A JUNE DAY IN JANUARY
North

(Photos)
The mid-winter
graduation exercises of the January class of the North Denver
High School last night went off with great éclat and to
the satisfaction of the students and the many friends who crowed
the auditorium.
The girls
formed the regular commencement day picture in their pretty white
gowns and big bunches of roses and carnations. The program was
an invocation from the usual cut and dried entertainments on
such occasions. The graduates sat on the platform and enjoyed
themselves instead of waiting in fear and trembling for their
turn to come. The class president Miss Mamie Mullin, was the
only one who had to make an address, which she did in good style.
Then President James Baker of the State University gave an interesting
address on what had been accomplished in the arts and sciences
in the century just closed, followed up with a few words to the
class on what was expected of the young people in the coming
century.
The picture
left by the class as a memorial to the school was presented in
a graceful speech by John Cory and accepted by Miss Marguerite
Flagg. Dr. Smedley, president of the school board, then presented
the diplomas as Dr. Curtman was not able to be present. The music
was furnished by Miss Rose Marie Johnson, a piano solo, quartet,
Misses Winifred Rucher, Merle Jones and Roy Porter, Miss Jessie
Stocker playing the violin obbligato in the last song "The
Night Has a Thousand Eyes,". The closing song was by Miss
Grace Welch.
Principal
E. I. Brown expressed himself as very much pleased with the success
of this first mid-winter graduated class and the smoothness with
which it has been accomplished without any friction in the general
work of the school.
