Flying Colors
The Oats Park school auditorium
was filled to overflowing Friday
evening when Fallon's first mid-year
graduating class went out from the
elementary schools. Thirty bright
faced youngsters constituted the
class which WIS remarkable in many
ways and ELECTED a great deal of
favorable comment from those at
tending the exercises. 1t was a CO.'S
mopolitan, bright faced aggregation
of juveniles and the parts taken by
the several who participated in the
program were performed in a man
ner that showed extraordinary tai
ent. Carlton Ferguson, 13-year old
son of Mr.. and Mrs. ]. W. Ferguson,
gave the salutatory address in the
course of which he referred in ten
der strain to teacher and parent,
being both an appreciatiye and ap-
preciated little speaker evidencing
qualities that developed in normal
way as the years pass will make for
success in life. He was followed by
Isabel Loring, daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. h. b. Lcring who gave the
class prophesy This little miss is
also 13 years of age but proved
highly developed humorous quail
ties when she depicted one by one
her 29 classmates as of a decade
hence. Her story was of great ex-
cellence and developed many a
laugh. Betty Shaw. daughter OF
Mr.. and Mrs. w F. Shaw, who is
but IL years of age. proved herself
something of prodigy in her class
valedictory, dealing out sage truisms
after the fashion of mature philos-
opher. Miss Shaw is also possessed
of considerable oratorical powers
and is altogether very charming
little parsonage.
Justice of the State Supreme
Court 4. A. Ducker who counts a
large number of the residents of this
city as his personal friends gave the
class address which was remarkably
free from advice the judge giving as
his reason for reticence in proffering
advice the fact that most people act
at variance with free counsel and he
confined his talk very largely to an
eulogy of the class and its truly re-
markable personnel and to the
splendid disposition of Fallon school
patrons TO do the needful things in
building up a system of public
schools that are unexcelled any
where.
Class songs were rendered by the
entire class which constituted a
chorus that fairly filled the school
auditorium with melody, rejecting
long period of skillful training by
Miss Irma Bendle, the preceptor.
Prof. J. ]. Beatty, city superin-
tendent of schools, gave the fare
well talk to the class, speaking q
full measure of appreciation of the
graduates by the teaching staff OF
the school and expressing a COM
plete confidence in the certitude oi
success for those who have just
completed their elementary school
studies.
Mrs. e. e. Cam, clerk of the Fal-
Ion school board. followed with the
presentation of diplomas, thus COM
pleting commencement exercises that
have never been excelled in interest
since Fallon's schools have been
turning out graduating classes.
