CemiaeReeMrat Exercise* # f the Cedarville H igh Hcheel lVedacstay Evening. Cedarville commencement exercises always draw a crowd but never in for­ mer years was there such a crowd in the opera house as there was Wednes­ day evening. Long before tlie doors were opened they commenced to arrive and at 7:30 there was If sufficient number of people standing oh the street waiting, to occupy every seat in the house. The boys saw a chance for speculation and each tried to get into the building first to secure a good seat, which later in the evening, was sold at prices ranging from ten to fifty cents, some being so fortunate as to sell a seat in the dress circle and then rush up stairs and secure a seat and sell it. It is said by habitue* o f the opera house that neversince the house was built bad theie been such a de­ mand for seats before. The stage was beautifully decorated with flowers while across the front in white letters hung , the class motto, “A Posse ad Esse.” At 8:30 o’clock as Hawkin’s orchestra played a -selec­ tion, the class, accompanied by the members of the school board, Rev. Dudley and the superintendent of the schools, marched upon the stage and took their places. Rev. Morton The best is the cheapest. McCor­ mick Harvester is the furincite’ favor­ ite, because it is durable and always ahead o f its competitors. (>. l i .

Several member^ of the class, while members of the high -school disting­ uished themselves at oratorical and Demoreet contests, and their appear­ ance before audiences at former times gave them a self-possession they could not otherwise- have acquired, while other members o f the class, who lmd already learned; the lesson that there iH no excellence without labor bad -worked to excel as was evidenced by the manner in which they delivered their oration. Mies Hester Abroad delivered the {salutatory. The title o f liar p'aper, “Honor to Whom Honor is Due,” was well selected. The foundation of all, said she* was character, which is supported by seven pillars, viz: Truth- fullness, Purity, .Humility, Self-reli­ ance, Gentleness, Benificence and Fortitude, o f which graces she told in a logical manner the way they might bo kliowh in each character as it was the berries in rime to order more ice 1being formed, ih e jiaper w«a good cream.

Messrs. Cal. Barber, J . H. Wolford aud H . M; Htorment were ap|M>inted * committee to solicit funds. There is to be no charge for admission but everything will be free and we can with Confidence expect a large crowd on that day. We will give the program in full next week. to spur one on in the struggle for prominence, Miss Ida Wolford’s paper, “Measure Your Mind by the Shadow It Casts,” was well received. She commenced by congratulating the mmi who was doing that work to which his powers are beat adopted and Warned him to let no ambition tempt him from it, for by doing all in his power to make the shadow perfect and not as if it were a patch-work, after having adopted a plan in Accord with hi* ca­ pacity, he is or will become a man made after God’s pattern, the noblest production o f ihe wdridj'1a‘'%1f^lWd6 roan. To allow a shadow to follow that is not your own will ultimately j bring disgrace. The shadow fashions itself after the interest of th?mind and * b a man’s characterstamps itself upon his face so does habitual conduct im­ press itself upon the waif o f the pub­ lic as a shadow and in order to have a perfect shadow begin in the region o f the intellect. , “We Launch Our Boat, but Where is the Shore?” was the subject selected by John Smith. He likened the graduates o f the evening to the cap­ tain who is launching his boat, on the mighty deep, for were they not just leaving a safe harbor to journey on the unknown sea of life which would bear them on like the current of a mighty river? I t was worth one’s while to hear such a paper, aud we would like to produce it in full i f it were possible. - Miss Le Oma Badger had chosen for her subject' the old adage, “ Never Too Late to Mend.” She claimed that when we have done a thing either great or small that there is room for improvement. As age after age has has passed away decided progress marks each decade, and that alone- should teach ns that no' matter what we are striving for we should always aim higher and higher; that the wisest' o f our men were-' once in ignorance and their prominence was. entire­ ly due to an indomitable will to better each tormer effort. Referring then to the class she spoke o f their leaving the school room for other pursuits and bid them strive to attain a position that will be an honor to themselves and associates. Miss Lulu Morton’s paper “ Night Brings Out the Stars” was excel­ lent. Considering first, the natural night, she said that on a dark clear night the stars were more numerous and brighter than at any other time. Night is gloomy, dark and silent, but it also lias its beauty and its granduer, and as night brings out the stars ,«u Will also the intellectual night o f dif­ ficulties and disappointment* bring out i the stars. . The greatest and most suc­ cessful statesmen, ministers and phys icians have gained their success by overcoming obstacles, The hrightec stars that have adorned the literary galaxy are those which have shed forth their own luster. Taking a ret­ rospect o f the history o f the world she showed that the darkest blots only tended to add glory to the present age. Showing that as the uatural night brings out the stars so the intel­ lectual night brings out its stars that Bhine all the more radiantly for hav­ ing undergone the ordeal. “Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow” was the text o f Miss Minnie Fowler’s essay. Likening life to the ship launched on the ocean and journeying to the shore b'-yoiid, so are we slowly drifting upon life's broad expanse to a haven o f rest, knowing that on some tomorrow we will reach i t . ' We encounter storms and must labor diligently to avoid the breakers lest w« become shipwrecked. The duties seem hard hut consolation is gleaned by * backward look on the peaceful sea o f yesterday or looking foi ward to the possibilities of tomor­ row’s smooth sailing, Each day* la­ bor requives perseverance, energy and lovalty to the duties of the hour so we may at last reach that golden shore anil a peaceful security that will last through all eternity. Miss Ramsey, the valedictorian, took for her subject, “Tickets, Please, Be Sure You Getou the Right Train.” Mies Ramsey had beeu awarded first honors in a competitive examination anil her paper was looked upon as the event o f the evening.' Her valedic­ tory remarks were well timed and to the point. To the citiwtos |he spoke a favorable word for the school, o f its value to the town, and asked that all < should interest themselves in its wel­ fare, O f the scholars she requested diligent improvement o f the privileges they were now enjoying, while the board of education wa* congratulated upon' the high attainment of the school under their direction. To the super­ intendent the gratitude o f the class was expressed that he had proven a faithful teacher in the guidance of their minds in the pursuit o f knowl­ edge, and closing with the following to the, class o f ’92:~ “The time for which we have so long studiously waited, with longing and it may have been with impatience, is at hand, namely the time o f our graduation and leaving the Cedarville High School, With now much hope we nave looked forward to this day? Standing as we do upon this thresh- hold, and looking back over the days and years o f the past, our hearts are filled with Btrange and mingled feel­ ings.' Much o f the past has been bright, pleasant and profitable. The days o f study we'have enjoyed togeth­ er will be long remembered;.the var- ibUB teachers we have had, the differ­ ent roomB we have occupied, the old budding itself, all have a place in our hearts. We can no doubt see many things- in. our school life to regret, much that ought to have been differ­ ent, aspirations that have not- been realized, y ft the brightness exceeds thedarknesij, the joy surpasses' the sorrow. Blit our school days cannot last forever, these associations cannot always be enjoyed, these instructors ! cannot always be our guides; we must part with these aud with one another. And now, classmates, our work here is done, our class-room bond is sev­ ered, but our life work is before us, In different places, it inay be scattered far over the earth aud engaged in dif­ ferent pursuits, we shall continue to learn the lessons of life. May these he so well learned under the instruc­ tion of the Great, the Divine Teacher, that we will all be permitted to meet in that classwhere we will never have to say good-bye.” Alter the valedictory came the pre­ sentation of diplomas by the superin­ tendent, J. H. Sayrs, who7also pre­ sented Ernest Smith, iu behalf of Adrian college a scholarship in that institution. Rev. Dudley then ad­ dressed the class, occupying about twenty minutes but owing to tin lat iness o f the hour he was frequently interrupted by persons leaving the hall. Throughout the exercises'Haw­ kins orchestra rendered several choice selection's. • ’ Mrs. Lillie McFarland died at tlx home o f her parents in Springfield. Monday morning, after a lingerin.* illness. She leaves beside her hus­ band,: of this place, a ten-inonths-old balie, She was buried iu Fern Cliff Cemetery. ___________ Decoration day the Jamestown base ball team came over here to try and intoest the Cedarville hoys in ft game of ball. Cedarville has no team this season but when a neighboring club is anxious for a game the lioys run out into the by-ways and hedges aud scare up a “ nine” iu some manner. Such was the case Monday, and while our boys liml not played ball any this year the result was in their favor at the $ud of the ninth inning,, as the score show­ ed Cedarville 10 runs and Jamestown 7. Ahen Jamestown limits a “saus­ age” next time she will start out iu some other direction. The following is the weather report for May 1892, as compiled for the Herald by Samuel Creswell: Temperature 01°, rain 14 days, cloudy 7 days, clear 10 days, thunder storms 6, frosts 3, hottest day 31st 70°, coolest day 12th 49°, By comparing May 1892 with 1891 this May was one degree warmer than lastMay with nine more rainy days this year and and five more frosts last year than this, so that altogether this has not lieeu so disagreeable a May as some would imagine.
