Class Day and Commencement Exercises

The exercises in the high schoo
assembly last Thursday evening diff
fered from the usual Glass Day pro
gram in several respects but judging
from the laughter and applause, they
were heard with pleasure by the large
audience.
Following the opening number, q
piano duet by Misses Gleed and Elms,
special programs were distributed an
nouncing Commencement exercises
presented by the Freshman class In
order to show the Seniors how il
strains of Marching Through
Georgia" the Seniors CD then marched
in, preceded by Supt. Kerr, represented
by Marven Wickstrom. and followed
by John Stamm, president of the
school board. Phyllis Bauman, as
Frances Gray, saluted those present
in proper style, and Edna Peterson
as Marie Rabdau, gave the class poem.
Bill Twitchell, as Joseph Burke fol-
lowed with sOul-stirring Grafton on
Life" an appropriate song was sung
by the class, and the farewell words
were spoken in a very touching man.
ner by Jim Burke as Edwin Charles.
The superintendent then presented the
class to the president who eloquently
complimented the class upon the COM
pletion of their course in such a salts
factory manner In conclusion, the
members of the class fully lived up to
their motto, "Me for Diploma"
The real Frances Gray then deliv-
cred the salutatory in a very sincere
and pleasing manner, Joseph Burke
humorously recounted the history of
the Class of '21. individually and col
lectively, and Marie Rabdau. as class
poet, recited a very appropriate poem
The Sophomores next took charge
and by means of a wonderful inven-
ton, manipulated by Prof. Allen Rudd,
proceeded to turn each Senior" into
that which his highest ambition most
desired. Some startling transforms
lions took place, most noticeable per-
haps, being that of Vada Hertz, who
desired once more to be a Freshman
but in her eagerness took an overdose
of the professors magic medicine and
reappeared as a charming baby. The
invention had been giving entire salts
faction, but alas! The last Senior,
Frances Gray, was too ambitious in
her longing to be made like Miss Wenz
and completely wrecked the machine
to the CONSERVATION of it's inventor
and the amusement of the spectators.
The duet so unsteady rendered by
the Misses Russell Melin and Homer
Welch was enthusiastically encored,
but evidently their phenomenal sue
cess went to the heads of the perform
ers, for when they reappeared they had
lost, il not their wits, at least their
wigs. Undismayed, however, they an
swered a third call, after which Vada
Hertz proceeded to make known the
last will and testament of the class
and spared the weaknesses of neither
faculty nor students as she read the
various requests.
Edwin Charles, class valedictorian
gave an earnest farewell to the asso-
Citations enjoyed by the class for four
years and seriously, but in his usual
pleasant manner, set forth the aspira-
lions of the class, and the evening
closed with a selection, Moonlight,
pleasantly rendered by Girls Sex
tette.
Those present were invited to in
spect the exhibits of the manual train
ing and domestic science departments
before leaving the building, and many
complimentary remarks were over
heard as the visitors went the rounds.
