Commencement.
Our School has Closed for a Ten Weeks'
Vacation, and in a Manner that did
Credit to the Teachers and members of the School Board.
The    comrnencemant    exercises    of
Saline high, school "began with the baccalaureate  address    given   by " Rev.
Bartlett at school hall Sunday evening
preceding  the   promotion  and other
exercises.
The custom of holding these services
is comparatively recent here but it certainly is fitting that each year the
churches join in a service with the
school, and especially fitting on this occasion, the sermon be directed to the
graduating class.
The hall was well filled; the remarks
eloquent and very fitting to the occasion, and highly appreciated by the
many eager listeners.
Promotion Exercises.
Thursday morning dawned "bright
and fair, not like the many stormy
mornings previous. The sun shed her
bright rays, bringing with her a high
temperature which tended to make the
large imdience somewhat restless.
Long before the appointed hour had
arrived for commencing the exercises
the hall, which had been nicely decorated by the pupils, was filled, many
who came a little late were compelled
to stand.
The exercises were opened with singing by the school led by A. F. Clark.
Rev. T. G. Potter offered prayer.
It is needless to particularize the
program rendered. The pieces were
good selections and well delivered.
We would commend two special features —the piano duet, given by Melissa
Hull and Alice Sturm, and the Hoop
Drill of the second Grammar girls.
The drill cirls, sixteenin number, were
neatly uniformed, the evolutions graceful and executed with exceptional precision.
After the drill the classes to he promoted passed to the rostrum and received their diplomas from the hands of
their class speakers.
This closed one of the pleasantest
features, the children's part, of the
commencement exercises.
Commencement Exercises.
The Commencement Exercises of our
school are always one of the pleasantest events of the year. Every one is
interested and a more than usual interest was attached to the exercises this
year. The class was the largest in the
history of the school and was known to
contain some excellent  material.
The exercises were held in the Opera
House and even that was not large
enough to accomodate those interested.
Promptly at 8 o'clock, the class, the
Board of Education, and the musicians
appeared on the stage and the exercises were opened with music by the
Ladies' Quartet from Manchester. The
quartet consisted of Miss Jennie Holliss
1st Soprano, Mrs. C. E. Lewis, 2 nd
Soprano, Mrs. Horace Case, 1st Alto,
and Miss Anna Gieske, 2nd Alto .This
opening piece as all the rest of their
music, was well received. All are
musicians of a high rank and all their
work of the evening is deserving of
the very highest praise.
Invocation was offered by Rev. J. E.
Piatt.
P. H. Rouse then sang "Rose Marie",
Mr.Rouse's singing is always welcomed
gladly by Saline audiences, and is always appreciated.
The literary exercises by the class
were opened with the
Salutatory
by Mattie E. Schaffer, who is graduated from the German Scientific course.
In very nicely chosen words and an
easy graceful manner, Mattie gave a
few of the modes of salutations in various countries, described the pleasures
and trials of the class, stating that they
had been blessed with sunshine along
their path with just enough clouds to
make the sun appear the brighter and
now as they come before their friends
to receive recognition of their victory,""
in behalf of the class of 92, all were
greeted with that cordial, whole souled
Amercian greeting, '"Welcome."
The salutatory was followed by an
oration entitled
Ideals
by Roy H. Marsh. The speaker conceded that enthusiasm exalts its object,
so that the memory of our heroes, orators, statesmen and - generals is not
true to life. But the nations and institutions of-men rest on ideals and it ia
through these ideals that the world is
made better.
After the quartet had sung "Dinah
Doe," George V. Cook gave the
Class History.
The difficult task of classifying and
arranging the many and widely diverse
items necessary to a class history was
Tery nicely done and many were
the hard hits he gave his classmates
for some of their deeds. The class, he
said, "were seventeen years, nine
months old; average weight was seventeen two hundred fiftieths—tons; five
are graduated from the English course
two from the Latin Scientific, and three
from the German Scientific course; all
but one expects to attend some higher
institution of learning." In closing
George hoped that their hright past
would be eclipsed only by the brilliancy
of their future.
Grace Gordon followed with an essay
in answer to the question,
Of What Is the World Thinking?
Her manner was easy and delivery
earnest. The essay, in full, will appear
in the Observer later.
The very pleasing and difficult arrangement of "Annie Laurie" hy Dudley Buck was then rendered by the
quartet.
An essay with the nnique title
Pussy Wants a Corner
was next read by Eva M. Schaffer.
Her delivery was forcible and the subject matter of her production showed
careful preparation. The essay will
appear later.
Class Prophecy.
The unenviable task of prophesying
a future to 30 promising a class had
fallen to Linnie E. Fosdiek. She attributed her prophetic vision to a
toothache. Eor in her distress from
an aching molar she had repaired to
the dentist's and while under the influence of gas she had visited the class
of '92 as they will be found in 1912.
The vision found the various members
of the class in very different vocations
from what the present seems to indicate
but no fault will be found with the class.
if they do as well or better than the
prophetess has predicted.
After  the  quartet had »ung  "The
Song   of  the  Whippoorwill,"   Grace
Davis gave her essay entitled
So Pains, No Gains
iu a pleasing manner.    We  will print
the article in a later number.
"Our Attitude Toward the
Foreigner
was the subject discussed by Will N.
Cody.   The production showed a wide
range of thought, concise logical statements   concerning our obligations to
the foreigner and, our higher obligations  to  our   American   institutions,
We jrill give the article, in full, later.
After an excellent rendition of
Haydn's "Rolling in Foaming Billows"
by P. H. Rouse,
The Valedictory
was given hy the Class President, Ralph
Mason. The words were well chosen
and delivered in an earnest, commendable manner. The production will be
printed in these columns.        *
President H. W. Bassett, on behalf
of the Board'of Education, presented
the graduates with their diplomas. A.
F. Clark and P. H. Rouse closed the
exercises with a duet, " 'Till We Meet
Again," the henediction was pronounced
nnd the Annual Commencement • exercises were over.
Alumni.
The first annual meotingbf the Saline
High School Alumni was held Friday
evening. ■ Just proceeding the exercises
which were held in  the chapel, tho
members present gathered in the janitors rooms and held their election of
officers for the ensuing year: E. C. Bassett being selected from the members
as their leader was elected President, C
E. Bassett, Vice Pres.; Mattie J. Mc
Kinnon, Sec; W. D. Mead, Treas.;they
then marched to the chapel which was
crowded. President B. P. Davenport;
class Orator, G. ABrown;Necrologian,
Miss Idalene Webb, and Rev. Dr. T. G.
Potter being seated on the rostrum.
The exercises were opened by a Zither
and Banjo duet, by the Misses Marion
and Electa Miles, which was listens d
to with pleasure as was each selection
given by them later in the evening.
Prayer was then offered by Rev. Dr.
Potter.
Next following was a Zither and
Banjo duet after which one of the most
interesting events of the evening occured the Calisthenic Drill tinder
the direction of, Mrs. S. E< McComb,
rendered by twenty young ladies from
the high school in uniform. The performance continued about fifteen minutes and showed that a great amount
of time and labor had been necessarily
given to perfect and enable them to go
through it with scarcely an error.
A selection well rendered was
then sung by Miss   Florence  Potter.
The young ladies who had previously given the calisthenic drill had passed out and equipped themselves each
with a pair of dumb bells, then marched
back andgave the dumb bell drill which
was of about the same duration as the
previous drill and equally interesting.
Too much praise cannot be given the
conductor Mrs. McComb, and the girls
for their efficient and effective work.
Miss Idalene Webb, the Necrologian,
then gave not the most amusing, but.
probably to a majority of the large
audience a very interesting, and to
some a sad account of the alumni of our
school which dates hack to the first
class which completed their course in
1872. With the exception of one, Miss
Abbie Wood, now Mrs. Woods, tho
whereabouts of each alumni, eighty-
four in all, was given, of that large
number but six have heen called to the
other shore.
P. H. Rouso than sang a fine 601o,
entitled, "They All Love Jack."
Geo. A. Brown, of the class of 1883, was
then called upon and gave a fine discourse
from the subject, "Our Common Schools
and What We Owe Them." The remarks,
which were eloquent and interesting, drew
out many points which were highly appreciated and applauded. He honors the
nation for her school laws which are not in
themselves selfish.do not classify.but place
all on an equal footing of freedom in
school privileges. No distinction being
made relative to wealth or poverty.
Miss Lizzie Glover, of the class of '87,
then favored the audience with a fine
selection and the exercises were closed witli
the benediction.
The toast master then announced that
all who held tickets would remain a few
minutes, until the audience had passed out,
they were then invited to go to the
opera house where a most pleasing sight
greeted them. Five long tables, extending
the entire length of the hall, were set. In
beautiful silver baskets was a full supply
of bananas and oranges, the first course of
the banquet menu. Beside each plate wrs
a buttonhole boqttet. Bricks of strawberry,
vanilla, chocolate and pineapple icecream,
assorted cakes and lemonade constituted
the second course; the third course, strawberries and cream, cakes and lemonade,
equally fine and tempting, concluded the
menu.
Toasts were next in order and with one
exception were responded to each in their
respective order. •
Mr. W. D, Mead, one of the first graduates, being from the class of '72, was called upon for the first toast, Age. The
Co-Ed by Fred Webb; Our Teachers,
Laverne Bassett; Education in the South,
Prof. C. O. Townsend: Memories, Miss
Minnie Jones; The Janitor; Dr. H. S
Townsend; Our Absent Ones, Mrs. J. N.
Lewis; The Board of Education, \V. H
Basset, and Prospects, by our worthy professor, W. N. Lister, were each interesting,
several of them being quite amusing.
The exercises then closed with the old
familiar air Auld Lang Syne.
The Grip in 1563.
According to the "following extract,
published in the London Truth, from
an old historical work, not only was
Edinburghafflicted with the influenza
in 1563, but the Queen of Scots herself
had the disease: "In November'Edinburgh was visited with a 'newe dysease'
called the 'newe acquaintance,' which
passed through the whole courte,'
nether sparing, torde, .layde nor
