on Law and Mr. Neel on Agriculture.
The younger boys' chorus furnished
the music for the evening.
Our thirty-seventh annual commen
cement was enhanced by the perfect!
weather which made possible the at
tendance of a large number of guests.
The entertainment of Friday evening
opened the program with a little opn
eretta, "The Pixies Triumph," pre-
sented by the primary and intermedi
ate grades. The solo parts were par
ticularly well done. A piano solo by
Anna Taylor marked trie transition
to the second part of the program
the presentation of the diplomas to
the eigth grade by their principal.
Miss Dodge.
The speaking contest was held at
7 :30 Saturday evening, the high school
boys' chorus furnishing the music.
The speakers were Lilly Trapp, Mer
ref Wood, Emma Bronson, Ray Clouse
Claud W. Hagan and Harvey . Cole.
The first prize was awarded to Claud
W. Hagan and second to Lilly Trapp.
Judge J. W. Dorton preached a very
fine baccalaureate sermon with words
of real inspiration to the Senior Class.
The year of Bible study which Miss
Dodge's pupils of the eigth grade have
so deeply enjoyed found a fitting
crown in the beautiful presentation o
the story of Ruth, given at the Acad
emy Sunday night. In a setting ofj
tastefult simplicity and the nosy glow,
of shaded lamps the harmonious col
ors of the Oriental costumes added
beauty to scenes perfected by the dig
nity and poise of the players. Anna'
Roberts as Naomi, Pauline Johnson as
Ruth and Francis Clark as Boaz, were
ably supported by a caste which in
cluded the entire class, and thanks
are due each member for so worthy
... ... j . t . i-
jan interpretation or tne Deautitui
idyll.
The spirit of the evening was sug-
gested by Miss Dodge, who in a few
opening words asked that there be
no applause, and the charm and love
liness of the Hebrew story was point
ed by the music of Miss Holway aid
other members of the quarter. In all
the work of her two years for our
music department Miss Holway hs
done no more beautiful thing than her
rendition of the hyms played at iho
piano with such an effect between Ihe"
scenes and those who sung w'th other
members of the quarter. Th,e attijtry
of the entire program wt 1 long be a
cherished memory wi h those n who
were so fortunate as to be prese?it.
