CLASS OF ’21 GIVES HIGHLY
E N T E R T A IN IN G PROGRAM
IN CLASS NIGHT EXERCISES
A large gathering of parentn and
friends greeted the Class of 21 Fri­
day evening in their class night ex­
ercises and every one went away
pleased with the splendid and varied
program. Miss Jane Gunn, the class
president, was the historian, and in­
stead of giving the stereotyped class
history, she gave a short review of
the part each one had taken in the
high school activities when she in­
troduced them to take their place on
the program. Miss Martha Winslow
recited ’An Abandoned Elopement’
which was greatly appreciated by the
audience. Max Warriner, made up
as an old man gave the prophecy,
reading a letter dated 1951, purport­
ed to have come from Albert Hed-
wall, his classmate, in which each
member of the class got a glimpse in­
to the future. Dorothy Briggs in
behalf of the class willed away all
their rights, privileges and other
things which had been handed down
to them for safe keeping. A new
feature was added in the form of a
large key, called the key to success
which the class found and is hand­
ing down to future classes. Miss
Laura Phipps gave an excellent
rendition of the solo, ‘Tit for Tat’ in
which her sweet soprano voice show­
ed to good advantage. Miss Nida

O f The Week
Mrs. J. D. Watson has been the
inspiration for many pretty parties
given during the last week. The
largest affair of the season was plan­
ned for Monday at the pleasant home
of Mrs. J. T. Hinkle when she in
company with Mrs. F. B. Swayze and
Mrs. F. C. McKenzie entertained a
large company of ladies. The grounds
of the Hinkle home which boasts of
ail kinds and colors of flowers were
never more lovely with the rose gar­
den Just offering its first fragrant
blossoms. Indoors the living rooms
were gay with briliant wild flowers
of many variety from the gorgeous
red and gold of the sand flower to
the deep purple hue of the snapdrag­
on. Auction bridge was played at
ten tables cosily arranged through­
out the living room and spacious
verandas while a number of ladies
enjoyed the afternoon over their
fancy work, visiting and guessing
games. Dainty refreshments of ices,
macaroons, coffee and salted nuts
were served at four groups of tables
artistically centered with flowers.
The departing guests left with many
words of appreciation to their host­
esses and sincerely relucant farewells
to the guest of honor.
was very enjoyable when they ap­
peared in large cans and sang the
class song which was written special­
ly for the occasion by C. E. Moore of
Portland. Th6 class motto is "Suc­
cess comes in "Cans" which is the
theme of the song and is a clever
production. Albert Hedwall, the
class artist and cut-up, departed
from the ordinary class oration and
gave a talk which he beautifully Il­
lustrated with crayon. Albert has’
talent in this line and some day he
may blossom Into a regular lyceum
chalk talker. The evening's enter­
tainment closed with the singing of
Alma Mater.

O ld Fashioned
D ance Success
One of the most enjoyable affairs
>t the year was held last Staurday
night when the Columbia Neighbor­
hood club gave an old-fashioned
dance at the Auditorium.
The hall was crowded and the old
fashioned costumes were numerous
and unique. The prizes were won by
Mrs. J. L. Wnller for the ladles and
J. T. Hinkle for the gentlemen.
Knight's excellent orchestra of
Stanfield furnished the music, and
everyone had an excellent time. The
committee In charge deserves a great
deal of praise for their management
of the affair. They were: Mrs.
Frank Beddow, chairman; Mrs. Walt­
er Lloyd, Mrs. Orin Felthouse, Mrs.
Edmunds and Mrs. R. A. Stewart
The dance netted the club nearly $90
clear.
The members of the junior class had
decorated the stage with a profus
ion of yellow roses; locast blossoms
and vines which added materially to
the evening’s entertainment. The
school orchestra opened the program
with an overture, and this organlza
tlon has proven popular with the
school and with the public. Miss
Laura Phipps, an honor student gave
the salutatory address welcoming the
parents and friends to the exercises,
in a very pleasing manner. Miss
Martha Winslow, the student having
the highest grades for the four years
gave the valedictory in a touching
manner, saying farewell to the class
the associations of the high school
days. Miss Jane Gunn sang the so­
lo, "That’s where the West begins"
which showed the possibilities of her
voice to good advantage. Mr. Volk
er then introduced Dr. VAn Wale s
who delivered a scholarly address on
"What education means in Its fullest
Sence.” He held the large audience
Interested for forty five minutes in
showing that education Is n process
or development and training and
should be continued as long as a per
son lives. After the address the class
sang the song "Success comes in
Cans” which Is the motto of the
class. The uwards were next on the
program. Mr. Bensel called tho
eighth grade class to the front of the
room and presented them with their
diplomas which admits them Into the
high school next fall. In a few well
chosen remarks Miss Viola Bennett
presented the memorial to the school
which is afltAautlful wall clock to be
hung in the front of the assembly
room to keep the class green In the
memory of the students. In behalf
of the Knights of Pythias lodge of
Hermiston Mr. George Root present­
ed three medals to students who had
won the highest honors in 'the Amer­
ican Citizenship essay contest re­
cently staged by the lodge. Two of
the class were winners, Miss Dorothy
Briggs first, and Miss Nida Patrick
second, while Matthew Gordon of the
Junior class came in third. The med­
als are beautiful gold, silver and
bronze, and will be worn with great
deal of pride by the lucky students.
Mr. Voelker then presented the Ore­
gon Conference scholarship to Miss
Marth% Winslow and the Whitman
scholarship to Miss Laurn Phipps,
these scholarships giving a year's free
tuition In College. Col. J. F. Me
Naught gave the class some splendid
advice as a preliminary address to
Ihe presentation of the diplomas. The
closing number In which the high
school joined was the song Alma Mat
er, which has been used for a number
of years to express the feeling of tho
outgoing class to the school which
they are leaving. The class compos-
ed of Jane Gunn, Nida Patrick, Laura
Phipps, Viola Bennett, Max Warrin
er, Albert Hedwall, Ruby Scott, Dor
othy Briggs and Martha Winslow
can look back to happy and success­
