GRADUATION SERVICES
The stage at Red Men's Hall last
night was a veritable forest dell, with
its bankings of evergreens, beautiful
1 flowers and galaxy of fair maids. In
deed a fit setting for the charming
dignity of the momentous occasion,
and the two young girls who received
, the first diplomas ever presented to
high school graduates in Ketehikan.
have much to remember at this won
derful epoch in their lives. Ketchikan
feel? a great deal of pride and re
flected honor, in the attainments of
her first graduates, and the ovation
accorded them by the audience was
most sincere and hearty.
The opening number "Spring Song'
by the school chorus of girls all in
white was appropriate and effective.
The Salutatory by Edith Swanson,
entitled "Pay Drents' was an ideal
theme, beautifully expressed and in
spiring in nobie sentiments. Miss
Swanson's sincerity :s sweet to be
hold. and it is hoped that her visions
and dreams may be realized and bring
her many blessings.
The principal address by Rev. Paul
Kerns, was a masterly discourse that
held the closest attention of all pres
ent, Rev. Kerns is a man of vast
learning, who has traveled extensive
ly all over Europe and America, and
handled his subject. "Education, a
Life Task" with power, polish of dic
tion and fluency. His topic was es
pecially interesting and appropriate
for the occasion
Miss Elaine Hunt favored the au
dience with a vocal solo called "The
Four Leaf Clover" a quaint and pret
ty little song in her own and inimat
abl- sweet way. responding with the
las; verse af’er insistent applause.
Miss Alice Kincaid, one of Ketchi
kan s favorite and much loved young
girls, who has spent the most of her
girlhood vear- in the north, chose
very appropriately "Our Alaska” for
her valedictory, giving a brief review
of its history, from the time of Us
purchase by the L\ S. from the Rus
sians. and statistics of its wonderful
resources and still more wonderful
possibilities. The sincerity of her
last remarks addressed to the school
board, teachers, classmates and es-:
pechilly to parents for their co-opera
tion. love and care which count for
so much in school life, was a beautiful
tribute of appreciation and gratitude
Mis' Swanson and Miss Kincaid, who
prepared their essays entirely them-1
selves, art' deserving a great deal of
credit for their construction and do
livery, which in both cases was fault
less.
President Mr. Hounsefell made a
short address and in conclusion said
that it afforded him the greatest pleas
uro to present the first high school
diplomas ever awarded in Ketchikan, i
and especially to two such deserving
young girls.
The program was effectively closed
by tlse "Good Night" number by the
school chorus. Those who presided
were* Miss Neita Mitchell, principle,
Miss A. Mary Mitchell, teacher of
graduating class. Mr. RounaefeH and
Mr. W. G. Strnog of the school board.
Mr Petty who was to have been pres
ent was unavoidably detained, but ar
