The Glass of 1921" OF the Crystal
Falls High School said its good byes
to it's fellow students and school au-
thorities last Tuesday evening when
the diplomas were handed TO the grad
yates and the school life OF each, so
far as the Crystal Falls schools are
concerned. terminated.
The Class Day exercises were held
In the City Hall Auditorium on Mon
day night with the largest crowd that
has been seen in the auditorium in a
long time in attendance.
The evenings program opened with
a greeting song rendered by the high
school chorus very nicely.
Phyllis Mcneil followed with the
salutatory address and the young lady
showed excellent training in her ora
ton.
The Class History by Mammie Man
nisto covered the entire school year
OF the class members in excellent
style. One couldn't help but be i'm
pressed as the different years were
recorded by the falling of and the ad-
ditions TO the class in its four years
high school life. Many there were
who fell by the wayside but the class
at its graduation was but one less in
number than when 1T started its work.
Melvin Heck, in explaining the class
motto held the attention OF HIS aud
ience closely, his delivery being ex-
cellent
William Ruwitch followed with
the Glass grafton, acquitting himself
with great credit because OF his mas
terful delivery and his careful thot
out discourse.
The Class Poem by Hjalmar PEN
tilla was gem OF the first water
and surprised many who did not
know the young mans taste for poet
ry. His delivery was in low tone
SO that much OF the excellence OF the
poem Was lost to the hearers.
The pahtomime dance by the high
school girls In which they wound
the May pole" was very pretty indeed.
The first effort resulted in a slight
mix-up because OF some of the girls
attempting 10 go fast but on the sec
ond trip this was remedied nicely
and the work done very creditably.
The Glass Prophecy was rather
long drawn out and tiresome because
its counterpart had been enaeed on
one or two previous occasions. This
did not detract from the work OF the
pupils taking part, all OF whom did
we'll.
The Glass viii, read by Louis
Schultz, was we'll rendered and con
tained several pat jokes on the teach
ers and pupils.
In presenting the Glass Memorial
a fountain for the school grounds
Towner Phillips acquitted herself very |
creditably.
The evenings program ended with |
a Valedictory address by Miss Ingred !,
Granberg that showed much thought
and care in preparation.
AS a whole, the exercises we're a.
mong the very best and many an en-.
hand was given the several
persons taking part on the program.

The attendance at the Tuesday night
exercises was not as great as that on
Monday night, there being many va

the seating arrangement on Monday

IN excellent appearance. the girls
carrying large boquets OF roses fur
nished by the board OF education
The music by the chorus and the
vocal selections by Miss Munger were
very we'll received. the latter being
recalled by the very pleased audience.
The Swanson orchestra furnished
music for the evening and were given
a hearty hand.
The address OF the evening was Civ
