ELEVEN GRADUATE EROM HURON HIGHOne of the Largest Classes to Graduate from the High School of the City of Huron jFour Members of the Class Are Young Men and Seven of the Class Members Were Born in Huron—A Short Outline ofEach OrationOne of the largest classes to graduate from the high school of t*he city of Huron, and a class containing the greatest number of young men, was the class of 1903, the lfith class to graduate from the Huron city schools. The graduation exercises were held in the opera house and that auditorium was packed with an interested and enthusiastic audience, every member of which listened to the orations of the graduates with the closest attention. Contrary to a custom which is being adopted quite generally of late, fhat of hiring some prominent educator to address the class, each member of the class prepared an oration and the class members and the audience were vastly more pleased at this method of procedure than had a speaker of renown been engaged to address them. There being eleven in the class the program was of necessity a long one, but it was enlivened with several musical selections and waa therefore not tiresome.The first number on the program was an Instrumental selection by Miss Glenn, which was followed by the invocation and then a song by the high school chorus. Miss Boughton, the salutatorian, then followed w ith her oration and two others followed her, and another song by the chorus. “The .Lost Chord,’’ rested the audience. Four more orations followed, and then Miss YanderStein and Mr. Hull favored the audience with a violin duet before the last three orations. A song by the high school chorus closed the evening's program.The orations were all very good, the first one delivered being that entitled 4‘Pilgrims'’ by the salutatorian.labedibelt;qusermeonlt;legsocalrairaiuslt;ticfidlieprhibtatncwlorbrLtThe let Louisiana slip between his fingers that before the close of the* century the new country would be the dominating country of the western hemisphere, one of the powers of the; world, a country that could whip) France and a country w ith a larger population and a greater wealth than France, the nation which sold it to procure money for the carrying on of the campaign of its idolized emperor.”Mr. Gibbs spoke of the resources and the great wealth of the west, of “Da-j vnkota with her mines of gold and tin! and the finest of grazing lands and; wheat fields, Colorado with her silver; and gold mines, Washington and.

Helen of Troy was the first woman leader cited, and from her down through the centuries to Susan B. Anthony and Francks Ei. Williard she named many who were the leaders of thought and action of their time.Joan of Arc saved Fiance at it* most perilous time, though the serv; ice she did her country was not recognized at the time and she was sum* marily executed; Isabella of Spa aided Columbus and Catherine Gray of Russia was a great aid to Peter the Great: Harriet Beecher Stowe did * great work for her country, so did PI a ra Barton.
