The Beal Thing in Straw* Rate* M m Y*tM 9 Pwple Clow Their Connection Withth®HighSchool With Excellent papers wriRecrive OlptosMS, At the hour of feighto’cloek last eight the Opera House was full of the he«t people of Cedarvilleand vicinity, all having come to witness the gradu­ ating exercises of the class of 1900. The stage was beautifully decorated ' with flowers, and purple and orange bunting, the class colors. The music for the evening was fur­ nished by the Euterpeap orchestra of Bloomiugburg, Ohio, which played a piece between every two orations. The invocation was offered by Supt, ft. A. Brown, Prof. Sayr’s .successor, The orations were all excellent, and as they were all delivered well; it would be impossible to say which did the best We have tried to give a synopsis of each production, but to be appreciated, it is necessary to hear the whole oration. RALPH BULL. Ralph Bull was the first of the graduates to deliver his. oration. ‘•Honor” was the subject chosen .by him, and he handled it iu a very beat manner, ‘Commencing with the Rory of the death of Leonidas and b» three hundred ' brave soldiers at the pass of Thermopylae, he showed flit men had considered honorable Ms, down to the present day. In Daolden dayis honor was only be- utored on those who were skillful yfth their arms and brave Tn war. At the beginning of this century it was considerable dishonorable to re­ fuse to fight a duel when challenged How all that is changed and men of science and our great writers, and inventors are honored quite' as much m the heroes in war. o f the world, by our responses to the demands of occasions sod to the necessities of our occupations,, which will affect the verdict in our own particular case." “The jury that tries us is not lim­ ited to twelve men. but is composed of those of the world with whom we shall come in contact." The speaker enumerated the many advantages which the class had on- joyed which would fit them for the trial of life, The oration was original and well, spoken. MERLK MCFARLAND. Miss Merle .McFarland came next on the program with an oration en­ titled, “Man's Existence, A Beauti­ ful Possibility." Under this head the speaker spoke of the mind of ninn, what it hns accomplished, and what cau be done with a well trained mind, “The mind must be such as to enable him who possesses it to adapt himself to all the vicissitudes of life. 'H e must he able to discover and to in­ vent if lie would prove beneficial to the wcrhl and to those around him.” It was because of Columbus's strong -mind that America was discovered, and by the Same power that Edison .produced his wonderful inventions. By a skillful argument and apt illus­ tration, the speaker proved that it was through the mind . that “Man's Existence will become a Beautiful Reality." EVA CRESWELL. Miss Eva Creawell stated that the worldis divided into classes, those who lift and those who lean, making her subject personal and in the form of 4 question, “Will you Lift or Lean," “Wherever we may go in our homes, in school, in places of business or with whomsoever we may be as­ sociated, we meet with those who are always ready to help others to attain « higher standard in life, and lend a Wiping hand to those who seem to be overburdened. While there are those who are always shirking and depend- iag on others for what they should do themselves." These two classes of people were we!! depicted by the speaker, and the (fleet of their lives upon their fellow nen. The oration was good in thought and well rendered. ROBERT HARRISON. “Oar Nation’s Progress" was dis- « hmh 1by Robert Harhlson. He be* fl*» With a vivid description of the •sedition of this country one hundred pars ago, and what our forefathers had to overcome in order to get this •alien on a firm foundation. He then tonjiered the condition o f things A m with our civilisation of today. “Then the United States was Wskadl open with contempt by nearly **!fin nations of the old world, very Wr of them recognising her as an Wfcpeadent country. But Today she toad# equal .and in many respect# ••flwior to the best nations of the wwW," The oration closed with a warning • regard to the many daagera which fitosieu this country. Mr, Harbison * a pleasing speakAi and the oration to# well delivered. xatikhis «* t . “I #mDone- Take the Witness,* toe the original subject selected by Katie Nisbet, Th# following *»• wma of her acuteness which show "•drift of her thought; “Life is * Jto* ** *11of we, Hot f t Hit MUM • • t we*r*ca!prH»-.tH»t that w* m ptotowi Iu. mtr own hahatf, awl tool .to tor answer*!* th# FRANK ORE. Mr. Frank Orr appeared as the champion of the Boers in their strug­ gle with Great Britain, under the sub­ ject, “Another Nation’s Struggle for Liberty." He first compared the strength of the two countries and their military training. He then spoke of'the causes of grievance be­ tween the two countries, showing that the Boers are in the right and Eng­ land wrong, “The Boers in this war have the same spirit that prompted the farmers at Lexington; that nerved the American arms at Bunker Hill, that warmed the hearts of Washington and his freezing sol diers a t Valley Forge." “Brave was the wonderful charge of Picket’s men and the equally bravo defense of the Union troops on the blood stained heights of Gettysburg. Brave were the BOO at Thermopylae; but equally brave are the humble peasants, seeking death, climbing the rugged heights of Bpion Kop, willing to die if need be to save their country from the British. The Boers will never submit. I t is liberty or death. MARY BTSRREIT. The audience all wondered what Miss Miss Mary Sterrett would make out of her subject “A. B, C,” but from her first sentence it was dear that these letters stood for Aims, Battle, Conquest. Bhe began with these striking sentences, “Life is made up of a series of aims and desires. Prosperity or success is a continual battle With discouragement and disappointments. But to him who has set his aim high and fought a courageous battle, the conquest is sut# and his labor has not been in vain. Among th# thing# which the speaker emphasised, were a high aim, zealous labor, and taking advantage of the little things. The oration was well written and well delivered. ELLA jr. WEAKLEY. Miss Ella Weakley gave art excel­ lent oration on th# subject: “Build­ ing th# Wall.*’ She first spoke of the nations of thep##t and the gtory they attained. But although the##nation# and people have lived and died, we are profiting today by {their ex* ntrieuce, and are using what ws have Iterated from them in building our walk In th# walk «#& * week to do. “Haver aay you *»« not satry the material# yen oanaot piaos them. Let us work to. ffca)*w*rJf#td»until* •#« **** * ns to take up higher work. I t is better to mix tba mortar well than to lay the topmost stone insecurely," The oration throughout was well written nnd full of excellent ideas. LULU OWENS. Min Lulu Owens would have graduated iu the daw of 1892, if she had not bean prevented by sickness. She bad done all the work required of a high' school graduate except de­ livering an oration. This she did last night and received her diploma along with the d#w of 1900. “Her topic was: “On Small Hinges Swing the Doors of Life," An idea of her oration may be obtained from the first sentence, “When the I ur - toriau begins to construct a story from the fragments of the Past, two ele­ ments must -govern his procedure. H o ' nrtist botli regard the persons whose actions form the material for his history and the results which those actions superinduced." Along these two lines she dearly portrayed on how “small hinges swing the doors of life” aud “ trifles light as air make up the sum of human life." C O G ITA T IO N S Sup t J , H. Sayre in a neat speech, presented the diplomas to the daw, it being the ninth time that he has performed that duty before a Cedar- viile audience. The immense crowd then left the hall feeling that the training which our schools were af­ fording the youth of the town was o f first daw order. C taring L iwclw >Hto Schools. The dosing exercises of the differ­ ent grades of the schools were some­ thing out of the ordinary this week. Instead of giving these exercises in their rooms a t the school building, they were given in the Opera House, Wednesday and Thursday of this week, and during each session the Opera house was crowded with the patrons of the school. The exercises consisted of declamations, songs, dia­ logues and drills. :We wish especially to mention the drill given by the 7th and 8th grades, Mias Blair’s pupils. The girls were dressed in blue and red cheese doth and the boys in white duck, and as they were drilled on the stage and sang the national airs, they presented a very pleasing appearance.

We da not know that Adam's ox was was really worth knowing, but take it for granted, since everybody seems to think he was a pretty good sort of an indi­ vidual to know. I f you seem a little hashfuk^folks may think you do not own the show. That would be an evidence of provincialioni very hu­ miliating to admit. Try to have the lislier take you to the wrong seat, so that you will be obliged to make n tOur of the entire house extra, thus giving everybody an opportunity of seeiug that you are present. jl - It is not the best form to like any play that comes along, and then folks who do not know, that you haven’t money enough to buy n setting hen will imagine that you have seen the best in the metropolitan cities. Not many will believe it, especially ifThey see your celluloid collar and your big, angular feet, hut strangers won’t knowany better. Quarrel some with the ushers and let the people know that your money Is as good a#’anybody rise’s. >•They won’t know that you:got it for leading the bull dogs in the parade. . Talk about the play in a loud voice, so that your neighbors will be much annoyed by your rancous gabble and your breath that smells like fifteen cents worth of winter onions. When the orchestra playB, don’t listeu, but talk boisterously and laugh loudly, particularly at your own jokes. Otherwise they may not lie laughed at. Borrow somebody’s opera glasses and pretend they are your own. I f you see anybody on the op­ posite sideof the opera house for whom you1 have sawed wood in the last week, go over and talk to them be­ tween acts, and stumble over ns.'many people’s feet in getting there, as you possibly can. I t gives you an air of reckless abandon aud independence that you wouldn’t have if you paid your debts and kept your teeth brushed. Pretend to go to sleep during the performance and folks will think you have been around so much that you are tired of the whole business and have become somewhat “ blase,” If you -can manage to go out be­ tween act# it will add to yonr reputa­ tion and won’t cost much, I f you can get about five cents of whisky killer, the people will think you have been against the real thing, and it will not cost you a great deal. No­ body will know that you are just a cheap skate. When the show is over, the best way to show that you are used to be­ ing out till after ten o’clock is to get Up before the last act closes and make a rush for the door. I t show# that you know enough to go home when the show is over and nobody will think that you are making your living sponging off your mother, who support# the whole family by taking in washing. I t i« always a sign ofgood breeding to make a grand stampede for the doors when you see that the play is about to end. I t helps out those who wish to hear the close, and gives the people on the stage a chance to reach the climax, Some worldly folks might want to shoot you with a big, over­ grown, double barreled shotgun that Scatters, hut you needn't care for that. You are not afraid. Follow these rules, and you will be the delight of every theatre manager from Maine to California, even if you don't know California fVom th# story of Bluebeard. “-GotoUrkta then In Xenia for nfos dean meal.
