public vision Each and every function of the week drew a larger hearing
than the new Methodist church could seat and very general and quite
complete satisfaction is expressed at the result in particular and in toto
Commencing with the baccalaureate sermon vhich was fully noted
in last weeks issue following with the class day exercises which are
treated more in detail this week this article deals with the climax

COMMENCEMENT
The formal programs of the week were
rounded off Friday evening with the
commencement exercises in tho Method
i t church There was the usual over-
flowing audience and keenness of in
terest
The program opened with a piano solo
by Mrs W B Mills who gave a very
acceptable rendering of Smythes La
Tarrent de la Montague
Rev A B Carson followed with an
eloquent feeling invocation
In a modest and brief salutatory Miss
Ada May McAninch introduced the
speaker of the evening Dr D F Fox of
Chicago
Dr Fox spoke to the subject The
Neglected Cavalier and it is within
the facts to say that no commencement
speaker who has appeared before the
people of McCook in years agone has ex
celled or outclassed him in any particu
lar It was a superb and masterful ad
dress one to add inches to the chest
expansion of every American citizen
who hears it
The -euphonium numbers which fol
lowed in the writers humble opinion
were the finest in point of interpretation
and execution that Mr F A Pennell
has ever rendered Tho first selection
was a Song to the Evening Star from
Wagners Tannhauser The second
The Rosary a song by E Nevin
The valedictory fell in sound and well
choseutfwords from the lips of Richard
Oscar Green whose standing in the
class of 05 is altogether enviably excel
lent
Secretary C W Barnes of the board
of education in a few earnest words pre
sented the members of the class with
the tangible evidence of their having
completed the prescribed course of the
McCook high school
Pinsutis Good Night Beloved by
Mrs G H Thomas Miss Ida McCarl
Mr S B McLean and Mr J R Mc
Carl and thebrief benediction by Rev
G A Conrad concluded the exercises
which deserve a high position among
the commencements of the McCook
high school

the alumni at the annual reception and
banquet Monday evening May 29th in
the high school building about sixty
being present to enjoy the function The

high ideal of success and a noble plan
of achievement

keenly appreciated and amusing
