jthe doors, every seat occupied and
mures ot people standing up. On the
platform were all taking part in the

salioal flass gave color variety to
Uie ever;;re:m deco-ations around the
platform, end the class motto, "Al
ways Onward and Upward" on the
wall back or the classes.
The program was or some length
but it held the closest attention of
the big audlenee throughout. The
high school glee club was given
hearty applause for Its tuneful ren
dering of the old favorite, "Come
.Vhere the Lillles Bloom," s,nd after
invocation by Rev, W. S, Crockett,
President Renter of Monmouth sang
a solo that was, so well received be
responded with another song.
Charles E, Oaks, one of the three
members of this first graluatlu
:lasa welcomed the audience and
ipoke a few, we'l chosen words o
salutatory, before launching upon
his oration, "Uncle Sam's Big Ditch.'

'Hi an canal ventures down to the
present operations by the U. S.
jovernment, He gave details or the
ize and construction of the big water
way and made rosy prophecies o'.
its effect upon commerce and upon
the future of the Pacific Coast. Mr.
Oakea spoke, elqarly and without
hesitancy,
Ivan C. Jackson told of "The Three
Sides of a Dollar," a novel subject
or a commencement oration and
his treatment of it was also unusual.
He gave a brjef review of money and
presented a good brief in defense o!
-he much abused medium of exchange
by telling of Us good work In spurr
ing men to mighty effort in the ac
jompllshment of things beneficial tc
humanity. 'If such are the results
t the love or money, give us more
jf that love."

Modern Industrialism," by Vernon
J. Corkins. The question or the
proper re-adjustment of relations
jetween employer and employee
Jiade necessary by the changed con
dltions of modern Industrialism, wa
ihown to be the supreme question
jf the day. Mr. Corkins has a good
delivery and his production bore evl
lence or logical thinking. He was
especially happy in his words of fare
vell.which were marked by an earn
astness that was Impressive,
r The class as a whole is a credit to
the high school, and the families and
Jrlends of its members can be justly
proud or the showing made by the
oung men on Friday night.
President E. D. Ressler or Mon
mouth Normal emphasized in his ad
tress to the class the necessity of

took. The real happiness in life
comes not from riches or honors but
from finding your work and doing
it; from contributing all that is in
you to the happiness and well-being
of your fellow mea. Mr. Ressler
garnished his words of wisdom with
considerable humor that the audience
greatly enjoyed.

to do so. He also presented diplomas
