GRADUATES
Class of Five Receives Di
plomas and Acquit Them
selves Handsomely
STATE SUPT.ACKERMAN
Head of Oregon School System Makes
Brief Address Says Unusual
To Find Boys In
Majority.
The commencement exercises of the
Parkplace lflgh school, held In the
assembly hall of he school, Wednes
day evening, were attended by a room
full of admiring friends. The class
was composed of five graduates, three
boys and two girls. The hall was
hung with sprays of green, the stage
outlined with a heavy drapery of cedar
branches and decorated with the class
colors, old rose and cream, and the
class flowers, pink carnations. Across
the front of the stage was suspended
the class motto, "Possumus si Volu
mus," "We Can if We Will."
Professor L. A. Reed, principal of
the school, In a few opening remarks,
made the announcements preceding
the excellent program. The first num
ber was a piano solo by Miss Evs
Benson of Portland, after which Rev.
P. K. Hammond of St. Paul's Episco
pal church of Oregon City, offered the
Invocation.
Miss Juliet Cross, the salutatorian,
said we are only beginning, let us
hope the structure may be as solid
as the foundation and that as an ar
tist chisels out little by little his
works of art, may the pupils just com
pleting the high school course pursue
their studies day by day until they
reach still grettv !tviments.
Mrs. John W. Loder of Oregon City
rendered a solo and the class oratio i
by Charles Sievers, '"We Can If We
Will," was listened to He spok-i in
a convincing w.iy v.hen he said a
man is what he make Muself, a s"c
cess or a failure. Every nation has a
hero; they are the men who aro will
ing to endure hardships, suffer priva
tions, rely on themselves and exercise
the power with which ..hey Lave been
endowed. Caesar, Cromwell, Glad
stone and Lincoln were given as ex
amples. Dr. R. A. Heritage of Salem, musical
director of the Chautauqua assembly,
sang, accompanied by Mrs. V. Harri3
of Oregon City, and was enthusiastic
ally encored. The "Class History and
Prophecy" was handled by Frank
McAnulty. A history of each pupil o'
the class was given; several In the
years of study had left the class but
had returned. He suddenly dropped
from history to prophecy and he him
self arose In two lines from a boy in
Parkplace school to a place on the
reportorial staff of a Chicago paper.
State Superintendent of Public In
struction J. H. Ackerman delivered
the class address. He spoke in very
complimentary terms of the Park
place schools. He said they were in
the front rank of educational lines.
He said there could be no doubt of a
splendid system of study; their pro
gram showed It. He noticed the pecu
liar fact of there being more boys
than girls in the class; that in the
number of classes he had had the
pleasure of visiting this was the first
Instance of the kind to occur. He
told the pupils that there was not a
person living now that was alive when
Washington was president and re
minded them that the places of the
history makers of the world must be
filled. He advised them to choose the
work they liked best and make a sue
cess of it. Service for others and do
ing something to make some one else
happy he declared to be the best char
acter builder. Following the address
was another piano solo by Miss Eva
Benson.
Oration, "A Man for the Crisis,"
was the theme chosen by Sidney John
son. He described that man as a self
made man, one of sound common
sense, determination to win. Washing
ton and Lincoln were men who were
shining lights in the history of their
nation. Miss Grace Guile of Portland
was next on te'program and sang a
solo. ,'K
.The valedictory was delivered by
Miss Pearl Sievers, who very feeling
ly bade goodby to the teachers and
classmates, wishing them all possible
success.
Dr. Heritage sang again with ex
planations preceding this solo. He was

County Superintendent of Schools
J. C. Klnser addressed tho company
and spoke In fluttering terms of the
honorable place rarkptace holds in
an educational way. Ho said the love
of education had beeu Implanted In
the pupils' hearts and that the most
conscientious teachers of the county
were among the Parkplace graduates.
He said he had been Instructing the
class a few weeks and had formed a
sincere attachment for them all In
that time and therefore took special
pride. In the way they had acquitted
themselves Wednesday evening.
Hon. J. T. Apperson, president of
the school board, In presenting the
diplomas, made a short talk of en
couragement ami praise to the class.
He told them they would never be
too old to learn and that they must
never become discouraged In the ef
forts for study and doveloponiont.
The class were showered with flow
ers, among them many beautiful de
signs that were carried onto the stage
by little girls dressed In white.

trlcts petitioning for the Union high

Parkplace coining In Thursday morn-
ing In fine style. j
The remarks of State Superlnten-
dent Ackerman, Captain J. T. Appcr-
son and County Superintendent Zlnser
at the Parkplace commencement Wed-
nesday night, no doubt helped tho
cause there. Mr. Ackerman said
sonalities should be laid aside and
only the future considered; whatever
is done must be done now, the oppor
tunity may never be offered again.
Captain Apperson said if he had
23 names at his disposal they would
all be on the petition before he weut
to bed. '
Mr. Zlnser had consulted legal au
thority, and it was certain if one dls-
trlct embraced In the petition failed,
the whole project failed.
That Was
the law.
Every Man His Own Doctor.
The average man cannot afford to
employ a physician for every slight
ailment or Injury that may occur In
his ramily, nor can he afford to ne
glect them, as so slight an Injury as
the scratch of a pin has been known
to cause the loss of a limb. Hence
every man must from necessity bo
his own doctor for this class of ail
ments. Success often depends upon
prompt treatment, which can only be
had when suitable medicines are kept
at hand. Chamberlain's Remedies
have been in the market for many
years and enjoy a good reputation.
Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy for bowel com
plaints. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy for
coughs, colds, croup and whooping
