BACCALAUREATE SERMON The Baccalaureate Sermon was preached at the Opera House on Sunday evening, May 21st, by Dean William Carson Shaw. The graduates attended in a body, attired in their gray caps and gowns. The sermon was especially good, and the Seniors are grateful to Dean Shaw for the helpful thoughts he gave us in his talk. He especially urged us to cervice for others when we go out into the world after leaving our High School, and told us that selfish aims stain and defile the image of Ood which is in us. COMMENCEMENT EXERCISES The Annual Commencement Exercises of the Alliance High School, for the spring of 1916, were held in the Phelan Opera House, on Friday evening, May 26th. President R. B. Crone of Hasting College addressed the graduating class and their friends, in a talk which was much enjoyed by all present. This event completes the High School career of these twenty-four young people, and at the same time brings them to the threshold of the unknown, the future which now seems bright before them. The best wishes of the Spud, the Faculty, and the Student Body, goes with them in their progress, and may their greatest hopes and desires for success become realities.

Miss Wilson It was remarked once last year that Juniors like to advertise themselves. They do. The first year they advertised themselves in the wrong way (or so the faculty thought), last year they reformed, and this year they received the full approbation of all and have shown every one by their effort and ability in declamatory and debates that the best stuff in High School is in the Junior class. Their grades also indicate this, for a good percent will come in for scholarship honors next year. The industry and patriotism of the class was shown in the work done in obtaining the $5.20 from the Athletic Board for selling the most tickets to the Alumni basket hall game. Where can a man buy a cap for his knee Or a key for a lock of his hair? Can his eyes be called an academy Because there are pupils there? In the crown of his head what gems are set ? Who travels the bridge of his nose? Can lie use when shingling the roof of his mouth. The nails on the ends of his toes? What does he raise from the slip of his tongue? Who plays the drums of his ears? Who can tell the cut and style Of the coaf his stomach wears? Can the crook of his elbow be sent to jail. And if so, what did it do? How does he sharpen his shoulder blades? I'll be hanged if I know, do you? Mr. Crawford; “Dewey, what is a converging pencil? Dewey; “Why, that’s when a beam of light spreads to a point. Norman, in Animal Husbandry: “Say, Perry, what would be a good balanced ration for a mule?” Perry: “Why, I don’t know, but you might ask Hamillon what he eats.” Hugh, in Physics; “What time is it?” Mr. Crawford: “Two minutes till four o’clock, but I’m some fast.” Thelma: “Who would have thot that of Mr. Crawford?” Dewey, in Physics: “Sav, Mr. Crawford, if 32 is the freezing point, what is the squeezing point?” Hugh: “Oh, I know, it’s two in the shade.” Two men were discussing a certain man’s nationality when Pat came along and they asked him, “Pat, if a man was born of American parents in France would he be a Frenchman ?” Pat answered: “Sure, and if a cat had kittens in the oven would they lie biscuits?”
