Class Speaker This Year

The seventh annual commence
ment week Of the Kennewick
High School will be ushered in
next Sunday morning when the
eleven graduates and their friends
will assemble in the high school
gymnasium to listen to the Bac-
calaureate sermon. by Rev. w.
H. Mitchellrector of the:St. Paul's
Episcopal church. The R e v.
Mitchell has chosen for his sub
ject, Therefore Get Wisdom,
but with all thy getting, get un-
derstanding." The Baccalaure-
ate services will be held at eleven
o'clock and the regular morning
services in several of the churches
will be cancelled, Rev. w. P. Os-
good, of the Baptist, Rev. R. A.
Atkins, Of the Congregational,
and Rev. C. D. Rarey, of the
Methodist church, assisting in
the ceremonies.
Csnneseeaeat Friday
The commencement exercises
proper will be held in the gym
nasium the following Friday
evening at eight o'clock. Fol
lowing an annual custom the
commencement speaker was chos-
en- by the class, the honor this
year haven fallen to Superinten-
dent M. S. Lewis. Professor
Lewis has chosen for his subject,
Study, Work, and Growth. "
The program will be varied from
that of former years in that there
will be no class orators, the adj
dress Of the superintendent be-
ing the only one of the evening.
In accordance with previous GUS
tom and at the request Of the
graduates, it is asked that there
beno flowers nor presents brought
to the high school building on
commencement night. Children
under the eighth grade will be
excluded from the exercises, the
only exceptions being the men,
bers of the immediate families Of
the graduates. The reason for
this rule is that there is not suffi-
cient room for the adults who at
tend and it is held unfair that
those who support the schools
should be excluded from seats
because Of the room taken up by
the children. Reserve seats will
be held for the members of the
graduates families. Admission
to those seats will be by cards
which must be presented to the
ushers.
Eleven In Class
Eleven young people will be
presented with diplomas this year
in token of their having success
fully completed the four years
course taught in the high school.
Four of the eleven will be grad
uated with special honor, having
maintained average grades above
ninety. They are, Geraldine
Grassland, SO 7-12; -Lura Shana-
felt, 90 39-4O; Raymond Rarey,
