Dry County Meeting.
. There will be a dry county meeting
this evening In the M. E. church
South. Addresses will be delivered by
prominent epesker. All are cordially
invited to attend the meeting.
High school commencement exer
cises at the opera house last evening,
were extremely Interesting, though not
so largely attended. The program as
announced was changed somewhat to
conform with existing conditions.
When the curtain went up the audi
ence was greeted by a very pretty
stage setting, which surrounded five
of the six to . be graduated with the
class of '08. Miss Alberta Hopper was
111 and could not attend. Her paper
was read by Miss Marjory McCall, but
her piano solo was dropped.
With a very pretty parasol drill by
pupils of Mrs. Neill's room, the eve
ning's program opened. The little tots
were iouu.jr hmuuvu, emm
Kesaler .recited an oration on "Oppor
tunities," which for logical reasoning
and sound principles would be hard
to equal. Miss Mae Noyes read a pa'
per1 on "Parks In La Grande" which
teemed with practical suggestions and
was well rendered.
' JFred Toung, who sustained serious
Injuries last Sunday, stood manfully
on one foot while he presenteoVstrong
arguments In a debate with Herman
Stein on the question. "Resolved, That
the present ' Commercial club move
ment Is the best way to advertise the
city."
His opponents gave an equally
strong response. The arguments were
both Instructive and Interesting.
Misses Annie Tullls and May Kelll,
not of the graduating class, rendered
a very pretty piano duet.
Class History Road.
The class history written by Miss
Alberta Hopper, and read In her ab
sence by Miss McCall, was a humor
ous chronology of the class' history
since It became a class In the little
brlrk school house. The retrospective
and prospective history was handled
In a very able manner by the author
and clearly read by fhe reader.
Joseph Williamson responded for
tho Junior class In a very clever man
ner. Wishing the outgoing members
nil the good fortune which was possi
ble and remarking that his class
would next year graduate with the
record-breaVlng numbers, he closed a
well-worded response. Will Neill,
president of the graduates, handled
his subject, "Seeing the Elephant," In
a very able manner. In which he com
bined some helpful suggestions to the
classes behind him, and Incidentally
touched national Issues.
Blanch Kessler again entertained
the audience, this time with a diffi
cult rendition on the piano. Miss
Kessler plans a musical course next
year, and her abinty exhibited last
evening Is proof positive that she will
make a success of her chosen life
work.
Hon. H. M. Cske was called to the
rostrum for a few brief remarks, and
his admonitions to the graduates were
clear-cut and Interesting.
A pretty pantomime and tableaux
preceded the presentation of diplo
mas by President of the Board F. 8.
Ivanhoe. In the pantomime were 14
girls of the seventh grade, who did
their parts to perfection, while Miss
Mabel Williams sang "The Star Span
gled Rannor." In the pantomime were
.Teanette Smith, Vern Wlssler. lnei
Knowles, Mary Pennington. Frank
Crawford, Edna Monsnn, Ethel Wright,
Nora Arbucklo, lrma Deal. Irma Mar
tin, Helen Currey. Alice Hill. Naomi
Klrtley and Olive Massee.
Miss Mnrjorle Sllverthisrn figured

the seniors.
