The Commencement exercises which were held last Friday evening were very well attended.

The boys and girls looked very proud and happy as they received their diplomas and the distinction of being the first class to hold their exercises in the new hall.

The numbers were all very will given by the students and Rev. Orville Wold of the Lutheran Church of Stevens Point, who was the speaker, wove his theme around the class motto, "Forward."

He said that the better things in life are not found in the desire for power or money, or ease, but in the service towards ones fellow man comes the true happiness as one progresses "Forward."

Billy Creed received the Salter Scholarship and the Freshman Scholarship to the State Teachers College at Stevens Point.

Paul Olson and LaVon Domer were awarded little books called, "I Dare You" for outstanding leadership and ability.

Mr. Swan in his talk in presenting the awards, emphasized the value of diplomas and what it means to receive one.
