This was considered by every one the most successful Alumni gathering held for many years. he. beauties of fraternalism need but tto be seen to be appreciated. For instance, we read just this week of a lodge secretary who for some reason or other neglected to give an editor a share of the lodge printing, but the spirit of fraternity was so strong in that make up thatinstead ot ripping the secretary up the back and showing that he came, west to dodge his creditors he merely contented himself with complaining that the secretary didn't tote fair.

Now just think what would have happened to that organization if it had been a telephone company instead of a fraternal society. Mrs. Robert Andrews was called to Effingham last account of the illness of the little grandchild. Dr. Andrew's baby was quite sick of fever.

If there is an institution of which our people are justly appreciative and pardonably proud it is our public schools. They have reached a degree of excellency and thoroughness which gives them a name far beyond their natural limits. The Board of Education is careful to secure only the best instructors for the different departments and when a class has passed through each of these, and stands ready for graduation, its members are certainly well prepared for a higher education or are well fitted for the ordinary walks of life. The entire corps of teachers have given entire satisfaction, but we wish especially to compliment Superintendent A. R.

Williams and Principal F.M. Ham-mett who had most to do with the graduating class this year. The commencement exercises were more largely attended than for several years. These exercises consisted of a baccalaureate proper and the alumni banquet. The baccalaureate service was held at the Armory Sunday evening May 10.

The sermon was delivered by Rev. Baxter Waters of the Christian church. The commencement was held at the Armory, Friday evening, May 15. At 8:30 the class accompanied by Superintendent, Williams, T. Mc Laughlin, president of the Eoard of Education, and Prof.

J.M. Greenwood, speaker of the evening, were ushered onto the stage. The stage had been beautifully decorated by i the Juniors class which also most excellent service as ushers. sThe exercises, commenced with a piano duetTby Mrs. Challiss and Mrs.

Wheeler which was rendered in their usual telented manner. After the invocation by Rev. Hassenpfiug, the male quartette composed of Messrs Zimmermann, Heimlich, Work and Walters, rendered that de'ightful melody, "Kentucky Babe." Superintendent Williams then introduced the speaker, Prof. Greenwood of the Kansas City schools. His address abounded in practical thoughts and was one of the best ever given in Hiawatha.

The Board of Education congratulate themselves upon being able to secure such an interesting speaker. Following the address was a solo by Miss Stella Jones. Miss Jones was at her best and well sustained her reputation as Hiawatha's favorite singer. Prof. Williams, in a short address recommended the class for graduation and T.

McLaughlin, as president ot the Board of Education, presented them with their diplomas. After the benediction by Rev. Hassenpfiug the graduates received the congratulations of their friends; Every member of the class intends to go away to school probably all will go to Kansas University, at Lawrence. During the suraramer. months Prof.

Williams will conduct an in stitute in Iola, i Allen county, and teach in the Brown County Institute in August. Prof. F. M. Hammitt will study in the univeristy of Indiana.
