MORRIS SCHOOLS WILL
HAVE COMMENCEMENT
Exercises Will Be Held Tonight at
Orpheum Theatre. Excellent
Program

Another epoch in the history of the
local public schols closes with the
graduating exercises which will be
held in the Orpheum Theatre this
evening, Friday. The 1919 class is
composed of twenty-four young men
and women, who will be presented
with their diplomas at that time by
J. H. Adams. vice president of the
Board of Education.
Inasmuch as the citizens of Nor
ris and Independent School District
No. 1, take great pride in the educa-
tiOnal facilities and the achievements
of the schools in Morris, commence
ment has become one of the most i'm
portant annual events in this city.
1t is gratifying to learn that so
many young people are entitled to
diplomas this year. 1t means that
they have acquired an education suff1-
cient to fit them to engage in ordin-
ary vocations of life, altho many Of
them no doubt intend to further
complete their education in colleges
or universities of the state. The
products of the Morris High School
speak in no little degree for the
efficient school work that is being
done here and it is we'll known that
no diploma is issued at this school
unless the recipient has earned and
is deserving of it.
The commencement address will be
delivered by Hon. J. A. 0. Preus,
state auditor, and Mr.. Preus' reputa-
tion as an orator means that the
people Of Morris and vicinity will
hear something good.
The program for the evening is as
