Large Crowd Attends Com mencement Exercises
 for Senior Class

for the graduating class of Jul nsau High School held in the high school gymnasium last evening in the presence of the families and friends of the graduates, thirty six Seniors received diplomas rep resenting four year of work well done, and effort well repaid
 It was the largest class ever to have been graduated from the Ju- neau High School, exceeding the <srecord made last year, by eight. ''lVAlso, as was pointed out by Grover 9eC. Vim, Treasurer of the Juneau School Board, who presented the diplomas owing to the unexpected absence of R. E. Robertson, it was by far the largest audience ever to attend graduating exercises in Ju- neau and the smallest number of j the Board of Education to be pres ent, M. l.. Merritt and MT Robert son both being out of town.
 The Rev. John A. Glasse gave an entertaining and very original talk as the commencement ad- dress, beginning by calling it an Alaskan bedtime story and going back to the time seventeen or eighteen years ago when father Time looked into the cradles where the various graduates were infants, some in Europe, some in the east ern part of the United States and others in various places in Alaska and the states, all to land eventu- ally in the Juneau High School. He then went on to class meet ing at which the various mem bers~ expressed theirsin di vi d u a ideas as to what constituted suc- cess, with the final member say ing that character was the import ant thing, and explaining why. The other members agreed and as a conclusion, The Rev. Chase said they all married and lived happily ever after, credit to their coun- try, their school, their homes, fam- llleS and themselves.
 ~ Those whose high scholarship won commendation and awards were announced by City Superin- -tendent R. s. Raven. Gordon Ing man, whose scholarship was the highest in the class, was pro- Ynounced the Valedictorian and Miss Doris Ulrich, with the second high est scholarship was awarded the position of Salutatorian. Two oth- CTS, whose meritorious scholarship deserved mention were, in the or der of their scholastic rank, Olavi V. Kukkola and Theodore Huns -bedt, according to MT. Raven. The four stood very close together and had done outstanding work during their high school careers, he de- >clared.
 MT Raven also awarded the scholarships presented each year since their inception three years ago, to two girls of the class by the Juneau Woman's Club and the Business and Professional Women's Club. Miss Doris Ulrich was awarded that of the Juneau Woman's Club and Miss Chede Paul received that of the Busi- ness and Professional Womens Club.

Raven as follows: Theodore Huns bedt, Gordon Ingman, Roy Jack son. George Karabelnikoff, Olavi Kukkola, Miss Ellen Mize, Billy Nikish, Miss Chede Paul, Miss Doris Ulrich and Miss Virginia Ul- -~rich.
 MT. Vim announced the winners of the Shafer fountain pen given by the Butler -Mauro drug store to the persons at whose name the large clock in the window of the store stopped, as Miss Thelma Bod ding and because his name had been left off the clock through an oversight, a Schaffer pencil was given to Mark Lee.
 The Rev. c. E. Rice gave a beau tiful invocation at the beginning of the evening and the musical selec- tions contributed by the Senior or chestra and the Girls Sextette were enjoyable additions to the program. An atmosphere Of happy friendliness pervaded the evening and none of the melancholy so oft- en associated with graduating ex- ercises was apparent.
 Following the presentation or d. plomas the graduates in their som- Der grey caps and gowns marched down from the stage to the man floor to receive the good wishes lilies and friends.
