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

Phillips' leading man In a number of
productions and stnrrod under tho
Universal bannor In "Fighting Mad."

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.
