The Juniors had their program this morning. Mrs. Terrill gave a talk to the Seniors and Florence S. cried. The quartet sang and F. could hardly sing. We all went to Grandma H's for dinner except Papa. There were lots of kids in H.S. that got entirely exempted. The Freshman decoration committee, Marshall, Max, Kenneth, Lloyd, Olive, Josie, Gertrude, Irene & I had to decorate the assembly room this afternoon for class day program to-night. We started about 12:30 and finished about 4:30. Miss McC's mother was at school this afternoon. I like her real well. I saw Papa down town with the carriage and so I rode up to Grandma's with him and then we all went home. The whole family went to Class day program to-night. The graduates were: Florence, Harold D, Ogilvia, Wilbur R, Bea H, Elda K, Lula H, Charlie B, Naomi F, Lyle M & Clyde B. Harold D had valedictory. Florence had class prophecy which was very good. Norma J gave Junior response and also gave each one of the Seniors a present. To Florence she gave a sweet bunch of dock. She goes with Claiton Schenck and they call him Dock. To Harold she gave some court plaster, either to keep him from talking so much or from kissing Inez. To Charlie she gave an old coat that once belonged to Bryon. He is following Broyon's example of keeping on trying to graduate. To Naomi F she gave a bunch of hair curlers. To Ogilvia she gave a large hat box and said "I" bestow upon you Mr Ogilvia Hull, Zella M's affections. To Wilbur, who is very interested in electricity, she gave a book entitled: "Where will the birds sit when we have wireless telegraph poles?" To Bea, she gave a little Japanese parasol for she said, "a teacher's life is full of storms." To Elda, she gave a large paper key and said, "Here is the key to Charlie's heart." To Lula H she gave a large piece of green pasteboard and said "A screen to shade you from the glare of Wyatt Wilkin's auburn hair." Lyle M was given a set of twelve books. The class motto is "Climb, tho the rocks be rugged." To Clyde B she gave an old, thin, broken  cane to climb with. Mss McC sang and so did Bess & the girls' quartet. The orchestra played too.
