LECTURE COURSE. VVe believe in the Lecture Course as an adjunctto high school work Its aim is to instruct, inspire and entertain. It brings the best of talent to our little city and permits us to receive the inspiration and moral uplift, the idea of progress and modern thought, that 'every student and person needs to make their education more ccmplete. The Lyceum is peculiarly intended for the young people, as they progress into the fields of education and wisdom, because it holds before them ideals of attainments that are possible for those who are willing to put forth the effort. Its tone is one of culture and refinement. The artists, who appear in their various lines of entertain- ment, are artists, because they love perfection and have diligently striven to reachthat ideal state. It is this cherished state that is held before the student-perfection. , . Perfection only comes through diligence and perseverence. Culture rises from a love of perfectiong progress is the creature cf high idealsg great works spring from the ruins of greater projectsg above the life that is hang eternal models of a life that is possible, and the measure' of man's greatness is the quality of his aspirations. Therefore. we believe the Lecture Course worth while, for it aids in the uplift of young and old alike. The following is the list of talent that have appeared upon the High School Lecture Course in the two vears that we have had charge of it: l9ll and '12-The Kafhr Iloy Choir, Euclid Male Quartettteg Ned NVoodma.n, Cartoonistg Dr, A.

All the numbers, in the two years, have given satisfaction, many of them even excelling our brightest hopes. This vear we had the largest season ticket sale in the history of the Lyceum in Edgerton. Let the good work go on. It reflects honor on the school and the people, who support the Course. .
