Monday, | High School Commencement. | Tuesday, Class Play. ' Granp Rarips, Irasca CounTY, MINnN., WEDNESDAY, JUNE 3, 1908. Better’ is asbig subject, but not too big for the man who occupied the stage at the auditorium Tuesday and we believe that every man, woman and child in that big audience will be better for having heard him. The class of "08 is to be oongratulated upon securing the services of so able a man. The high school choruses were handled by the pupils in an able manner and were beartily encored as well as the work of the orchestra. Prof. Freeman presented the diplomas to the graduates in a few well chosen words and the audience was dismissed by Kev. H. R. Scott with a benedic- tion. Tuesday evening brought to a ciose the exercises and a most delightful occasionit proved. The affair was entirely under the charge of the gradtjating class and the following program was presented to an enthusi- astic audience: PART I. Music—Orchestra. Salutatory—Ernest A. Reid. Harold Luther ’09 Jenkins Donald Fraser 09 Katberine Luke Lillian Ring Miss Marion Bryant Ruth Carrier’11 Patty Zita Doran Miss Rebecca Luke - Hilda Hepfel The graduates, each and every one, deserve commendation for the careful preparation of their subjects and the able manner in which they presented them to the audience. ‘‘Mr. Bob” is an extremely funny play and was well presented, the actors being letter perfect in their parts, and the aud- ience was kept laughing from start to finish. The gift from the class of ‘08 is a handsome electric clock and gong system that will be installed in the high school building during =the summer yacation. t MOOSE LODGE A TOTAL LOSS Vance’s Big Fork Home Entirely Mr. Brown after all were in bed, and they had gained such beadway that saving the buildibgs was impossible. There were four men working at the place and all began at once to save goods from the the store and lodge. After carring the stock and household furniture out it caught afire and all burnt up including the piano and the family’s clothing. Mr. Vance had to go to Wirt in his bare feet, and his daughter in her night clothes. Mr. Vance estimates his loss at between $8,000 and $10,000. The misfortune comes at the worst time for him, as the fishing season is near and many summer boarders had engaged quart- ers at the resort. Mr. Vance was Dot certain whether he had any insur- arce in-effect or not, but thought he had a little, and was overjoyed to find upon investigation that be had an- unexpired policy for $5,000..in Bol- ter’s agency. Mr. Vance will at once Start to rebuild, and he expects to be ready for the early tall trade. employ of the St. Anthony Furni- ture company and the bride has beer a resident of Grand Rapids for the past seven years. After the ceremony a breakfast was served and at one o’clock Mr. and Mrs. Reed departed for Thief River Falls where they will make their futurehome.
