OF Preparatory School Life
Taken Thursday
By The l9l6SClaSS OF Mt.
Vernon High

Taking final leave of the scenes of
four years of scholastic endeavor and
preparing to enter upon the real life
that awaits them, 70 boys and girls
went through the last chapter in their
education, as far as preparatory work
is concerned, at the Mt. Veron high
school auditorium Thursday morning
when they we're formally graduated
from the institution with fitting cere-
monies and received the rolls of
sheepskin which, for SO many, repre-
sent hours of hard, studious labor.
OF the number, some will proceed
to higher education, nineteen having
equipped themselves for this by TAX
ing the college preparatory course.
Others, to the number of fourteen,
will enter upon the business world
their training having been along the
lines of stenography, bookkeeping
and typewriting. Two have scientific
ambitions, while thirty-seven, the
bulk of the class, will enter into di-
versified occupations, the English
course having made them adaptable
to any number of pursuits. OF the
class, forty are boys and thirty-two
girls-an extraordinary division.
The auditorium was tightly packed
long before the hour of 10 arrived
Thursday morning and scores of peo-
pie were forced to stand up, many in
the entrances and on the fire escapes
where only fieeting glimpses could be
obtained of the ceremonies.
The stage, whereon were placed
chairs to seat the members of the
class, had green and white trestle-
work background on which numerous
red roses were pinned, while along
the top of this, line of white roses
ran the length of the stage. These
formed the colors of the class, red
and white. Ferns and palms complet-
ed an attractive decoration.
Promptly at 1915 O'clock, members
of the class marched down the two
aisles in stately fashion, boys alter
mating with girls. When the platform
was reached and the invocation made
the class sat down and the cere-
monies proceeded. The following
was the program:
Overture, From Shore to Shore
(Bennett)- )--High School orchestra.
March-High School orchestra.
Invocation-Rev. E. E. Whitaker.
Glass Song.
Address-H. G. Williams, Editor
Ohio Teacher.
Presentation of Diplomas-Carl N.
Lorey, president of the board Of edu-
cation.
Benediction-Rev NJ. S. Freeman.
Overture-High School orchestra.
Dean Henry G. Williams of Colum-
bus, director of the Ohio Teachers Bu-
reau, and an educational editor, proved
an excellent choice for commencement
orator.
Mr.. Williams has devoted his life to
teaching in it's various phases, having
been dean of the state Normal college
at Athens, subsequent to 29 years of
actual teaching experience. For II
years, he has edited the "Ohio Teach
er" and has written numerous text
books.

done so easily. A little raking here

ash piles and perhaps the planting
of few vines, and with everybody
doing this, the effect is sure to be
pleasing.
