CLASS DAT WAS GREAT; BIG AUDIENCE DELIGHTED.

Graduates Exhibit Talent in Literature, Music and as Thespians and Are Lustily Encored.

The class day exercises by the graduating class at the opera house Tuesday night were of a very superior kind, greatly pleasing the large audience and bringing many compliments to the participants.

The program as below printed was carried out. The class song was composed and set to music by Miss Selma Leopold, a member of the class. It was catchy, and brought the first big cheer from the audience. The graduates were all on the stage when it was sung and the big class created a very favorable opinion, making certain that the class of 1910 ranks high among the twenty-eight classes that have completed the course in Rensselaer.

Following the class song came the class prophecy, depicting the members as the prophet imagined them forty years hence. The prophecy was in the shape of a comedy sketch with four actors, Nell Meyers, Chede Jordan, Lois McCarthy and Nell Ryan. Their hair was whitened with forty additional summers and it was amusing to follow their dialogue as they discussed the misfortunes of their class members, relating the circumstances under which they were seen. The sketch was prepared by Chede Jordan, assisted by the other members of the cast, and both as playwrights and actors they are very talented. Following the play came the class will by Selma Leopold. In It she disposed of everything that is loose about the school building, from the scratches on the desks to the faculty itself, which was offered to anybody that would have it, as the graduating class was glad to release it. It created quite a ripple of merriment.

The chief event of the program was the class play, most cabably produced by the cast shown below. The play is a comedietta in three acts, with plenty of sharp dialogue, perplexing situations, all the plot that a comedy can carry and the end-well climax that leaves everyone happy, the audience enraptured. The cast was admirably chosen, each being a. star and each performed with so much grace of action and cleverness of speech as to lend the appearance of past experience. There was a constant laugh all over the house and “His Uncle John” may be described as a very brainstorm of amusemetft. All in all it was a great success. Below is the program:

Obituary of Miss Lucy E. Beasley.

Lucy E. Beasley the youngest daughter of Ammon and Martha J. Beasley and was born in Remington April 2, 1887, and died in Indianapolis May 19, 1910, at the age of 23 years, 1 month and 17 days. Her mother died when she was only 6 months old and her father assumed the duties of both father and mother, with the aid of her older sisters and brother and kind and loving friends. By her loving disposition she became the idol of her family and endeared herself to all who became acquainted with her. She was very popular and her death cast a shadow over the entire community. Some ten years ago she united with the Christian church at Remington, and was always devoted to her church work. The funeral was held from the Christian church in Remington Sunday afternoon at 3:30 o’clock, Rev. Lookabill conducting the service. Burial was made in the Remington cemetery. The church was crowded with friends who gathered to pay their last tribute of respect to one whom the public had held so dear and many were unable to gain admission to the church but waited reverently outside until the service concluded and then joined the large procession to the cemetery. In her death the community has lost one of its best ypung women, the schools one of its most capable teachers and the world a bright flower of life, left but a short time to bring cheerfulness and sunshine and then taken away, leaving ghdness and shadows for a time in many homes. But the gospel of her life will have a bearing on many with whom she came in contact and it is well that she lived her life so well that the memory of it will never puss away. In Miss Lucy Beasley’s« death there is genuine sorrow in many homes and many hearts.

COMMENCEMENT EVENT OF MUCH ENJOYMENT.

Class of 1910 Launched Wednesday Night Upon Sea of Life with Great Encouragement for Future. The thirty young men and women composing the graduating class of 1910 occupied places on the rostrum at the Christian church Wednesday evening. Fronting them were some five hundred people, all interested in the future and all taking pride in the past of the class members. The high school chorus admirably trained by Miss Tremberth, the music instructress in the schools, sang three songs and sang them so well as to bring many compliments to themselves, and to their leader. The singing furnished a very entertaining part of the splended program that was carried out without a hitch.

The commencement address was delivered by Hon. Frederick Landis, who was presented to the audience by Superintendent Warren. After some words of encouragement to the class Mr. Landis entered into a discussion of the life and accomplishments of iCbraham Lincoln. His address was well received and carried with it the lesson of possibility to all the graduates, whom he sought to impress with the importance of making the most of life, by the proper use of the talents they possess. He held up the life of Lincoln as indicatipg what may be accomplished from the most lowly beginning and under the most pronounced discouragements.

Following his address Principal C. F. Bradshaw reviewed the work of the bast year, spoke of the lessons that have been learned and of the needs of the school and then presented the class as having satisfactorily completed the . course to George A. Williams, pres- - f ident of the school board, who spoke [ words of encouragement to the graduates and then presented them with their diplomas. The program was concluded by Rev. G. H. Clarke, who pronounced the benediction. The names of the graduates follow.
