r PA"QE EIGHT MEDFOttD MXTTJ TRIBUNE, MTCDFORP, OREGON", FRIDAY, JUNTO 27, 1010 H. S. GRADUATION EXERCISES HELD AT PAGE Big Bill Hart Liberty Tonight The members of the graduating class, to paraphrase an utterance of Prof. Matthews in his address, were 11 big ducks In a big puddle lost night at the annual commencement exercises of the Medford high school. And today they are no longer gos lings under the watchful supervision of teachers tout are free and boldly facing lite. 'Last night's event was the 27th annual occasion of Its kind In the history of tho Medford schools and one of the most delightful of commencements from every angle. The curtain arose to the Soldiers Chorus, by Gounod, played by the high school orchestra, shortly 'before 9 o'clock and disclosed to the aud ience which tilled the Page theater, a 'beautiful sight with the class mem bers seated, the young men in som bre garb sandwiched here and there among the handsomely gowned young ladles, each of whom carried a bunch of sweet peas. The front of the stage was banked with Dorothy Perkins roses which had been arranged by the junior class, and in the rear of this were banked the many floral bouquets sent to the graduates by admiring relatives and friends. Seated at the sides of the stage were the faculty members and speakers who took part in the pro gram, and in the center . nestling -among the flowers was the silver lov-. lng cup memorial presented to the high school by the 191$ class. The address by Prof. James T. (Matthews of Willamette university, was one of the finest and most in spiring ever heard at a Medford com mencement. Without the slightest attempt at oratory, but delivered in a. sort of friendly conversational manner. Prof. Matthews' earnest re marks were full of practical common sense and homely phrases, punctuat ed with a delicious humor and pleas antry. ' ' His address was based on the bib lical Jacobs dream and ladder and the lesson and advice all the way thru for the audience as well as the graduates was that it was good to dream and mount the ladder heaven ward thru life, but always to have your ladder on a firm ground foun dation.'. No matter how wild and ex travagant your ambitious dreams you would be held safe and sane by hav- j ing your feet firm on the ground at all times. . Some of the home-made axioms and bon mots uttered by the speaker were as follows: "Be a big duck in a big puddle it you can." "Be a little duck in a big puddle it you must." -'- "It is grand to be a big duck in a little puddle but you cannot . make men and women think so." - v "It is better to be in the place that needs you than to be where you wish to be."; ' I "The man who goes after a thing with his whole heart is very likely to come back with it." "There is a good reason why you are in your place rather than some where else." "No pldce is without responsibility atd. any honorable place is better then none at all." In closing his remarks Prof. Mat thews gave the graduates this Injunc tion: "Keep thy heart with all dili gence for out of it are the issues of life." ' The .valedictory address by Miss Helen Brown was a gem in texture and brevity, exceptionally well deliv ered. She uttered the farewell of the class on this night of nights, to its members at Its last high school func tion. "When one views a thing corn Dieted one foreets all the unnleasant trials and remembers only the pleas ant side and the joys,.' she said in part. "It pleases us and warms our hearts to find so many friends are Interested and feel too the bignesB of our commencement. So each and every one of us bids each and every one of you the heartiest and most sincere of welcomes." . The valedictory by Sharon Merri man was ably and Impressively delivered.- After referring to the pa tience, kindness and generosity of the teachers and uttering gratitude therefor, and expressing thanks also to all patrons of the schools and the citizen body in generally who were instrumental in making the Medford ; schools what they are the speaker launched forth into a dissertation in which he pointed out the importance of the country's welfare that the ris ing generation should be educated to a. higher degree of intellectual effic iency 'uecause vi iu uuaugea - uuu problems arising from the great world war,- If we wish to continue and broaden our Ideals of the princi ples of justice and freedom. Two of the most delightful fea tures of last night's program were the vocal solo, "Nymphs and Pawns" by Bem'lierger, sung by Miss Naomi r SHU W ti. I net rU JV.ILLIAM S.HARJT " a" Breed of Men t To see "Big Bill" Hart ride, shoot and rope steers in a Western photo play, is a delight. There are few cow punchers in the west who have Wil liam S. Hart's skill in these accom plishments and when they are seen in a motion picture play, the real thing Is reproduced. In his new pic ture, "Breed of Men," which will be shown at the Liberty theatre tonight. Mr. Hart discloses his ability to ride, shoot and rope as few men are ablo to do. The action centers about the ef forts of a land shark to swindle the settlers in Arizona bottomlands. How he is brought to book by the sheriff, played by William S. Hart, is shown graphically in the denouement of the startling story of life as It is lived in the far southwest. , Alfred L. Chapman, the Custer scout, the only living white man who witnessed Custer's massacre, will lec ture tor the last time tonight. . HERO OF HEART OF A William Stowell, who plays tho part of the hero, a Canadian aviator In "The Heart of Humanity," Allon Holubnr's newest production, which shows the human sldo of the groat war, passed throo weeks at a Califor nia military aviation ennip studying tho habits and make-up of aviators In order to mako his purt realistic. Stowell has been Miss Dorothy Phillips' leading man In a number of productions and stnrrod under tho Universal bannor In "Fighting Mad." Stowell claims tho distinction of playing In tho first threo-reoler over maile. "The Landing of Columbus." Stowell was new to tho industry then and played several parts In tho pic ture, as was required of almost every cinema actor In those days. Stowoll win ik sn.Mi in "The Heart of Hu manity" at the Page theatre begin ning Sunday.

BERLIN. Juno 2(i.-rTho German covernmcnt troops ordered to Ham burg to suppress disorders there reached the suburbs of tho eitv tins mornmir. The troops ordered the im mediate cessation of hostilities, the release of all prisoners .held bv com munists and tho delivery of weapons. Mr. and M rs. Carl Blau and Earl tonnlng of Seattle, are a tourist par ty at the Holland. Wilson, and the violin Solo, "Sou venir," by Ddrla, played by Riley Davis. Both of these talented mem bers of the class were compelled to respond to encores. The invocation was delivered by Rev.. W. B. Hamilton and the bene diction by Rev. W. T. S. Spriggs. The diplomas were presented by Dr. R. G. Riddel, president of the board of education. Superintendent William Davenport introduced the speaker of the evening, Prof. Matthews. Prior to the presentation of" the diplomas Principal P. E. Baker of the high school, made brief address in presenting the class In which he paid tribute to its worth. Mr. Baker created much merriment by stating that he had, carefully rehearsed a speech alone with God in the base ment of the high school, but had forgotten it all and that God alone knew what it was. He introduced Lee Jacobs, presi dent of the 1918 class, who explained that the silver loving cup memorial bad been purchased by that class out of Its $100 war savings stamp money and presented to the high school with the simple proviso that on the cup will be engraved each year the name of the valedictorian of that year's class. Thus the name of Sharon Merriman will be the first to be en graved on the cup.
