COMMENCEMENT EXERCISES
At tha Opera Hoyaa Laat Saturday
House Crowded.
The opera house wa packi-d to the
d.x.r lust Sat unlay evening by llills
boro' Wst citiens to listen to the pro
gram of the Eighth grade graduates of nur
city sclnxils, twenty-five in numWr. The
front of the stage was banked with roses,
rare and fragrant. Cpon the platform
in a half circle were seated the graduat
ing class, the young ladies dressed iu
white, all wearing their class color
pink, and white riblxm. lloyt'a or
chestra opened the evening's entertain
ment with an overture, "life U But a
Hrcain," which was loudly encored, for
certainly the ineinWr of this orchestra
are thorough musicians aud the selec
tions given by them during the evening
were of the Wst and highly appreciated
by the music-loving audience.
Rev. J. F. I ay offered a short prayer
after which the Misses Jennie Tilbury,
Liola House, Byrtlo Sal.in, Faye Corwin
and Calla Young sang tt Girls Chorus,
"Spring Song," In a very pleading man
ner. Mary Tunsat' oration, "Jjilx.r a
Blessing or a Curse," was very g'ssl in
deed, and from her standpoint, proved
that a person to W happy 'he or she
must work. "The Negro," by Arthur
Citiiiuiings, wa another oration which
showed that its author had Wen devot
ing much time and thought to the su!
Jcct, going back to the landing of the
first ship-load of African in this coun
try, un.l following their history down to
the signing of the emancipation pns-la-
mation by President Lincoln, to the pres
ent day. Frederic L. rooman then
sang a baritone solo, "For Tins,' by
PeKoven, which was listened to with
pleasure. "A Dream," by Jennie Till-
bury followed. This young lady won
the hearts of her hearers by her "dream"
which tixik her pretty much around the
world, and in which she met many of,
her old classmates, some teaching
sclnxil, other in various lines of busi
ness some happily married and "set
tled," and all doing well. The "dream"
wa well written, well read and brought
many favorable comments. Miss Jennie
Donelson favored the audience with a
splendid vx al solo, "Iu May Tune.
The "Class Poem," by Byrtle Sabm, was
an excellent production in which many
of her schtxilniatea were made to take an
active part.
II. L. ISates, principalof Tualatin Acad
emy, with a lew well cnosen remains,
presented the diploma and gave a short
talk to the class, giving them some ex
cellent advice and at the same time
speaking gixxl word for the sclux.l sys
tem of thi country. His remark were
instructive and w ill certainly prove an
inspiration to all who Wlieve in ad
vancement along educational line.
A scholarship for one year in Tuulu-
tin Academy was given by Prof. Bates to
MaryTunaat, and a half-year scholar
ship in the same institution to Liola
House, thetwohavingthe highest stand
ing in their class, ami in presenting
them he remarked that he always t.x.k
great interest in llillslx.ro student and
anticipated having a numWr enter the
academy at Forest Grove. Thi i tin-
loubtedly all right, from Mr. Bates
viewpoint, but w hy should Hillslxiro W
w ithout a high school for this large class
to enter? It certainly i not lxjcause
there i not a demand for such a depart
ment, for there Is. Here i a class of
twenty-five students who must either
liscontinue their school work on step
ping from the Eighth grnde or W obliged
to go to some other city to complete a
a a tl I .11
common high school course, ii is an
wrong and if continued will work against
the growth and prosperity of Hillslxiro.
The teachers of this city are among the
Wt ; careful, thoughtful instructors, and
would do honor to any school nxiu.
Prof. Barnes and his corps of teachers
have every reason in the world to find
proud of the splendid class graduated
last Saturday night. The evidence of
hard study and careful instruction was
Wfore the audience.
Miss Liola House read a pa)r on
"The F'arly Days of the Northwest
which we take pleasure in presenting to
our readers. We do not single it out W
cause it is Wtter than any one of the
others, but Ix-eause it is bubbling over
with historical fact. The paper follows

of East Butte, and every true hearted
republican should rally to his supiH.rt
ami elect him bv an overwhelming ma-
ority. He was a candidate Wfore the
last republican county convention and
stood second iu the race for the nomina
tion. He is an honorable, upright mini,
a stanch republican ami his nomination
is entirely satisfactory to the friends of
the late J. W. Morgan, and they are go
ing to work for his election.
Before coming to Oregon he served as
county clerk for six years of Mohave
county, Arizona; ho served thut county
well and faithful, his ability is unques
tioned, and a twelve years' residence in
this county has given him a wide ac
quaintance, and we have yet to hear him
spoken of except as a gentleman, well
lit ted for the duties of county clerk, and
a man who couunauds the rcstxvt of hi
fellow citizens.
He steps into the field at the eleventh
hour at the earnest solicitation of the
committee aud his friends, and while
the fight would look diseotiiHging to
most men, Mr. (iodman shies bis castor
into the ring w ith the firm determina
tion of w inning out, and every republican
should rally to his support. Will you
do it?
Here is an opixirtunity for the repub
lican of Washington county to show
what metal they are made of. Some of
the opposing party men give it out that
Mr. (iodiiiun enters the race too late and
that he is Watcn already. History
shows what the republican party can do,
and the voters will not W lacking in
this case.
