COMMENCEMENT DAY EXERCISESIN
THIRTEENTH JUDICIAL DIST. COURT

tually appeared like he was sore
about something. You've seen people
like that.
He requested the Glass to assume
a perpendicular position and then
the silence became oppressive. Start
ing at the head of the class he begun
asking each of them questions and
for time it looked like the whole
class would funk But they didn't
and diplomas and scholarships were
awarded to them in a very graceful
manner.
Considered as a commencement adj
dress that speech Saturday after
noon was the weeds. There wasn't
a single funny story in it and you
could actually understand what he
was talking about. Being a paroled
school teacher myself l can usually
repeat Commencement Addresses a
head of the speaker as / know them
by heart from reading Gems of Lit
erature", but not that one.
Still, on the second thought, every
thing he said was right to the point,
even if it was somewhat harsh for
such happy occasion. In a way it
was like attending a fancy ball, there
was nothing left to the imagination.
After receiving their diplomas each
of the graduates delivered a short
valedictory address and left on short
train tours. Messrs. Taylor Bengart
and Shirley going to Middleton Col
lege at Deer Lodge, and Arthur Chen
ey to "Dorr Academy at Miles City.
Before they left Sheriff Albert pre-
scented each of them with beautiful
pair of silver mounted bracelets with
chains on them. Undersheriff Tracy
Mccall accompanied the boys to see
that their trip was safe and pleasant.
AS closing number a short musi-
cal programme was given in honor of
the graduates, the audience joining
in singing, "You Amt Learnt Moth
in YETI
Arthur Cheney, age II, will devote
four years at Miles City studying art
and discipline. He completed his
studies in the school of Bnrglarly and
then took a postgraduate course in
Larceny, where he showed real apti-
tude in his studies. Lots of people
think that there are better opportun-
tiles in the east than in the west
even.
Marion Shirley and Alfred Tay-
lor graduated from the Academy of
Burglary" Both were adept stu
dents and both plan to spend consid-
cradle time at Deer Lodge specialize
ing in painting painting auto lie
ense plates. Both also plan to pur-
sue course in archaeology and make
a thorough study of rocks and the
interior of various rock formations.
To do so, of course, they will have
to crush a few tons of rock each day.
Jacob Bengart graduated from the
college of Robbery. Jesse James
was crude by the side of Jake. Jesee
simply didn't know his stuff when
compared with the 24-year-old ban
dit who made 'em stick 'em up and
then escaped no horse in these DAYS
of carburators, and detours. Many of
the younger generation think that
young Lochinvar came out of the
west in bi-plane; that Sheridan rode
to Winchester in Straight Eight;
and that Paul Revere made his fam
Gus midnight ride on bicycle Not
so, they and Jake Bengart used
horses, everyone. Anyone who can
ride horse from Bearcreek to Bel
fry without following the road will,
without doubt, succeed as highway
engineer. That's the course Jake
plans on takin' up. He will probably
take post graduate course in rock
crushing also as Deer Lodge offers
a fine course in that branch of learn
ing.
Now with Marion Shirley is was
different. For a 26-year-old boy he
shows that he is at least up-to-date.
He borrows Nash and the thing was
so slow it reminded him of Dodge.
He exchanged it for a baby Overland
and it went caflooe down near Fox
so he walked into Red Lodge and got
him Chevrolet. Marion was always
fastidious. He likes good car. Mind
you he made all these exchanges
while the owner was either shopping,
loafing or snoozing. Marion is a bus
mess man.
Thus ends bedtime story founded
too much on fact. 1t is addressed to
and written for the benefit of every
child in Carbon county between the
age of five and ninety-five. 1t has
little literary merit, but anyone who
reads it without emotion is hopeless
case. There is an addition being
