Class yell.On the next evening the commencement exercises were held. The address was delivered by Prof. Newell Gilbert, ex-superintendent of the Austin schools. He spoke of the coincidence that it was twelve years ago since he first took charge of the Austin schools, just at the time when this class was entering the first grade. He commented upon the fact that it was only one in nineteen that entered the schools at the time who took the entire course. He said that this in part was caused by the fact that the school was not what the rest wanted, and maintained that the course should be broadened to meet the demands of the intense industrial development of our country. He assured his audience that the expense of industrial schools would repay society for the outlay.This was followed by a few well-timed and appropriate remarks by Prof. Buck, in which he asked the class never to forget in the future to press onward and upward, and above all, to be true men and women.After the presentation of diplomas and awarding of the class honors the newly graduated class were entertained by the alumni in their twelfth annual banquet. The reunion of the alumni was happy, the welcome of the class of 1900 hearty. After the banquet Mr. Roy O. Gilbert, ’96, the toastmaster of the evening, called upon the members of the Alumni for the following toasts:1. “Welcome into Alumni,” Walter Jacobs, ’99.2. Response by class—J. Roscoe McCord, ’00.3. “Faculty”—Miss Nellie E. Wilcox. ^4. “Expansion”—Miss Lilly Block, ’92.5. Best of All—toasts by many of the alumni and teachers.The banquet was a great success and a happy ending to two of the most eventful and entertaining days. The class of 1900 is now a thing of the past —only a part of the Alumni of Austin High School.
