A Large Class of Thirty-two Receive
High School Honors
The high school exercises for
the closing of the year were of
pleasing character and all sue
cessfully carried out. The class
play clicks at College," was
presented in a very entertaining
manner to full house on Thurs
day evening, and the several
parts were taken with spirit by
the members of the class.
On Friday evening at the
Bentley Grand the graduation ex
ercies were held, and consisted
of an orchestra selection, follow
ed by the invocation by Rev. J.
w. Oldfield. Miss Nettie Lock-
hart delivered the salutatory in
a very pleasing manner, while
the history OF class was given by
Miss Emma L. Lind IN story.
Herbert Suhr made prophecy
of the various members of the
class and Miss Averil Amsden
as valedictorian gave an interes-
ting address on the Panama ca
nal, and gave the farewell of the
class. The graduating address
was given by Dr.Franklin Jones,
professor in the scientific de-
partment of the state university
at Vermilion. The address was a
rather unique and very intertain-
ing one, full of wholesome
truths presented in a pleasing
manner. While we may have lis
tened to more flowery gradua-
'tions addresses then that of DR..
Jones, we think we can truth
fully say that we never heard
one that was of more direct prac
tical value or filled with more
helpful, wholesome advice to
young people who had their life
work before them and were de-
sirous of making the most of it.
DR.. Ferguson, chairman of the
board of education, gave pleas
ing concluding address to the
class, but as the publishing house
from whom the diplomas had
been ordered had suffered a loss
by fire, and the diplomas thus
destroyed, the p4 4eseu tation Of
these had to be postponed un-
till others could be secured. The
class was the largest that has
yet been graduated from the
city schools and numbered
thirty-two, the roll being as fol

The opera house was prettily
decorated with the class colors
and "Just Commencement" fol
motto. The Freshman, Sopho-
mOres and Juniors were seated
in the gallery and greeted the
graduates with their class yells
as they took their places, and
the orchestra rendered num-
Der of musical selections during
the evening, all the exercises
passing off in a most commend
able and enjoyable manner.
