SALUTATORY, ORATIONS AND VALKDICTORY BY GRADUATES HEARTI LY RECEIVED-SUPT. TEITRICK PRESENTED DIPLOMAS The M. E. Church Not Large Enough to Accommodate the Crowd That Wanted ro Witness the Commencement Exeicises. The West Ueynoldsville public schools closed a very successful term lust Thursday. For the first time in tho history of the school, coinine lice incut exercises were held. Kev. 1. M. llart- luun, D. I)., CiiiulM'rland Presbyterian preaelier of Puiixsutawney, preached the baccalaureate sermon In the Ueyn- oldsvillo Presbyterian churcli Sunday evening. 4th Inst., to a largo congrega tion. Tho sermon was a owerful one and could not htlp but inspire all who heard it, esM'cially the young, to put forth greater efforts to win in the raeo of life. Beautiful potted plants In bloom were conspicuous In and around the pulpit. Monday afternoon a reception was held in the West Reynoldsvillc school building. Drawing, paper cutting and folding, geometrical forms, written work, &c, were on exhibition at the school building during tho reception. Some of tho work was very fine; it was all creditable. A notice had been sent that book donations for tho school library would bo thankfully received and twenty-eight volumes of excellent books were donated to the library that day. A largo number of tho parents and friends attended tho Monday after noon reception. Somo of the finest specimens of the pupils' drawings wore on exhibition in one of the largo show windows of A. D. Docmer & Co.'s store. Tho commencement exercises held in tho M. E. church Wednesday evening surpassed the sanguine expectation of the large audience that was packed into tho church like sardines In a box. The exercises wore to begin at eight o'clock, but peoplo began gathering in front of the church at seven o'clock and a quarter after seven, when tho church doors were thrown open, a crowd suHiciont to fill the large auditorium was In waiting and crowded into the church like a Hock of sheep getting through tho opening In a fence when the bars wore let down. Peoplo were turned away because thoy could not even got Btandlng room; both outsldo aisles wore filled the full length with people standing, who stood during the entire exercises almost two hours. At eight o'clock, while the orchestra played a march, tho graduates, Misses Etta Sykes, Elizabeth Kouhler,' Miloy Stiles and Mr, Milton M. Dompsey, marched into the church and took seats on the elevatdd platform. The program of the evening was then taken up. The first was an Invocation by Rev. J. W. Crawford, pastor of the church. The M. E. quartette, John Trudgen, John Redded i If o, D. M. Dunsmore nnd S. M. Lowther, favored the audience with a fine selection. Miss Etta Sykes then delivered the salutatory "A Welcome to Peace," which was delivered in a masterly manner. ' Tho orchestra, which was composed of nine pieces, played a selection after which Miss Mlley Stiles' oration, "Putting 011 the Brakes," was delivered. The oration was fine and contained good advice for all who heard it, especially those who re starting In life at a fast speed. "March Onward" was sung by the Aeolian Octette, Dr. H. Brown King, J. Fred. Gelslor, F. Penrose Alexander, 1 lll.H' Hi IIODI, III II.IHMl. SCHOOL ('OMMKXCKMKNT! F. Henry Beck, S. Max Lowther. T. Itooks Mitchell, II. Grant Woodward and P. W. Me Uenthin. This was followed by an oration, "Training the Young." by Miss Eli.uheth Kochler, which was certainly a very fine oration. Miss Frank in King sang a piece that was well received. The valedictory, "No Steps Backward," by Milton L. Dempsoy, closed tho participation on tho program by tho graduates. The octette sang. "A Catastrophe" and made such a gisid hit that they were called back for a second selection. Rev. Harry O. Teagarden, Cumberland Presbyterian preacher of Oliveburg, this county, and a t run tee of tho Waynesburg College, was Introduced by Prof. Mitchell to deliver the graduat ing address. Rev. Teagarden, who is a healthy and lino looking specimen of humanity, delivered a very able address. Ho is a good talker and a bright young man and it is not likely that tho congre gation at Oliveburg will get keeping him many years, as larger congregations are looking for just such ministers. After music by thooichestraoiir worthy and efficient county superintendent, Prof. R. B. Teltrick, delivered an address and presented the graduates with diplomas. Tho people were well pleased with tho evenings exercises and went totholr homes feeling that they had been repaid for venturing out in the mud and rain to attend tho commencement exercises.
