C A College Wednesday morning.
Tuesday afternoon was given
over to the academy graduating
class, the number being nine:
Arthur Benson, Eva M. Camp­
bell, Meade G. Elliott, Clifford
Hadlty, Olin C. Hadley, R. Gladys
Hannon, Harry Haworth, Wil­
lard Nelson and Ellis Pickett.
The honors o f the class went to
Ellis Pickett, which means a
scholarship in the college course
next year, though Eva Campbell
was less than a fourth o f one per
cent behind him and Harry Ha­
worth was almost as close a third
in the race. The class is considered
an exceptionally promising one
from the standpoint o f scholar­
ship and good reports are ex­
pected from the class in the future.
The class address was given by
Rey, H. Edwin McGrew, former
president o f the college, and now
pastor o f Friends church at
Whittier, California. It was a
clear and forceful presentation of
a few whojesome truths couched
in graceful speech, and delivered
in the happy way o f putting
things, for which the speaker
has a recognized faculty.
Instrumental music was fur­
nished by the Hull family, and

was roundly cheered at the close,
when he spoke on “ The Ministry
o f Poetry,” but he was given even
a more hearty cheer when Pres­
ident Reagan announced that he
had won a seventy dollar prize
in a contest which is noted in an­
other column.
Miss Florence Rees o f the
Junior class, was also agreeably
surprised and received most
hearty congratulations when it
was announced that she had
been awarded th e Florence
Brown Rowe prize o f $25 for
highest grades during the year.
The address to the class was
given by Dr. Benj. F. Young, o f
Portland, who spoke for thirty
minutes, never making a repeti­
tion, never side stepping to tell
an anecdote, but hitting straight
from the shoulder with the first
sentence uttered, and driving
every climax home with a snap
like the closing o f a steeltrap.
He was earnest, he was forceful
in delivery without attempt at
oratory; and the members o f the
class will not soon forget his
strong outline of helpful sugges­
tions addressed to them.
The program was interspersed
with music furnished by Mr.
Arthur Tasto, vocal soloist,
Salem, and by the College Glee
Club.
The alumni banquet given at
the Imperial closed the variomi
functions incident to commence­
ment week.
