COMMENCEMENT EXERClSES
LAST THURSDAY NIoHT

Last Thursday night the Grand Ma
rails High School graduated the, lar
gest class in it's history-nine pupils
having successfully completed the
course.
The program came off as adver-
tised with the exception of the
violin solos-the player being alb
sent.
Rose Zimmerman, who had the hon
o. of being the salutatorian, deliver
fed an essay on "The Advancement Of
Civilization" which was a credit to
herself and her teachers.
Alvin Engelson delivered the class
prophecy. He has a good voice for
speaking, and amused the audience
with a recital of what his vivid i'm
aginatiion pictured night come to
pass. With that voice and that de-
livery, we may have occasion to print
something about him in later years.
Alma Isaacson was the salutator-
ian and delivered an essay on "Wo-
man Suffrage" which covered the
subject and was we'll received.
The superintendent, H. E. Qualheim,
made good talk on the school and
school work, praised the board for
their cooperation at all times in his
efforts to make this good school,
told the people good-by in a few we'll
chosen remarks in which he an
nounced his intention to quit the
teaching profession, and said that he
had at all times felt that the people
here were supporting him in his de-
termination to have every pupil ad-
vance on his merit only
B. F. Fowler, a Two Harbors at
torrey, delivered the commencement
address. This honor he was on the
point of declining when he was first
notified, as it was little out of his
line, SO he informed the audience.
Mrs. Fowler, who was present, being
aware of his CONSERVATION, had Emil
Nelson, the Lake County sheriff, come
along with them to make sure that
the star number would come off ac-
cording to schedule. (This is not
verbatim report Of Mr.. Fowler's re-
marks.) His subject wished upon
him, was Equipment, and consider
ing his lack of it, according to him
self, the audience thought he did
very we'll. He spoke in humorous
strain, but gave expression to some
serious thought and gave a lot of
good advice to the graduates, as we'll
as to the other school pupils and par
ents, eulogizing the public schools
and characterizing them as the great
est melting pot or assimilating force
in the world. He also eulogized the
teachers and the teaching profession,
advocating the setting aside of one
day out of each year for Teachers
Day." so that the public would bet-
ter realize the Importance of that
work, and that the individuals would
have an opportunity to show respect
for the ones to whom they gladly
give credit for a large part of what
they have accomplished in this
