The program opened with a sel
flion by the Nome High School Dr

\\ Polet. and that young lady gav ■
c pretty welcome to all present in
j manner that bore evidence of fine
iluss spirit and much care in the
trepanation.
t Miss Ada Arthurs appeared next
<n the program and rendered a vocal
election, accompanied at the piano
iv Mrs. J. S. Stamrroom. Miss Ar

lever technique.
The Class History and Prophesy
.••sip given by Miss Kristie Sathor.
Miss Kristie was perfectly at ease at
ill times before her audience, and
rave a Class History and Prophesy
that would have done much credit
1c a lady of more mature years.
Her delivery was excellent, and the
thoughts expressed were beautiful,
and well selected.
A vocal solo was then rendered by
Mrs. L. K. Kynning. Mrs. Kynning
please<l her audience so thoroughly
that she had to respond to an en
core. and had it not been for the fact
th.-.t she responded, the audience'
v/ould have been applauding yet.
■Federal Judge 0. J. Lomen deliv
ered the Commencement Address,
in a scolarly and masterful manner.
He pleased his audience thoroughly,
and gave to the young graduates a
■number of thoughts which should
remain with them a long way on
their journey through life.
Superintendent L. E. Kynning
1 ••csented the Diplomas to the Class
ooi gratulati-ng each one on his suc
cessful completion of his High
School career, with well chosen re
marks which fitted the occasion.
Ti»e Valedictory was delivered by
Jack Hamlyn. Jack had a hard po
sition on the program, in that all
the other members of his Class had
acquitted themselves so nobly, it
v.:i< up to Jack to do something out
of the ordinary in the matter of de
livery. and Jack surely did it. His
address was excellently prepared,
vnched in the most perfect English
and delivered like the great lawyer
his Class Prophet delineated him as
being in her vision. Whatever else
.Tick may not be abic to do. he can
assuredly deliver a Valedictory.
Through error and inadvertance,
the Class Song, written by Miss Em
ily Polet and Miss Kristie Sather.
was omitted from the program. In
order that the (public may not miss
