Once morn our high sehoel has
shown its etlleieney by sanding out an
other giaduating class full of life and
hopu lilted for the rriilitirs of piaotieal
existence. 'I'ho progiam us curried
out wns quite a divergency from the
former exercises. Wednesday night
was class day, Thursday night com
mencement proper and the Alumni
banquet. Wednesday night the opera
house was tilled to its utmost capacity
at 8.30 with the relatives and fri-nda
of the class noxiously waiting the time
when each should go through the or
deal and becomo conqueror or con

to the confidence of their tenchers and

Departing from the traditional policy
of "our modesty," "you'll forgive mis
takes," etc., she showed that this was
an exceptional class tho most cul

century class and then showed their
chief virtue to be their utter lack of
egotistical tendencies. She followed
her salutatory with a recital from
David Harum. She showed herself to

Alive to the sociological problems of
tlio present day, Hud McCiine forcibly

Count Tolstoi and traced out the io-

Time is a wonderful producer of
ehungn, developing the human miud to
such an extent enabling it to forge
thoughts of such power that when
fitly ezpr ssed they bocotne like tho
calls of n trumpet in the cars of man

destinies of generations and nations.
Tho formation of tho great steel trust,
the association of gigantic labor organ
izations attracted the practical mind of
W. Leigh Pope and his discourse of
"Combination ot Powci" met the ap
proval of tho entire audience.
Originality creeps out in every move

Miss Mabel K, Ueckwith drew up tho
formal papers of the "Class Will" bo
ing the last will and testament signed
whilo still in a sanu condition of

showed considerable thought as well
as originality and Miss Ueckwith is to

Tho musical element of the program
was well lepresentfd by Miss .) dinette
Dvmirt. Miss Lillian Smith unit Mr (
S.JAIbright, the more mention of whoso

talent.
Thursday night the graduation ex
orcises' proper commenced with a boau-
tiful solo ronderod by Mis Dysart
entitled, "Angel's Serenade." then
followed the invocation by Rev. J. II.
N. Cobb of the M. E. church. Superin
tendent Sams then announced that the
pcaker of the evening, Dr. Fletcher
Wharton had missed his train and was
unablo to bo present. This was the
only disappointment connected with
tho exercises this year. A musical
program consisting of the very best
solos, duets and qui.rtcts was substi
tuted wherein Miss Dysart, Miss Smith,
Mrs. Uaum, L. P. and G. S. Albright
were the performers, and while regrots
wero expressed at the non-appearance
of tho speaker, the mnsio wns highly
satisfactory. John S. Dwight says:
"We need somo ever-present, ever
welcoming influence that shall in
sensibly tono down our self-asserting
and avgrossivo manners, round off
the sharp, oflonsivo angularity of
character, subdue aud harmonize the
free and ceaseloss conflict of opinions,
warm out tho gonial individual hu
manity of each and every unit of
society, lest he becomo a mero member
of a party, or a shaier ot a business or
fashion " Surely those who listened
to tho musical of Thursday night will
appreciate thoso words f Mr. Dwight.
Prof. II. L. Sams tbon in wolhcbesen
words addressed tbo class upon the
Mr. C. F. Cnther on behalf of the
board of education then presented the
class with their well-earned diplomas.
Among the good things ho said that
they wero educated by tho public and
tho public had a right to expect from
thni their very best talonts and
achievements; thnt tho public would
be roipensive to any dUplny of merit.
Ha thon called attention to tho class
motto, Non l'ALMA sine i.AiuiitK, and
pointed out the fnctthat life's victotios
weie not attained by mere accident;
that ono must strive with the whole
soul of his being if ho would trium
phantly ginsp tho palm.
Floral emblems were then given and
the school life of class 1001 was cndeiL
Hihl here permit in tho liberty to
siy a few words in ccomia of our high
school toucher. In Prof. Sams, Miss
von Pilsum and Miss Schneller we unvo
a corps of instructors which it is safo
to say has never been excelled on
equalled sluco tho foundation of lho
school. While in times past there has
been individual preceptors who wero
unquestionably proficient, yet at tho
same timo as a whole the faculty has
never boon so strong. Wo hnvo threo
of the vory best instructors, each ono
spoclally adapted, specially equipped
and specially qualified for developing
and moulding tho character of the
young, which after all ia tho true
education.
The twelfth annual alumni banquet
was held in tho Masonic hall immedi
ately after the exercises in the opora
house and was tho most successful af
fair in tho history of the association,
Kach person present soemed to feel tbo
responsibility of ontortaining and as a
result the meeting was a brilliant
success. Music, laughter, reparteo,
mirth and pleastiro wero all mixed to
gether in harmonious confusion. The
custom of banqueting the graduates is
a commondablo feature of the exer
cises and is a fitting culmination of tbo
process incident to the joys of student
life. The following were tho toasts:
