and more eligible, made the principal
address and brought out the thot that
unless the people of the United States
rise now in their might the spirit Of
the republic-"That Liberty shall not
perish from the earth will be dead
issue and the United States Of Amer
ica will mean nothing in the Nations
of the world. Carl Erickson asked
men of conscription age to join Com
pany E and go with the boys from,
home.
A feature of the program was the
display of the flags of the allied ma
tons and a prolonged cheer greeted
the assembly Of the flags at the front
Of the stage during the exercises.
A street parade over the business
section of the city was held before
the meeting. Company E, men of,
registration age, patriotic floats and

spectacle and demonstrated that Will
liston has much pentup patriotism.

class advisor were given many words
of praise for their Class Night En-
tertainment.
The Commencement Night Exer-
cises on Friday evening met with an
unusually happy response from prob
ably the largest audience assembled
in the Armory.
The line Of march was very attrac-
tive, as the marchers passed under
the archway made by uplifted flags
held by the girls of the Junior Glass,
all dressed in white.
The salutatorium Grafton by Al
bert Guggedahl, and the valedictorian
oration by Maude Emery merited the
interest and applause each was given.
Rev. p. w. Erickson of Minot in
presenting "The Supreme Quest"
gave a masterly address full of in
spiration and interest.
The music of the evening, under the
direction of Miss Laura Cooper was
of more than usual merit. The girls
Glee Club and the Boys Glee Club,
and both singing as the High School
Chorus were most pleasing. Olive
Halvorsen at the piano, and Losi Mar
mon with her violin received their due
share of appreciation.

ELKS' CONCERT

The fourth entertainment of the
EIks' concert series was given Monday
night at the auditorium, the artists
being Merle Alcock, contralto, and
BechteI Alcock, tenor, and Miss Dor
othy Sublette. accOmpanist. The pro-
gram was made up of solos and duets
and there were some opera arias that
were most acceptable to the audience
that has been hearing not much this
winter but ballads of love and friend
ship and national anthems.
Mr. AIcock sang the tenor solo,
Celeste Aida" that all tenors essay
and most of them with more or less
indifferent success. Mr.. Alcock S
voice is not f1awless and has a few
seamy places in it. but it has a great
deal of volume and range, and for the
most part is exceedingly well ham
died. His forte seems to be the long
held high notes at the close of the
song, which he executes in credit
able manner. He gave a group of
short songs. Spirit Flower, Yesteryear
and The Trumpeter, the last men
toned being about the best of the
songs with the military tone that has
been offered since war songs were
given a place on all concert programs.
Mr.. Alcock's interpretations are ably
done, and the variety of his selections
gave evidence of his versatility
Miss Alcock is so exceptionally
pretty and pleasing ito the eye it
wouldn't make any great difference if
she couldn't sing much. But the fact
is she sings well and looks more than
well. Her voice is contralto that
combines power and sweetness. Her
accent and enunciation add to the
charm of her singing, and while she is
not at all STACEY she has the dra-
matte instinct and spontaneity of ex-
preston. She sang Habanera from
Carmen and two groups of short
songs
Mr.. Alcock and Miss Alcock gave
as duets Wanderers Night Song by
Rubinstein; The Ring" by Dvorak
Home to Our Mountains" from II
Trovatore; "Oh. That We Two Were
Maying." by Gounod, and an old Eng
lish country song
