The thirteenth annual commence
ment of the Valentine High School
was held Friday evening , May 20 ,
190i , in the M. E. church in this
city. The church was tastefully
decorated with the class colors
scarlet and cream. From the
round window in the west end of
church , draperies were hung to the
window on each side. The space
between the two windows was cov
ered with cream , on which was
placed a large scarlet shield , the
class emblem. The shield stood
in the middle of the class motto
"We Finish to Begin. " Three
large groups of flowers stood on
the platform adding fragrance and
color to the already beautiful deco
rations.
At a little after eight the gradu
ating class , led by Prof. K. H.
Watson , M. V. Nicholson , presi
dent of the school board , and Rev.
Carpenter , marched in to the
strains of the entrance march
"Wajdmere , " played by Miss
Zadia Elliott. After the invoca
tion by Rev. Carpenter , a beauti
ful instrumental solo , the "War
Rhapsodic , " was rendered by Miss
Ednah McDonald.
Next followed three orations
"Untrod Paths" by Alfred Lewis ,
Jr. , "School Day Reminiscences"
by Nellie F. Easley , and "Abou
Ben Adhem's Tribe" by Elizabeth
J. Hobson. W. B. Hartigan then
sung the solo , "For All Eternity"
which was most excellently given.
Three more orations followed
"tfhe-Other Side" by > Tellie J.
Collett , "Laura E. Richards" by
Lena I. McCrea , and "Geology of
Cherry County" by Floyd M.
Pettycrew.
"The Sunflower Dance"
an in
strumental duet was rendered by
Miss Gertrude Quigley and Miss
Mabel Helzer.
This was followed' by two
orations "My Valentine" by Es-
tella F. Spratt , and "The Centen
nial Celebration of the Louisiana
Purchase" by James C. Quigley.
The program closed with a solo ,
"Mignon , " by Miss Myrtle Hoi-
comb , and an instrumental duet I
"Wedding of the Winds" by Mes
srs. Webb and Pettycrew , a song
' 'In the Heart of the Mighty Deep"
by Messrs. Kimbell , Hartigan ,
Cumbow and Holsclaw , and the
benediction.
The general opinion of the people
ple is that this class of eight rank
ed among the best that ever gradu
ated out of the Valentine High
School. Much credit is due the
excellent instructors , Prof. Wat
son and Miss Nelson. This was
the eighth class to be graduated
by Prof.Vatson and THE DEMO
CRAT joins in the thanks and con-
congratulations due Mr. Watson
for hi.s excel lent services connected
with this school.
Next year a class of sixteen will
probably be graduated and we
hope that they will come up to the
standard set by the preceding
classes.
The V. H. S. Alumniu held a
reception in theJFraternal hall last
Saturday night in honor of the
graduating class of 1904 : . The hall
was tastefully arranged. A pro
gram was rendered that was enjo. -
ed by all. Letters were read from

colrnb and a song by a ladies quar
tette were most excellently given.
