Twelve New Names Added to the Rolh of
the Red Ootid Hif h School Alumni.
uir ocnooi uutiei iaae.
Tho Tenth Annual Commnnr.AmAni
of tho Rod Cloud High School, held at
the opera house last Friday evening,
was an unusually interesting one by
reason nf tho fact that'thn nlnao
a largo one. Thoy uumborod twelve
exceptionally bright younjr ladies nnd
gentlemen, and their teachers, parents
and in fact tho ontlro community can
wen feel proud of them. Tho crowd
in attendance was fully equal to that
of other years for notwithstanding tho
threatening condition of tho weather
tho opera house was crowded, and tho
Interest in the program if anything
was greater. Tho state was ham!.
somoly decorated and prominently dis
played at tho top of tho drop curtain
was the class motto. "Year Tnnoii
More Than Books," neatly arranged in
the class colors, crimson and white.
Tho program as published was carried
out in detail. On account of tho large
number of them tho orations wero not
delivered, and Instead of tho graduates
seeing how many words thoy could uso
and how much timo thoy could con
sumo in expressing a few thoughts
their efforts wero side-tracked and an
address by Dr. Eugene May of Wash
ington, D. C, had Instead. However
wo think it no more than rlcriit nmi
justice to the graduates that their ora
tions should befgivou to tho public in
some manner and would suggest that
should tho pai ties having chargo of tho
proceeding in future desiro to cut out
mo orations that thoy mako arrange
ments to have them published in at
least ono of the city papors. Dr. May
is a very lluent and able speaker, and
hisaddicss, the subject of which was
"From Cork to Causeway," was very
attentively listened to and well ro-
received. Geo. I. Kelley, supei intend
ont of the schools ptoscntcd tho grad
uates with their diplomas, and it is
needless to say that ho was lust as irlml
to bo ablo to givo a diploma to each as
they J,wcie to receive it, for if there is
ouo thing 11101 e than another he is in
teio3tcd in it is our public schools.
After tho piosontntion of diplomas tho
llower chihhen presented tho gradu
ates with Dowers In boquots, hunches,
wreaths, etc.. given as tokens of esteem
by friends who wero pleased to seo and
appreciated their advancement. Tak
en altogether the class of '00 is a grati
fying reflection on the system of in
struction in uso, tho work of the in
structors and. the accomplishments
of tho students. Another noticeable
featuro was tho number of graduates
that came from other districts outsido
tho city, which speaks woll for our
present school system. After tho
graduating exercises wero over tho
graduates repaired to tho Masonic hall
where a sumptuous lepast had been
prepared for them by tho Red Cloud
High School Alumni and tho fnnntinn
and toasting was kept up until long
after tho hour hand on tho clock had
started on its dowirvard courso, nnd
all ropahed to thoir homes a, tired
though n happy crowd. Tho juniors
gavo tho seniors another banquet on
Monday evening which was u very
pleasant and enjoyablo affair,
