 HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATION.
 Comique theatre was tastefully bedacked with mountain laurel Thurs day evening for the graduation ex- ercises of the high school. From the stage floor to the ceiling the wall was a mass of pink blossoms. A low hedge bordered the front of the plat form and suspended from the arch overhead was the class motto, Umquam Altior, in the class colors, blue and gold. As Lynch's orchestra played a prooessional eight pupils of the junior class carrying ropes of laurel and long blue and gold flower tipped wands formed a floral isle through which the senior class marched to the stage. Rev. o. H. Drf hn Ruth Lee Andrews combined the salutatory with an essay on "Our Debt to the Immigrant" in which more sympathy and consideration was asked for these alien people, That they be better safeguarded from crooks and sharpers and their way made brighter during their first weeks in this strange land were suggestions made. In an oration on Human Mosquitoes Thomas Lawrence Cum- miskey described as such those persons who by word or deed are constantly stinging their fellow men. The two classes mentioned were the intention- ally venomous who strike to wound and the habitual 'kidder, who often makes life miserable for is sensitive friends Both have it in their power to blast or wholly destroy human effort and the "swatting" method was proposed as remedy. Bernard Leo Mullins in is oration on Beacon Lights of Holland County called to mind the large number from this locality who have made honored places for them selves in those things which count for most in life. Among those mentioned were Jared Sparks, Ben. jamin Trumbull, Elias Loomis and Capt. Nathan Hale. Modern Miracles of Science was the subject of Cyril William Dawson's oration. After defining science and the matter il deals with he described the funda. mental principles of wireless tele graphy, the Diesel oil engine, the opto phone and the power to weigh large chemical bodies, even planets. Miss Harriet Alma Cooper with the vale diotory spoke on Optimism, Good an6 Bad. A person may believe all vii be bright and fair to such a degret that he, putting forth no effort. be comes through indulgence menace tt society. Such cases are not rare ant lack of optimism causes no more human dereleots than nptimi ism car ried to extremes.
