The Commencement event for
Wednesday night May 9th, was a
departure from the usual Commence
ment Week exercises and consisted in
the Glass Night Exercises, put on
by the members of the graduating
class, under the supervision of Mrs.
Wilson.
The Class History written by
Alice Summers and illustrated by
Ernest Knaggs was we'll read and
portrayed Both showed originality
and initive. Mr.. Knaggs illustra-
tions shows that he as cartoonist
of no little renown, for an amateur.
Bretzel Harris in his usual fine
oratorical way gave. the Glass Ora
tion entitled "Act Well Your Part !"
The humor Of the program was well
given by Darcy Wilson, in the
Grumbler Grumbles. In this Mr..
Wilson, told the audience just how
the Seniors felt about the members
of the Faculty, more especially Prin-
cipal Harper and Superintendent
Woodford. In order to remind
them of how well they appreciated
their services, substantial and ar
tistic chair was presented to Mr..
Harper with the penalty that he sft
on it one hour each day and medi-
tate on the hard tasks he had assign
ed the Seniors, and to Mr.. Wood
ford a cute cradle, with the penalty
that he rock it and think of the hard
ships that he has inflicted on the
Seniors.
The Glass poem was well present.
ed by Murl Weese, and Miss Ida
Offhaus read the last will and tesla
ment of the Glass of '25, while the
Glass Prophecy written by Miss Avis
linn, was acted out by the men,
bers of the Glass in such a way as
to show bright future for all of
them. After the prophecy the Class
sang the B. H. S. Song, with
touch of sadness as it was their last
opportunity to sing it as High School
students.

After the Female Quartet sang a
selection DR.. Enoch H. Vickers,
Dean of the Political Science Depart
ment of the West Virginia Univer-
sity, delivered the Annual Address
to the Graduates. He was intro
duced by Superintendent Woodford,
who expressed great pleasure in
having the honor to introduce Dr..
Vickers second time to deliver
Commencement Address, which was
at Philippi in 1911. DR.. Vickers
used as his theme, "Our Heritage,
and for thirty five minutes held his
audience in masterful way by show
ing the Heritage that has been hand
ed down to the perfect generations
by the past. By his vivid illustra-
tions he showed that it took centur-
les to accumulate and to a certain ex-
tent perfect the various heritages
given US, that no one man was the
sole giver, and that all our institu-
lions given us by the past should be
guarded and made more perfect by
those who are the possessors, more
especially by the students of today.
He especially charged the Graduates
to do well with that which they have
Inherited and pass it on to future
generations in a better condition
than they found it
The next number on the program
was a selection by the Sextette which
was followed by the presentation Of
the Glass to the Board Of Education
by Principal Harper, who expressed
his confidence in the Glass as they
entered the new fields of endeavor.
The Class was received by President
FELTON,, Of the Board, who in his US
ual masterful way expressed his APP
probation of the cooperation given
the Board and the School by the
citizens, which was possible for the
graduation of such fine class of
young men and young women.

EARLE
VaudeviIIe-Films

Even when the excellence OF
the many bills of the season Is
taken into consideration, the
program at the Earle this week
must be classed as exceptional.
There is not dull act in the
show and at least three Of the
offerings compete for top honors.
1.-The Five Jolly Corks" must
be mentioned first-for sentiment
if no other reason. Here are
a. bunch of old gentlemen rang
ing in years from seventy to
eighty-two, who have no trouble
pleasing the younger generation
with the same antics that en-
deared them to the play-goers OF
bygone dogs. A bi. OF aero
battles. a nifty dance or so, an
instrumental solo and a remark
able performance with the bones"
and these youngsters make their
bow to waves of applause.
Frank Richardson has a bunch
of Jazz songs and he's boy
who knows how to put them over.
His one serious effort was mar
red with two much dr4malics. Ed
die Burrell, Adalon Anger and
May Fair have a novelty number
that embroces some good sing
ing and dancing. VIII Burns
and Jimmy Burchell made the
laughing hit of the show with
their eccentric singing and dane
ing. Cecil Mason and Ber1ice
Shaw offered several graceful
dances and sang one or two
melodies in excellent voice. Lit.

compelled to share the honors
of his offering with a pair Of
