The commencement exercises at the
high school auditorium Friday even
ing were attended by large and en-
thusiastic audience. Glasgow people
are justly proud of the growth and
high rank of our local schools.
The class of 1920 is the largest class
that has graduated in Glasgow. Supt.

the following young people: Isabelle
Adams, Dorothy Behner, William Beh-

land, Esther Hovey, Clarence john
son, Ruth Knowles, Erskine Kent, Ma
rie Motzkau, Signe Mattson, Olive
Mckay, Fern Osmundson, Olive Phil
lips, Vera Shoemaker and Marie Will
son.
The music by the girls chorus under
the able direction of Miss Hazel Pow
ell was well rendered as were the vo-
cal solos by Miss Esther Hovey and
Miss Hazel Hurd. Miss Vera Shoe
maker and Miss Olive Mckay each
gave piano solos. These young ladies
have found time to acquire musical
education in addition to their academic
studies and their part on the program
showed marked ability. Miss Margar-
ct Anderson gave two delightful vi
olin selections with piano accompan-
paniment by Miss Eva Anderson.
The address of the evening was
given by Rev. ]. R. Jeffery Of the
Methodist church. His subject, "Day
Dreams" was especially appropriate
to the occasion. He said we do not
know our young people unless we
know the day dreams which lie ir
their hearts for useful and worthy &C
complishments. He showed how the
men who had done remarkable things
had dreamed of them in youth anc
that they were willing to suffer ane
toll for years to make their dreams
come true. His address was full Of
inspiration.
One of the interesting features Of
the evening was the awarding of the
"G's" to various members of the
high school for special attainments

school four years ago, and is open tt
all students. This was the first time
