Olsen Supt. of Public In struction Presents Diplomas to the Class. The graduating exercises of the class of 1901 which took place in the Assem bly room of the school building on Mon day night were of a very high character. It is seldom that a class as young as the average of this class must have been pass out of school deserving ol" as much praise for meritorious productions as this one. They all took their parts with ease and confidence and each one dis played in the work in hand a depth of thought that would have been credita ble to much older students. The decorations of the stage were as as pretty as would permit, being a diffi cult place to arrange. Above the plat form in a circular form was the motto "On the Threshold." A most sensible English motto showing the good sense of the class. Flags and flowers relieved the monotony of the walls and made the place quite attractive. Neatly printed programs were placed on each chair, so that the audience was well supplied and the exercises proceed ed without announcement. The chorus sang "Let Our Voices be Glad" a piece of much merit and well produced. The salutatonan, Miss Viola Heimer dmger in a few well chosen wo^ds wel comed the audience to the class exercis es. Her address was upon the subject of "College Settlements" which 8he traced down from the time of the man who offered himself aud his money to the Vicar of Wakefield for the purpose assisting in the uplifting of the meritor ious poor, down to the universal system which is reaching out even into Japan and China. She cited instances of set tlements iu Minneapolis and of the Hull House in Chicago and told how the work was carried on. It was a thoroughly practical essay and showed ability to concentrate thought. E I A M. RHODE. Miss Rhode had a difficult subject to handle "The Magic of Music" and the wonder was what she was going to do with it, but &he treated it in a very orig inal manner, telling of the power of mu sic in the hands of a skilled musician to move the sympathies" of all conditions of men and often beasts. Music could be found in all the sounds of nature, in the birds, iu the trees, the waters of the streams and the ocean and even in the destructive cyclone. She cited many noted authors quoting some very fine passages and told how music was a source of inspiration to the soldier lift ing up his heart oh the wearisome march and giving him courage and inspiration in time of battle, how it effects cures of diseases and closed by saying that it makes us conscious of what we ought to do and is one of the most glorious gifts of God. Misses Olsen and Heimerdinger ren dered a very beautiful production—a pi ano duet: "American Folk Meiody." Being members of the class the piece was greatly appreciated but much of the beauty of it was lost because of the dis turbance in the audience. ROY C. SEITER. Mr. Seiter is the only male member of the class and his oration "Room at the Top" was quite appropriate. He has a splendid voice and used it to good advantage. The gist of his theme was that the country is crowded with quack doctors and pettafogmg lawyers satisfied to be mediocre in the pursuits of life and so live and die on a very low plain some get a little higher but only a few suc ceed in reaching the real top. He cited a number of instances where men had risen above the discouragements of mis fortune and poverty and were now at the very top. Some he said, have advant ages but never pursue' them, others cie ate advantages but fail to make any practical use of them. He then recited in a very pleasing manner, a poem en titled "Room at the Top." Mr. Seiter should follow up his talent for speaking and singing for he also sang that heavy banatone solo "The Bandolero" and did it with surprising success, his tones be ing rich and full, pleasing the entire audience. V-!£§j£: MABEL MCLENNAN. HV-^2£V\E The class Historian told many of the secrets of the class apd the struggle it m*ti^?msmti&& Mhm VOLUME XXI1T. SWW ULM, BKOW N COUKTY, MINN"., WEDNESDAY, N E 1 9 0 I had to keep the number of members high. It began with twenty in the fresh man year and in September 1899 con sisted of five girls and two boys and fin ally they lost one boy who became a country teacher and have since kept the present six intact. During the history of the class the new high school build ing was erected and the present com plete system inaugurated. She knew the class would look back with much pleasure upon the days spent in the New Ulm school. CATHERINE M. RUSSEL. The class Prophetess surprised her friends by presenting her prophecy in poetry and it was a very pretty and mer itorious composition full of humor and good expressions. The pictured herself in a dream, and saw coming down a stream a number of boats which passed one by one, before her among which she recognized her classmates. She first car ried in her hand a scroll bearing upon it the inscription of a musician aud mark ed V. H. the second was an artist and was marked E. R. the third was a dent ist aad was marked R. S. the fourth was a stenographer and was marked M. M. the last was a teacher and her scroll was marked A. O. It was a very neatly con structed prophesy and a compliment to its author. ADBIE L. OLSEN. Miss Olsen to whom was given the honor of being valedictorian of the class took for her topic the words of the mot to and very gracefully wove them into an oration. She spoke of the members of the class being at the parting of the ways, some to go one place, some anoth er, all were standing tonight with ono foot on the old and one on the new life. And when they were out into the world and brought face to face with the duties for which they had spent the past years to fit themselves they would have to jus tify their course for the high school ed ucation was simply to fit them for a larger education. She quoted from a speech of Booker T. Washington show ing the value of practical education. Defeat should not discourage Uut nerve us on to better things. She bade fare well to the teachers, school board, schoo mates and friends and expressed the wish that the high school might, always have such ffrm adherents. The Hon. John W. Olsen, superinten dent of public instruction, was intro duced by Prof. Critchett and in the pre lude to his address he complimented the class very highly upon the large matur ity of thought shown in the orations de livered and expressed himself as being bashful in the presence of men having always to talk to school teachers." His address was delivered from manu script and occupied more than half an hour of time, but was uplifting in its sentiment and full of rare and valuable advice, not only to the graduates but to everybody and was greatly appreciated by the entire audience. At the conclusson of his address the class arose and he presented each mem ber with a diploma, assuring them that the ones who have had the care of their education so far, would watch their onward course with interest and be as sorry for their failure as they would be glad of their success. 7 Lv This ended the exercises and the aud ience crowded to the front to greet the six graduates, each one of whom received a magnificent profusion of flowers and many other testimonials from friends. This class has the honor of being the first to be graduated from the new High School building which is a model of perfection and convenience and large enough to accommodate quite an audi ence though not adequate for the grad uation of large classes. The ventilation, controlled by the power propelled fans, was good and though the windows were closed and the audience suffered but lit tle from heat. THE ART STUDIO. A new enterprise has been started in this city by Mrs. Harriet Schmidt and her sister, Miss Carrie Fnedmann. The two will conduct what will be known as the Art Studio, they having purchased the photograph gallery recently owned by Emii E. Seiter. Mrs. Schmidt has lecently returned from St. Paul where she has taken a thorough course in the work she has undei taken and is confi dent she can satisfy the most exacting. The public will find them anxious to piease, competent and painstaking. The west furnished no less than $6 000,000 worth of horses and mules for the prosecution of the late Boer war^ The Great Turnfest. 9s Turners of the State Will fleet in New Ulm on Saturday and Sunday June aad and 33d.

An unusual amount of work is being done by the Fourth of July committee and the committee is being strongly backed by the business men of the city. There is general unanimity in the work that is being done, which is the best evi dence of a successful termination of their work. "--/-'..."s" There is to be a continuous whole days sport and at night there will be suffi cient entertainment to last until the next Fourth of July.. Two addresses will be delivered—one in German by the Rev. Father Sandmeyei and one in English by Hon. Julius A. Coller of Shakopee. These addresses both by noted men, will be aeiivered at the German park where it is expected thousands will congregate to hear them. These speeches will be delivered after the grandest parade ever witnessed in New Ulm has passed iu review before the people of Brown county. There is to be at least a half-dozen bands and an aggregation of floats representing busi ness firms which will be superior to any thing yet seen in this city. In the afternoon there will be a base ball game between two of the best teams possible to secure and enough money has been raised to guarantee a game that will meet the expectations of the most exacting base ball crank. Nobody will be disappointed who comes to New Ulm this year. Sleepy Eye and Springfield will celebrate but they will be small affairs compared with our own celebration. The committee will soon have advertising matter cut so that people may see just wnat is going to happen. Keep your eyes on New Ulm. (Jfofte gfoj.' Specials.
