SENIOR GLASS OF 1916
ARE GIVEN DIpL LOMAS
Fourteen Graduates of the Langdo
High School Have Completed a
Four Years Course


graduating class of 1916 in the Opera
House last Friday evening will long
be remembered by the large number
who attended. The decorations and
stage setting carried out the class
colors with background of plants
and bunting that was quite pleas
ing. In addition to the fourteen Of
the senior high school who received
their diplomas on this occasion, the
members Of the board OF education
and the high school faculty also were
seated on the stage.
MIR. G. e. Johnston az chairman of
the school board presided and the
evenings program was commenced by
a we'll rendered vocal number by the
high school girls Glee Club who We're
heard at their best. A verdict of equal
merit was also given the excellent
soprano solo given by Miss Mcintyre,
whose number on the program preced-
ed the address by the speaker OF the
evening, Prof. c. 3. Waldron, dean
of the state agricultural college at
Fargo whose coming here to address
Langdon's high school class of '16 in
place Of Prof E. C. Babcocl, of the
University of North Dakota, is an
appreciation that our people can
hardly give expression to. What
Dean Waldron said in his address to
the boys and girls who graduated from
our high school last Friday evening
was worth while and if they make
their life aims come up to the ideal
which the speaker presented, their
lives are sure to BE we'll spent and
.a.Ae FOR each u place in the affairs
Of lie.
1t was not SO much Prof. Waldron :
oratory that gave to those who listen
ed he impression which they receiv,
ed, although he is one oG the best
speakers that Langdon has ever
known. But he has the power GOV
crsei by many Of holding his audi
ence. 1t was not just tins older one
OF the audience who listened, but tn
Younger ones, the children forgot t,
tidget around and were absorbed b,
what was being said.
The Ioa&s. SOUGHT diplomas wer
presented t. the seniors who had com
pIeted the four year course by MIR
c. L. Johnston, president Of the schoo
f board. A special prize of a ten dolla
gold piece was also awarded to Mis-
!, Cecil Pease, for her essay on Ora
Hygiene We also state that tn
faculty announces there viii! be sev
! eral essay and debate special prize
. offered to students of the high schoc
for the ensuing year
;, At the close Of the exercises at tn
:, Opera House the class were entertain
y ed at the home of Mr. and Mrs. C. Z
y Johnston, the rooms in which the re
:, freshments were served being decor
. ated with pink roses.
