ating members of the class, The ex-
ercises were opened with a piano solo,
Hungarian Rhapsodie No IL" by
List, played by Miss Hazel Greenlee.
The Rev Mr.. Chamberlain offered
the invocation. Mr.. Ward French
sang two beautiful songs, 1.-THE Sea-
by Mcdowell and 1.-THE Eagle" by
Busch. He was accompanied by Mrs.
French. Mr. +. o. Sisson made the
address, speaking more to his audi
ence than the graduate upon, "What
Have We Done for the Graduate. ?"
He commended the schools systems
of country as being superior to any
other with but one flaw, the youth
is not fully prepared to take up his
battle with life with the education
afforded him in the public schools.
The lack of thoroughness is the only
weak point in the public school edu-
cation.
Following Mr.. Sisson's address Mr..
Zu Tavern played two selections up
on the harp, "Sweet Spirit Hear My
Prayer" by Aberthuer and "Mur-
muring Waves" by Wallace. Mr..
Zu Tavern's artistic ability was never
shown to greater advantage than in
these two beautiful compositions The
diplomas were presented by Mr. o. o.
Haga, President of the Board of Ed
ucation. The exercises were conclu-
ded with the benediction pronounced
by Archdeacon Chamberlain.
