graduating scenes are impossible
and unknown. Those vacant
chairs spoke eloquently of the
valor and courage and patriotism,
not alone Of the three who are
gone to the colors, but of those
who would have gone and of the
loyal Womanhood of the girls left
at home. Those three are Floyd
Dickman, brennan Douglass and
William Boulder.
The exercises throughout we're
of high order. Self possession,
clear ideas, fearlessly expressed,
marked every participant ON the
program as a we'll trained, we'll
balanced student.
OF the program in detail we
need not speak. Every part
seemed perfection, every actor
was as if born to the part. Every
thought, word and act was in
tune with the time, the place and
the program.
To the members of the Junior
and other grades it was fraught
with many minor Incidents I'M
noticed by the general public. To
all it was a delight, because of
the many local references, the pit
and pith of the many PERSONAL
tiles, scintillating through the
successive parts. Dull indeed
were those who did or could wit
ness it all and not feel a thrill of
personal delight, of local pride
and of youthful "reminiscences of
the evening.
Supt. Graham in presenting the
class to the board OF education
for graduation, gave expression

work as preparation for gradu-
alton, for citizenship, and for the
worlds work.
j. S. McGavren for the twen-
tieth time accepted the class and
in a few we'll chosen sentences,
deliberately framed, accepted the
class, and presented the diplomas.
The musical features were of
course no small part Of the pleas
Iures of the evening.
