 4 u. a::5,t..@, s.
The" ."Class WHIP executed by Cleon
Ahner and delivered in his judicial
voice was much more amusing than
serious. All things to which the
Seniors had any claim whatsoever
were bequeathed in their last will
and testament.
The only solo of the evening was
"A Gipsy Maiden" sweetly sung by
Carol Mcclure. a.
! Clyde Stewart, as the cartoonist of
the class, presented many laughable
pictures of the members Of the class,
each a work of art, the result Of an
inspiration.
The German essay by Sophie Jahr,
though not entirely understood by all,
was very good indeed. She did a diff
ficult thing well and held closest at
tention. ~ TX, ~
"a Second Trial" by Irene Church
was well read. She easily repre-
sented the conversation of the grown
up person as well as that of the
SThe Class Prophecy" was ably
handled by Stella Hager and Beulah
Brown. They pictured each member
Of the class one year hence
working to obtain money for a col
llege education, each doing a rushing
business. This proved very amusing
as we'll as the hits at the Juniors. y
The "Class Gifts,'' given to each
member by William j. McCutchan
drew many laughs as the especial
fitness of each gift was recognized. ..
Is Ruth Hogue, in a. clear, distinct
voice, delivered the Farewell" She
first sketched i the. life of Thomas
Edison, showing how he had climbed
from a boy with practically no edu-
lcation to the great man; whose in
tventions are the wonder af the age
iShe, in closing, too, called on the class
/ to remember the motto, to always
keep it before them and to "climb.'
