Glass night exercises were
held in the Public Hall on
Tuesday evening, June 10th.
The largest group of parents,
patrons and friends ever at
tending our class night exer-
cises were very enthusiastic
about the splendid program
presented by the graduates.
All the events of the program
were given in a very novel and
interesting way. The class
history, by Ernest Bradley and
Jennings Baugher, was a rep
resentation of two members
of the class meeting on the
Western plains, discussing the
history of the class. The pre-
sensations, made by Wildsie
Kincaid and Troy Kilby, was a
very splendid and scenic Dutch
sketch. The class prophecy
was particularly well received
by the audience. Picture
slide of the various members of
the class as they would prob
ably appear in 1850, were
flashed on the screen. The
slides were prepared by the
Science department of the
High School.
After the regular exercises
the class presented a playlet,
"The Littlest Bridesmaid" in
splendid fashion. Music was
furnished by the Rising Sun
orchestra.
Much credit is due to Miss
Nutter, head of the English
Department of the High School
for directing and putting over
such a splendid program.

copal Church on Thursday eve
ming, June IL. The invocation
