twenty-five Graduate
From Eighth Grade

eighth grade graduation exercises
for the pupils of the Jackson
County schools who were sue
ceSStul in passing their examina-
tions which were held at differ
ent points over the county a few
weeks back.
There were twenty-five gradu-
ateS from the different schools.
but only six were able to be pres
ent at the exercises, they being
Miss Nina Lobdell of Cotton
wood, Misses Christina Krovoza
and Grace Clark of the Hughes
school, Miss Edith Johnson of the
Renning school, and the Misses
May ArnSten and Beryl M. Lee
dom OF the Kadoka school, Coun-
ty Superintendent Dubois who
had charge of the exercises, had
prepared a very elaborate pro-
gram for the occasion, and in the
large audience which completely
filled the hall, everyone expressed
themselves as being highly enter
tanned by the different numbers
rendered on the program. Es-
peClal mention is due our local
musicians who so ably assisted
IN furnishing the music for the
occasion, and the duet by Mrs.
.. E. Stuart and Mr.. ]. G. Pease,
with Miss Olive Milliken accom-
panylne, as we'll as the vocal solo
by Mrs. Stuart, were received en-
Enthusiastically by the hearers.
The address of the evening was
delivered by President H. M.
Gage of Huron College, on his
subject of Labor" and never
during the life of the writer have
we had the pleasure of listening
to a more inspiring and encour-
ing address than the one given
by Mr. Gage. He is rapid fire
talker, makes every point of his
argument plain, and his entire
talk and words of advice to the
graduates present cannot but help
to bring about a desire for a bet
ter living of this life and an en-
couraeement for every one of US
to grasp the many wonderful op-
portunities offered us by the
word of his subject, Labor.
In closing this little mention
upon the part of the Press of the
1917 graduating exercises for the
Jackson county schools, we desire
to admonish the twenty-five grad
uates who have just closed their
careers as pupils of the common
schools, to push forward-heed
the advice given by President
Gage and give the same due
dlli9ent labor to the high school
studies which you will soon per-
sue, as you did to the common
school branches, and after the
successful completion of them,
you will find place open i'm the
big world Offering you a golden
opportunity in return for the SER
vices which you will know how
to render.
In few well chosen words
