The Canon City record with which is consolidated the Canon City cannon., 1916-06-01

The twenty-fourth annual commence
ment program of the South Canon
high school took place at the First
Presbyterian church Wednesday night
and maintained the high standard of
excellence established in former
years. The auditorium was crowded
to its capacity by an interested assem-
blage of people representing every
part of the community who had gath
cred to witness the triumph of the
class and to honor its members upon
their intellectual achievements.
The church decorations were simple,
vet effective and beautiful and con-
tributed to the attractiveness of the
setting of the event so graciously and
delightfully."- celebrated. The front Of
the choir loft and the face OF the
great pipe organ back of it were
elaborately ornamented with masses
of white snowballs. while above it de-
pended in graceful curves and folds
long ribbons of purple and white. the
class cOlors. Potted plants and cut
flowers on the rostrum added to
the charm OF the surroundings and
made the scene notable for its beauty
The white rose was the class flower
and here and there in the decorative
scheme its presence was to be seen
in clusters and in individual speci--
mems. A huge class pennant conspicu-
ously displayed proclaimed the occa-
sion. The class motto, ''Tempus dicet,"
will be a guiding admonition and an
incentive in the lives of its members
to go on to higher conquests. The

Every number evoked deserved APP
plause from the audience. The chorus
selections under the direction of Miss
Retta Craighead, instructor in music
in the South Canon high school
faculty, as well as the vocal solo by
Mrs. Reiter, were splendidly render
ed and were greatly admired, both
in character of their composition and
in the magnificent manner of their
presentation. The address by Prof.
Breitweiser, who occupies the chair of
psychology in the faculty of Colorado
college, was an eminently practical
one and was replete with philosophy
for every day use that can hardly be
otherwise than helpful to those who
listened to it. AS splashes from the
waves of the ocean go further inland
rhan the great masses of water be-
hind them, SO 1t is that young men
and young women who graduate from
our high school carry advance to
greater lengths than the multitude back
of them and become the advance
guard of civilization in which the
tide never GIBBS. Prof. Breitweiser
outlined the elements of success in
life and leadership and admonished
