The program as printed in the

Public Schools, was carried out with
unusual promptness and striking eff

parents, as well as the friends of ed

The music was furnished by the
High School Orchestra. led bv Miss
weber, who has been in charge of the
vocal ana instrumental instruction in
the schools for the past year, with
splendid results. The orchestra was
deprived of part of the instruments bv
reason of the absence of one of the
members, who recently moved to an
other state. Yet the rendering of the
selections was highly appreciated.
Inc graduating class was seated in
a crescent reaching across the stage.
while the members of the Board of
Education and speakers were seated
in the rear part of the stage.
Miss Olga Jester delivered the salu- |
tatory and essay in a low but clear
voice, while Miss Margaret Num-, the
of the class, spoke with
and a clearness of under
standing, of her subject, "The Ameri-
can Woman in Politics."
The address of the evening was de-
lived by Hon. Josiah Marvel, of Will

GROWTH Of DURAVT
INDUSTRY ROMANCE
Rise to Prominent Position In

From a little space with a new
car on the top floor at the 1922
National Automobile Show at New
York, Durant Motors, Inc, adj
yaiced to coveted position on the
main floor in the 1928 show.
In this rise lies one of the really
big romances in the automotive
industry

manufacture of automobiles began
that a car has moved from the
top floor to an honor position on
the first floor in the short space
of a year.

In the first twenty was consid
cred almost phenomenal, but 10
view of the other achievements OF
the .Durant organization during
the past year, this feat might be
called only Incidental
The growth of the Durant Mo.
tors. Inc. in the past year has
been remarkable. 1t was only q
little over a. year ago that Durant
produced only one model, the Du,
rant -Four. which was first shown
to the public on August IA, 1921
There was only one complete plant
I'm existence, and that was located
at Long Island City, n. Y.
Today, the Durant organization
comprises six different motor car
units, all of which are on the
market. Eight factories, OF which
all but one, are producing cars
