A large and ap~preciative audience
gathered at the college auditorium
Saturday evening to witness the eighth
grade graduating exercises of the
Brookings county public schools. Par
ents and school patrons and officers
from many districts in the county
showed their interest by their pres
ence, one family coming twenty-five
miles.
The auditorium was nicely decorated
with class colors and flags which add
ed much to the animated scene.
The program as published in the
last issue of the Register was carried
out. The music by Prof. C~hristensen's
orchestra was pleasing as were also
the vocal solos by Prof. Garnctt Hedge
and Miss Margaret Campbell. The
two readings by Miss Nellie Kendall
were very fine.
The address by DR.. E. c. Perisho
was the feature of the program, and
he took for his theme the class motto:
mot for school, but for life we learn"
He pointed out that an eighth grade
graduate was worth $3.50 per day at
any task, and worth twice that figure
after graduating from high school. His
plea was for higher education among

cation obtainable. Success in life need
no, worry anybody. Learn to do well
that which people want done is the
secret to success. if there be a secret
to success.
Supt. J. w. Browning welcomed the
class into the high schools of the coun-
ty and pointed out the great value of
a higher education in an earnest talk
to the young people.
