TWENTY THREE GRADUATES
Training School Turns Out Nice Class
Buffers Speaks

The twelfth annual commencement
of the Vernon County Teachers Train
ing School was held at the NJ. F..
church on Thursday evening, June II.
In spite of the showers and heat a
crowded house awaited the opening of
the program and remained to enjoy
one of the best commandments ever
held in the city.
Captain CE.Butters, notwithstand-
ing long vacation from speaking,
was in his best and gave an extremely
interesting and helpful talk enriched
with the experiences of his months
of service in France and Germany.
The audience greeted the speaker with
continued applause as he took the ros-
trum and assured his hearers that
Vernon was the spot of spots in his
heart. The Captain took as his topic
&c. o. No. 1."(General orders) and
advised the class to form G.. o. No. /
and like an army organization follow
these orders as guide until another
advanced set was found. Among his
most telling figures was that in which
he likened our journey through life
to the trip of an oarsman in a row.
boat, who travels backward guiding
himself by the points he has passed.
The application is a sermon in itself
The description OF French places and
conditions was especially interesting.
Probably no more interesting or able
commencement address has ever been
delivered in the city.
The vocal trio composed of Mr.. and
Mrs. c. A. Parker and Miss Faye
Smith was especially pleasing and re-
ceived a warm approval from the au-
dience. The school songs were excel
lent and the Training School Glee Club
deserves commentator on its part Of
the program.
Twenty three people received diplo-
mas and the congratulations of rela-
tives and friends as they entered upon
their chosen profession, Prin. A. f.
Smith presenting the sheepskins. Rev.
j jacobson spoke the invocation and
Rev. E. Harris the benediction.
