Once more hag the cycle of the
chool year revolved and placed upon
the stage of action another class of
Wellington high school graduates,
as bright as its predecessors, promis
ing more valiant deeds to reflect honor
upon the fostering care of its alum
mater, and convincing patrons of ne
Increased thoroughness and compe
tency of the teachers employed in the
instruction.
The decorations of the opera house,
in which the twenty-fifth commence
ment was held, were tasteful and
pleasant in the highest degree. At the
right end of the stage as you entered,
was a huge mound of ferns, with a
large triangle of green bordered with
orange and having the figures " '99"
in white inside the triangle upon the
background of green, working out the
class colors, orange and white, very
nicely. The decorations extended
across in front of the footlights to the
opposite end of the stage, where was a
large bank of ferns and palms. As has
been the custom, above the stage was
suspended the class motto, the word
"Reveille," in white on a green back
ground. The exercises last Thursday evening
began at 8 :45 o'clock with a selection
by the Methodist Sunday-school or
chestra, after which to the strains of
"Georgia Camp Meetin' " the high
school entered the stage, youn'g ladies
from the left and young gentlemen
from the right, in twos, and took their
places for the opening chorus, "The
Voice of Singing," which was rendered
in a very pleasing manner. The neat
ness and the prettiness of the toilettes
was the remark of everyone present,
and indeed added an unmistakable
charm and' color to the scene. Rev.
Carl of the Disciple Church, followed
'the chorus with the invocation, and
then came the selection, "Lo, the
Bright Crimson," by the school.

welcomed the assembled friends, and
invited their attention for a short time
to "The Scholar's Joy." Even though
the Dl&ce had been used before for
commencement exercises, yet that did
not detract from the significance of the
occasion to the present graduates,
TJlough life has been lived befere, yet
that takes not away from its present
earnestness. Life is like a ladder, the
first rounds of which are found in our
school-day pleasures, the friendships,
studies and associations which lead us
upward toward the final goal success
In this connection Garfield said, "Suc
cess is not worth anything unless you
fight for it." One of the scholar's joys
is the recollection of the old school
house and its beautiful lawn and trees.
This remembrance has worked out the
resolve that posterity shall walk in
wisdom's ways.
MIh Orare E. Chapman.
A subject of comparatively recent
agitation, "Home Beautifiers," was the
theme of Miss Grace Chapman's well
prepared oration. The Indians have
no homes, hence their state of moral
depravity and lack of civilization. The
first essential to man is home. Culture
and discipline will add refinement.
This will come because the desire for
the beautiful is natural to man, and
furthermore the means of gratification
is within everyone to a greater or less
extent. Some people think that it is
very foolish to spend money on beauti
ful things, since money so invested
does not bring any pecuniary return ;
but the refining influence can not be
estimated. Men have much time for
politics, but not so much time to de
vote to their homes. The subject of
beautiful homes is claiming the atten
tion of the press now and promises
great things for the future. Home has
much to do with character.
Miaa Lena A. Dlrlam.
Rather out of the usual line at the
same time of a common-sense nature
was Miss Lena Dirlam's oration on "A
Child's Classics." Child-life has of
late years been the object of much
study. Every child from the earliest
age begins the art of reading. What
they read then has a great influence on
their after-reading and life, as the im
pressions received then are often the
most lasting. A good book has been
of more benefit than anything else in
moulding the character of the individ
ual. Reading spiritualizes. A great
depth of thought is often covered with
light coat of fancy, which afterward
works itself out silently. Classics re
veal a new field to a child ; classics
lead to the fountain of all truth. Love
(or literature grows as we grow, be
cause classics are more far-reaching
than anything else.
v. Robert Lanmlon.
Thinking that it would not be right
to let a commencement time pass with'
out treating some living subject, Rob
ert Laundon chese for his theme,
"England as a Colonizer." He consid
ered the subject very ably. England
ha tlx greatct number of colonies of
any nation and they are the best man
aged. She has accomplished thi
through her persistency. The English
government looks upon India as the
pride of her colonies. German and
French colonies are full of soldiers,
England's are not. England's colonies
are divided into three classes: Crown
colonies, self-governing colonies, and
colonies of the same class as India.
Colonizing iB of particular interest to
the United States at present. For this
reason we should stuay r,ngianu s
methods. This is a far-reaching ques
tion with us.
Miss Coila Steniple followed this
oration with a fine vocal selection,
For All Eternity," after which
Mini rearl Cannlily
noted the fact that in the money-
making hurry of to-day very little time
is devoted to the study of literature.
But in spite of all this, the world has
just awakened to the fact that it is
bowing to "A Literary Idol," and that
this literary idol to which the world is
doing homage is Rudyard Kipling.
Miss Cassidy then gave a short sketch
of his life, telling of his early struggles
for recognition. His success is par
tially due to the fact that he draws
things just as he sees them. Ian Mac
liiren says that he is the foremost lit
erary man of all the Anglo-Saxon
world. That he is immensely popular
is evidenced by the solicitude shown
for him in his recent sickness. The
oration closed with a glowing tribute
to him.
MlM Klliel Gillett.
In a solid, genuine way did Miss
Gillett consider the question of her
oration, "Straws or Pearls7" Where
do we find the straws? and where the
pearls? Straws float 1 always on the
surface ; the pearls are always found
below. Follow the course of the straw
and notice its vagrancy; follow the
course of the pearl and see its stabil
ity. Everything that is worth any
thing is like a pearl. Those who lack
of training are the most beautiful, for
education is very essential to happi
ness. There are surface readers who
spend much time in gossiping with
servants when they might be feasting
with kings. Man is rewarded in pro
portion as he searches. This diving
into the depths after the pearls is very
necessary to us all.
Lelloy Lang.
Following Miss Gillett came LeKoy
Lang who spoke very fittingly on
Our Volunteer Soldier." Gratitude
is due our volunteer soiuiers; iney
should be remembered in some appro.
priate way. Had it not been for the
sacrifice of our forefathers in th war of
where would we be to-day. The
patriotism of '76 was manifest in '61
The noblest example of devotion to
principle was shown in the civil war,
The battle of Lookout mountain standi
out as one of the most enthusiastic
scenes that illumine the pages of his
tory. Our volunteers are philanthro
pists. The late war was undertaken to
get the Cubans from the control of the
cruel Castilian. Its outbreak fired us
all. The volunteers braved a)! dan
gers and hardships that the Cubans
might be free, and when the victories
were won the great heart of our nation
throbbed.
MlM Leila A. Cook.
Miss Lelia Cook spoke with great
appropriateness upon "Blessings in
Disguise." How often does the word
"danger" occur ; how often do bless
ings come to us in disguise. Miss Cook
then gave a few incidents connected
with lives of Charles and Mary Lamb,
Instead of choosing the more brilliant
future in the environment of London
he devoted his life to his sister. He
sacrificed much. This noble sacrifice
is more remembered by the world than
his literary labors would have been
The life of Louise M. Alcott was cited
When she went to act as nurse in the
hospitals during the civil war, she
thought that her literaray career was
ended, but we all know that it was not.
Defeat does not mean failure. Defeat
oftentimes proves the stepping-stone
to success.
The male quartet, composed of Rob'
ert Laundon, Orrin Damon, Paul Pratt,
and Fraak 0. VanCleef, rendered
"Simple Simon" in an estimable way
and received its merited applause.
Mlu Bath Iluklns.
In choosing for the subject of her
oration "Hygeia," Miss Haakins
touched upon a thing which should be
very close to the hearts of us all
What a priceless boon is health
moment of suffering is longer to us
than a whole day of health. Away
back in Greek mythology we have
beautiful virgin in perfect health, who
came to be worshipped as the goddess
of health. She was Hygeia. What
fitting symbol of health is a blooming
virgin. We have no doctors for well
people. Many are studying to be phy
sicians and are taking special work in
that direction ; but few of us study to
observe the ordinary rules of health.
i Pure food tod pare air are among the
first of the essentials. Let the tun
shine in. Let .is get as much of heav
en into our lives as possible.
Mlu Cora Babcotk.
Taking as her beginning the legend
of the "Gates of Janus," Miss Babcock
wotkea around to her tho.ight in a con
clusive way. War is given to savages
as a means of settling disputes. Civil
ization has promised to abolish war.
Duelling Is now becoming a thing of
the past. The Samoan troubles would
in ancient times have precipitated us
into war, but through arbitration this
is now averted. War means moral
degradation. Napoleon said: "War
is the trade of barbarism." Sherman
said : "You say war is glorious ; but I
say war is hell." What a magnificent
past has America hud. Let us make
the next century more glorious by per
fecting a complete system of arbitra
tion. '
Frank C. VanCleef.
In a very striking manner did Mr.
VanCleef consider his weil-chosen sub
ject, "Leadership." The great men of
to-day are men of heart and brain.
Heart and brain count for more now
than formerly, when brawn and mus
cle were considered the predominant
requirements. What are the elements
f leadership? (1) Unselfish ambition
helps one greatly. (2) Fearlessness.
We have only to look at the life of
Wendell Phillips to see this quality ex
emplified. He gave up the comforts of
home and the prospects of a brilliant
future at the bar to face the hisses and
violence of mobs to vindicate human
Justice. He was fearless of his life.
(3) Magnetic personality, such as was
possessed by Clay and Blaine. They
were much beloved, their ueleats
made men weep. There must be a
atent force in every leader upon which
he can call in an emergency. This was
pre-eminent characteristic of Web
ster. Abraham Lincoln despite his
rustic simplicity, had much of this
force. The war developed his religious
ature. Of all American heroes, Lin
coln is the greatest and truest leader,
because he possessed the elements of
leadership.
Mlu Grace M unhollon.
Miss Munhollon in a dream at mid
night thinks herBelf in the school-room
on the walls of which are the busts of
Lincoln, Shakespeare and Socrates.
Still in the dream, she hears Socrates
speaking to her. He has been there
many years. The place that Cicero for
merly occupied is vacant, he being
driven to suicide by the awful torture
to which he has been put by the
wretched translations of his orations
and the mfseon.jjtrulng of is meaning.
Socrates continuing prays that the
study of Greek may never be under
taken In the high school lest he too
should be compelled to commit suicide
rather than have his native tongue
mispronounced beyond recognition and
his philosophy misunderstood. He
would again drink the cup of poison
hemlock. When Miss Munhollon
awoke from her dream it was 2:30 p.
in., and the first thing she heard was,
Cicero class, please." The dream
was very realistic.
This was the end of the first part of
the program and the orchestra played
a selection before the beginning of the
second part, which was opened by
Mini Myrtle Firestone.
Her subject was, "A Royal High.
way.'-' it is the Doast oi seii-maue
men that there is no royal pathway to
success. All must be earned. The old
Roman roads are the finest examples
in thoroughness oi that line oi con
struction we have. They stand as utv
dying monuments to Roman system.
They were the only way on which to
move an army in that time. There is
likewise a highway to success, private,
not public. It is for use by the build
er, should he yield to discouragement
it means failure. It may require years
to build this pathway, but "There is
no excellence without great labor.
Our lives may be mode the way to suc
cess or failure, luxury or poverty. He
who reaches the summit success has
indeed builded well his royal pathway.
MlM Grace G. Smith.
Since the new woman is in the field,
it was very appropriate that one of her
sex should consider the question "Will
She Gain or Lose?" And this Miss
Smith did well indeed. In times past
as in the days of our forefathers,
woman sewed, spun, sighed and smiled
and thus passed away her life in the
humdrum of the household routine
but did not enter the business world
The last thirty years have witnessed
wonderful changes along this line. Not
withstanding her supposed incapacity
to cope with the problems in the com
mercial world, she has proven herself
equal if not superior to man in what
ever she has undertaken. But now the
question comes whether she will gain
or lose. She has been given a right to
a place on the board of education, and
has proven herself of inestimable value
there. In whatever high position
which she occupies, she is proving her
self adequate. In former years the
college curricula were not adapted to
woman ; but now there are few school
In which she may not enter on an equal
footing with man. By the very nature
of things, give a woman a field and she
will gain.
Ray Itaatlnga.
Refreshing in its honesty and crisp.
ness was Mr. Hastings s treatment of
the subject, "The Educated Farmer."
In every field of human activity we
find a decided interest taken in the nd
vanoement of any particular field
Last of all to arouse itself was agricult
ure. Farming has now become
science. Who ought to be more inter
ested tluiH a farmer in nature and nat
ural phenomena. The farmer handles
more money in proportion to his in
come than any other business man.
Give him the same preparation as a
doctor or a lawyer jind the farmer will
be better. The ordinary farmer is hap
hazard. He does 6ot pay enough at
tention to those lfttle savings which
can be made profitable with a little
care. The farmer who seeks the high
est possible that an education in his
line can give, will be the man for the
future.
MlM Caroivn Hook.
The one individual in which the
soldiers were interested in our recent
war with Spain, especially those in the
army hospitals, was the nurse. Miss
Howk selected vmll therefore when she
chose "The Red Cross" as her subject.
The Red Cross Society was first organ
ized by Clara Button and began its
work in the FrancorPrussian war. In
the Suanish-Amerfnan war the Red
Cross army nurse as the welcomed
angel of mercy toj many an injured,
sick soldier. The works of the Red
Cross society are seen everywhere and
in every crisis. Whenever the levees
on the Mississippi! have broken, tiie
society has sent (Jut relief steamers
loaded down with supplies for the sick
and hungry and homeless. So much
has the society don that wherever the
banner of the organization is unfurled
it is respected by k31, whether in war
or in time of peoce.5 Miss Howk then
gave a description Of Miss Bai ton. She
s doing much good in the world yet,
for she is constantly sought by those
who are discouraged, and she is a never-failing
comforte.
Miss Howk was followed by a septet,
composed of Misses Myrtle Firestone,
Ella Griggs, Bertha Chapman and
.eona West, and Messrs. Warren Hall,
Paul Pratt and Frank VanCleef, which
rendered a very humorous medley of
popular songs of former and these lat
ter days. '
MIm Sara lirutnby.
Of a patriotic nature was Miss Brum
by's oration on "Our Flag." Every
Americans heart swells with pride at
sig..t of the beautiful star-spangled
banner. Miss Brumby then gave a
brief sketch of the' (nuking of the first

Howard Joyce.
Among the peoples in which England
very intensely interested just at
present, there is one whose actions she
is watchiag more cloBely than anyone
else, on account of the grasp she is
getting on China, and that is "The
Muscovite" or Russian. Mr. Joyce
treated the subject historically at first,
telling the condition of things under
Peter the Great and Frederick II
Russia is a pure despotism, though to'
day she is in the outer edge of the
whirlpool of democracy and is slowly
but surely being drawn to the vortex
The first move in that direction which
has been manifest is her seeming will
ingness to entertain the disarmament
proposition. If international disarma
ment can be secured, what wonderful
things might be accomplished. We
hope she may not prove a bear in
sheeps' clothing in this matter.
MlM Ilertha A. Chapman.
Of the papers given at commence
ment naturally the honor papers would
call forth the most interest, so that in
delivering the class history, Miss Chap-
mun had ready hearers. The history
of the class of '09 is divided into three
eras ancient, medieval and modern.
The ancient period covers the time
from babyhood to entering the pri
mary; medieval from primary to high
school, and the modern covers the
four years of the high school. In con
nection with first part of the medieval
period mention was made of Miss
Brown and the time they were under
her instruction was made memorable
by the fact that they acquired the art
of drawing pictures and of writing and
passing notes. The class then passed
through the dark ages or the grammar
grades, and they made themselves
famous in their initial year of high
school work by one of their number
winning an oratorical contest with the
older tribes. Then was the period of
class parties begun and the social spirit
of the class began to manifest itself.

aliens it is true, but nevertheless an

of '99!
Mlu Mary K. Hayes.
After inviting the gentlemen to leave
in a pleasant way, and noting the fact
that none of them did so, Miss Hayes,
convinced that they were willing to
suffer the consequences, proceeded to
deliver her oration on "Man," demand
ing the undivided attention of the
ladies. Man is a queer sort of being.
He fights; he is chicken-hearted.
Whenever anything happens which has
in it aught of detriment to the doer, he
seeks to escape his just deserts by say
ing, "Not I, the woman did it." Man
is a Bavage. He, like the savage,
drinks, chews and beats his wife. After
giving man a very pleasing tirade, Miss
Hayes continued in another vein.
Every woman thinks her husband is
angelic; but his wings are nowhere in
sight, at least few people ever have an
opportunity of seeing them. After re
citing some poetry, Miss Hayes said,
"Let us hope that soon we may bid
farewell to man with his wings in
sight."
The next selection was a beautiful
vocal duet by Misses Coila Stemple
and Ella Griggs, "Till We Meet
Again," after which we all listened to
a deep oration by
Orrln Damon.
on "Nature's Subserviency to Man."
Whenever we pause for a moment and
view nature at all in a studious or rev
erential frame of mind, we are
appalled at the mighty forces which
we see working. And when we think
how many of these great forces are
subservient to man, we feel like prais
ing man. Every force of nature yields
to the over-mastering mind of man.
Look into the animal world and see
over what he has control there and
then consider for a moment what he
has subject to him in the vegetable
kingdom. Look in whatever corner of
the natural realm you may and every
thing is his. Man does not stop here.
He goes a grade higher and converts
the energy of the lower animals into
motive power for his own use; nay
more, he has led captive the force of
the mighty Niagara. Still progressing
he gained control over nature by the
combination of the elements which
compose gunpowder and has made an
irresistable destructive force. The
Spaniards experienced some of thiB in
the terriffic battle of Santiago. Next
is man's control and adaptation of
steam, and increased transportation
facilities. And now he is just learning
to. handle,, elwt.rifltty ,hih. forattMtill
revolutionize the entire mechanical
world. The time is not far distant
when all will be subservient to mon's
control.
MlM EllIKbeth RodhonM.
When Miss Rodhouse found that she
would have the closs prophecy she pro
ceeded to have her room fixed up in a
manner suitable to be the habitation
of one desiring to cultivate the pro
phetic instinct. He room was papered
in black, and she was reading authors
of the character of Poe and the books
of the dead, when she was startled to
have the stooping form of on old man

not recognize him, but the longer Bhe

presence of Diogenes, the wise man,

for an honest man. With him she
started out upon her tour, going first
to the Big Four station, and lo, it was
the year 1910. Stepping aboard the
shootoscoue" they were taken im
mediately to Cleveland, thence to I
small town in Pennsylvania in the oil
region, and to Washington, New York
city and London, everywhere meeting
her former class-mates, who were in
all grades of respectability from secre
tary of state down to a boarding house
keeper, until at last Diogenes finished
his search after the man for whom he
had been looking all these centuries
finding him in the person of Dewey,
I'ul Pratt.
And last and the most honored place
on the program, came Mr. Pratt as
valedictorian with his appropriate ora
tion on "The Rough Rider." Our
country is indeed great by past
achievement and future prospect. For
tunate is a nation which has a great
hero. We possess that hero to-day in
the person of Theodore Roosevelt, gov
ernor of New York. Mr. Pratt gave a
fine tribute to him. He has made
history and he has written it. Soldier,
author or statesman he has fulfilled
his every duty fearlessly and is meet
ing with merited reward. But he will
never have the greatest appreciation
shown him until he has the highest
gift within the power of the people of
these United States. He will be presi
dent. Mr. Pratt then thanked the par
ents and friends in behalf of the class
for interest and encouragement. He
thanked the school board and the
teachers for the excellent high school
which they have given that he and his
class-mates might be benefitted there
by. We are a part of everything we
have met. He spoke to his class-mates
and exhorted them to greater activity
and watchfulness In the future, for it
is only by anticipation that we are on
our guard. A unique feature was here
introduced. Just as Mr. Pratt finished
his oration with the thought that they
as a class had finished the high school
course and that even now could be
heard from the field of life the call of
"Reveille," their class motto, Mr. S.
E. Wilcox played the reveille on a

graceful semi-circle across the stage to

Then came the presentation "fu '
mas, after which Rev. Waggoner
the Methodist Church, pronounced lli
benediction, and the graduates le-
ceived the congratulations of their
many friends.
Considering its length, the program
was one of remarkable variety, and
was free from that monotony which
might be supposed would ariBe from so
many short speeches. The subjects were
diversified and the excellent quality of
their treatment was very evident. So
we say with the historian of the class,
'Long live the class of '99 !"

all of whom were suffering from dyspep
sia and its consequences, and In all these
cases It acted like a charm. Two of
them bought more of the tonio, and
continued to take It, until now they tell
me they can eat anything, and one of
them added "everything1 without the
slightest inconvenience. They have cer
tainly improved wonderfully in weight
and strength. I have prescribed your
"Best" Tonio a great number of times.
It is one of the best, if not the very best,
Of. its kind."
