The graduation of the Class
of 1915 was witnessed by, a
large and appreciative audi
ence last evening, at the Chris
tian church. A most entertain.
ing program being rendered by
the me mbers of the class, sssist-
ed in some musical numbers by
other members of the High
School.
Mr.. Robert Leimer very ef-
fectively delivered an grafton
upon "War and Public Opinion"
in which were emphasized some
striking points for elaboration
at this especial crisis both in
our own and foreign countries.
Miss Louise Carlisle then de-
lighted the audience with q
clever reading entitled, can
Elopement." Miss Carlisle is
to be complimented upon her
ability as q reader and the
pleasing manner with which
she holds her audience.
The II. s., mixed chorus fol.
lowed in a musical number,
"WhO is Sylvia?"
Miss Ruth Willmott, in an
elegantly prepared grafton
Consolidated Schools" also put
before those in attendance
some facts and worthy sugges
tions along the line of better
and broader educational ad-
vantages, for the growing gen
Grafton.
An exceedingly witty and in
teresting Class Prophesy was
next foretold by Miss Matte
Foreman, and although it re-
vealed the various members of
the class scattered to the ends
of the earth, the feeling of
class spirit and loyalty still
bound them closely together.
Another musical number,
Lullaby from Jocelyn,' rem
dered by the Senior girls prov
ed very pleasing to the audi
ence and was followed by the
Class Will drawn up and most
solemnly read before the class
and the witnesses of their grad
uation, by Miss Kathaleen
Tierney.
The Boys chorus followed in
the musical number, "The Red
Scarf" The H. S, should be
proud of their exceedingly
large and enthusiastic Boys
chorus.
The Valedictorian, Miss Ly-
dia Peterson, very ably upheld
her honors in an address upon
Success" bringing out some
very important thoughts for
the twenty-four new entrants
into "Life's School," also ex-
pressing in fitting words their
farewell to school life.
At the close of the following
program, Supt. Graham ad
dressed the class in a few
words of appreciation for their
sturdy efforts in the past year
to be worthy Of these final
