Library LEBANON HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATES BIG CLASS One of the largest crowds ever assembled in the First Methodist church in Lebanon, was present Friday evening to witness the graduating exercises of the class of 1922. The chancel was decorated with pink roses and trailing vines, and the expectant crowd eagerly awaited the entrance of the largest class graduated in the history of the school. The program opened with a piano duet by Miss Bess Bach and Ann Wilson, rendered in their usual finished style, and to the closing strains of a march the class entered, followed by Supt. Burgess F. Ford, Mrs.

Delphine Taylor, principal of the high school, M. D. Shanks of the board of education, Re. A. C.

Brackenbury, and J. A. Churchill, state superintendent of publie instruction, the speaker of the evening. Following invocation by Rev.Brackenbury, the class gave the high school song, and the girls in their in their dark suits made a pleasing simple organdie dresses and the picture, as they sang together for the last time the song which won first place in the contest which is an' annual event in the school. -Supt.

Ford then introduced the speaker of the evening as one who is vitally interested in the welfare of the high school graduates in our state and. to whom he gladly gave the invitation to be present on this most auspicious occasion. Supt. Churchill then gave a memorable address, prefacing his remarks with a brief resume of his career since coming to Oregon in 1891 when he became city superintendent of Baker, Oregon, which postition he held for 22 years. At that time there gon, one at Baker, one at Ashland, were but three high schools in Ore- And one at There was that time interest taken in higher education in the state, public opinion being that an eighth grade education was all that the state should grant, those wishing higher education seeking it at their own expense.

Since that period public sentiment has changed in a marked degree. Today we have 240 standard high schools in Oregon, and this year 3500. students graduated from higher educational Then gon did not take the pains to inquire where she ranked in an educational way. Today she stands first, Iowa being' second. The value of an education for the boys and girls who will take their place among the citizens of the future was earnestly set forth by Mr.

Churchill who declared we are living in a period when more than ever before we need trained, minds. in sound bodies to meet. the demands of the times. Mr. Churchill congratulated the school patrons and faculty on the fact that so many young men were among the class.

Too often the graduating class from high schools is made up of girls who have seemed in the past to be more ambitious than boys in seeking higher education. Mr. Churchill also made an earnest plea for the present millage tax, saying that our state can ill afford to lessen the tax for educational purposes and thereby lower our present standard of efficiency. The speaker was accorded earnest attention and at the close was given hearty applause. Following the address H.

A. Swatford delighted the audience with whistling solo accompanied by Miss Bach on the piano. Mr. Swafford Was forced to respond with an encore giving the old familiar air, "Listen to the Mocking Bird." The class was presented by Mrs. Delphine Taylor, principal, to D.

Shanks of the board of education, who in a brief address congratulated the class and urged them to reflect credit on their school as they went forth to meet life. He then presented the diplomas and as the class filed by, the happy smile on the faces of the graduates was reflected on the faces of the patrons to whom they were related, for it meant one task accomplished and one more step taken on the pathway of life. When the class was again seated, Sapt. Ford made the announcement of scholarships, Miss Margaret Booth winning the one to Willamette, the choice of the Willamette valley scholarships, which honor was shared by Arthur Wight. The Whitman college scholarship went to Noble Mastenbrook.
