The L'Anse sentinel. (L'Anse, L.S., Mich.) 18??-current, 1918-06-22
EX-GOVERNOR FERRIS
WAS A GREAT TREAT.

This week will be we'll remembered
by six girls and one young man of
L'Anse, for on Tuesday they received
their diplomas proclaiming that they
had completed the required course of
study at the L'Anse high school.
Those who finished the course this
year are the Misses Genevieve Stack,
Anna Sands, Beatrice Sanregret, Glad
VS. Ford, Albertina Duchenno and Mil
dred Granger and Raishe w. Menge
The class exercises were held Mon
day evening and though short were as
fine as any we have seen put on any
where.
First was an instrumental solo by
Miss Neimark, after which in well
chosen words Anna Sands delivered
the salutatory, welcoming the public
to the exercises. Following this
Mildred Granger gave q talk on
Hoover and Food Conservation" in
which she presented some interesting
arguments as to what we should save
in foodstuffs and why we should save
them. Then Gladys Ford, in clear,
concise language, spoke on (tbe sub
ject of Americans of Today" after
which a vocal solo was rendered by
Anna Sands.
Then followed the class prophecy
by Beatrice Sanregret,in which she
portrayed her classmates in interest
ing roles five years from now. An
instrumental solo was then given, af-
ter which the class will was read by
Albertina Duchenno. Following this
the valedictory, or closing talk, was
given by Miss Genevieve Stack, after
which the high school chorus rendered
two very fine selections, concluding
the exercises.
ThoseAgho took part in the exercis-
es did EneS and are to be very proper
ly congratulated. They did credit to
their instructors and their parents
and friends have good reason to feel
proud Of them. We all hope that
they will continue to do their best in
the big game OF lie, knowing that the
best wishes Of those who are congrat-
ulating them now will always be
with them.
For many years the people Of this
vicinity have been looking forward to
hearing Ex-Governor Ferris speak in
LAnse, and they were not disappoint-
ed in him when he delivered the COM
mencement address Tuesday evening.
Taking rs his subject the question,
whats Worth While?" Mr.. Ferris
kept his vast audience in a very at
tentive attitude by his splendid mix
ture of humor and wisdom, delivering
what we believe to be the best adj
dress the people of L'Anse as body
have ever listened to. After the
commencement talk, he took few
minutes to speak on the war situation,
and he gave more truthful and con-
vincing facts in the four or five min
utes that he spoke on this question
than most people could sum up in
four or five hours.
Mr.. Ferris voiced the opinion that
the war is not going to be short af-
fair, and that the people were going
to have the conflict brought home to
them more convincingly before a
great deal Of time has elapsed In
pleading that we give every cent VIC
have, if necessary, for worthy wat
causes, he advised that there be nc
halfway measures, and that by the
time the Tenth Liberty Loan came
around not to start looking for con-
gresham who would vote for peace
at any price. "Let US keep at it,
said the ex-governor, until the Stars
and Stripes follows our boys into
Berlin"
Musical numbers were rendered
Tuesday evening by Hayden's orches.
ira and Mrs. George Nester, voca
selections being given by Miss Ruth
Thorsen and the graduates Supt
Cross presented the class, John A
Hickey presenting the diplomas.
In keeping with the times, the aud
ence opened the exercises by singing
''The Star Spangled Banner" closing

ica."
After the program Tuesday even
