Nothing 60 successfully brings out tho peoplo of Bed Cloud as something connected with the public schools This was noticenble last evening. Not withstanding tho threatening rain, the opera house was literally packed with a throng eager to do homage to the f urteen young muti and women who graduated from our high school Tho occasion was tlio eievenui an nual eeintiioncomcnt. Tho graduating class consisted of live boys and nine giil-i who had reached the resting place on life's road ordinarily culled com mencement ;the commencement of their real live?. Tho names of tho fourteen Graduates aro Edward D. Piatt. 11. Earl Pond, Lawrence L Pierce, Boy T. Phelps, Sherwood L. Albright, Agnes W. Brown, Ethel Hosmer, Grace Skjel ver, Ida Pearl Kinscl, Jessie O. Hen derson, Lorenn M. Nustein, Maule L. Wells, Myra May Grifietb, Nellie Ger trude Fort. Henceforth their footsteps will not bo guided by a teacher nenr so gentle and painstaking in his efforts, but one which will bring thorn to a sudden realization of a mistako after it has been made. This teacher is actual oxperio ce. Their parents, relatives and friends were all presoiit to show their interest in and appreciation of their hard school work, and oiler them their congratulations on their success ful closing of their school lifu. It was indeed a beautiful sight and one calcu lated never to be f'Ji gotten by tho par ticipants The stngo and iudeed al most the entire opera house had tin- derwojta change in appearance as by the hand of some magician iu a faiiy laud. The class colors, pink and green, covered everything and the dec orations of dowers were such as were never before seen on an occasion of a like character iu the city, but ihu handsomest decoration of the entire stage was tho hovy of young graduates who occupied prominent and conspic uous positions on tlio stage. Youth, beauty, and manhood's strength, look ing with eager eyes toward the future and reaily to grapple with tho prob lems of life by reason of a trained fac ulty 111 ad t the crowning setting of the stage one that is never to bo forgotten by those who had gone there to witness the occasion. The program as published last week was 1 endured from the instrumental solo by Miss L noun M. Nustein at the top to the benediction by Uev. 11 A. ll.irnes at tin; bottom without an inci dent to uuti the proceeding, and each aiidovciy number was roi.dircd iu a inaiinei that showed only too well how carefully the training of these young uiiudn had been attended to by the var ious teachers who had had them in charge since their school days began. We would like to have taken each in dmdual number on the program and said something of it each was worthy but time and space forbids, and hence wo will simply have to refer to them as a whole. Without exception tho members of the class enunciated distinctly, and miido tlio most of their elocutionary powers. Every word they uttered was plainly heard in every portion of the hull, and each received a genorous amount, of applause. The music throughout the program was excellont and well rendeied. George 1. Kidloy, superintendent of the sclu.olfl presented the diplomas and us each graduate received his or her diploma a look of satisfaction settled over their faces as they realized that their schooldays were over, and still a look of sorrow as they appeared to re tili.u that the fourteen who had been continually together for the past few yeats would part with that chsig, probably never to meet again in uis world. Tho tlowers, lust but not least, received by the diiTeront. members of tho class wero tho most beautiful and tho quantity, tho largest that was evor scon on a like occasion in this city, Flowers wero stacked in piles all ovor tho stage, and they came from admir ing f 1 lends, not only in Red Cloud, but from other places. Many of thorn were of a rare and exquisite nature and had been purchased utgrconhouses iu Denver, Omaha, and other cities. After the graduation exercises were over the graduating class were taken in hand by tho alumni and escc-Tted to tho Bon Ton restaurant whoro a sumps tuous repast had been prepared for their benefit. Tho menu prepured was 0110 woll calculated to cuuso the thoughts to turn from tho exciting thoughts of tho past few hours and realize that the real lifo was before them, and the way they foil to and did juitieo to tho ediblesjwould lead one to heliovolhat delivering orations helps tlio appetite wondei fully, B.
