Eighth Grade Graduation
Program Given Monday Evening, Marked by
Its Excellence---Six Honor Pupils in Class
The program given by the
graduating class of the Grammar School this year followed the usual
line adopted some years ago, with the presentation of a playlet. This
year's skit was prepared under the direction of Miss Cavanaugh, and
showed care in the selection of the characters and in the drilling.
The doll wedding, given by a group of the girls, was also well
rendered and received most heartily by the audience which filled the
Oakland for the occasion. Mary Hayes gave two fine piano solos in a
manner that is exceptional for one of her age.
The first scholarship prize of $5
went to Helen Mapes, while the second and third went to Reta
Vanderburgh and Ralph Lawson respectively. Honorable mention was
given to Paul Miller, Alexander Peschel and Alec Frick.
The W.C.T.U. Prizes for essays
on Prohibition went to Reta Vanderburgh for the eighth grade and
Frances Baird for the seventh grade.
