Tri County Clippings- Page One Hundred Thirty |
In 1909 my Grandmother Berneice Reed MacDougall made a Christmas present for her mother Sophia Emmeline (Emma) Webster Reed. It was a booklet with fancy edges cut from card stock containing envelopes, and found with a red ribbon. In each envelope were newspaper clipping of interest to the family, mostly centered on activities in Chemung Co., NY.
ELEVEN GRADUATES - COMMENCEMENT AT HORSEHEADS HIGH SCHOOL
Exercises were of Unusual Merit. Pritchard Hall Was Crowded With
Friends of Graduates
The 18th annual commencement of the Horseheads High School was held last
evening at Pritchard Hall and was in every sense a most delightful occasion.
The small hall was so crowded that people stood in every part of it and probably
as many were turned away as were able to gain admittance. The hall had
been very beautifully decorated in green and white, which are the class colors.
Evergreen twigs woven into vines were very prettily festooned over the entire
ceiling and the figures 1902 were worked on the east wall in evergreen.
Green and white bunting also formed a large part of the hall decoration.
The stage was banked with palms, ferns and daisies. On a white back ground
occupying a conspicuous part of the stage the class motto: "“hy Destiny
Lies Within Thee"” was worked in green. The east side of the stage was
occupied by the members of the board of education: R. P. Bush, president;
Rev. M. H. Gardner, P. T. Marshall, W. H. Phillips and Mrs. Helen Rickey, and
also Rev. F. H. Gates and Rev. W. H. Yard. Accompanied by the sweet
strains from McHenry’s orchestra the graduates marched in from the rear of the
stage and were seated on the east side.
The first number, following the invocation by Rev. M. H. Gardner, was the
saluatory by Miss Bernice Reed. Miss Reed’s subject was “Night Brings Out
the Stars”, and she treated it as to its application to human affairs. Her
enunciation and delivery were good and she was very enthustically applauded at
the conclusion. William W. Myers delivered the valedictory, his subject
being “The Invasion of the Old World by the New”. He treated this subject
very capably, showing the reaction which is now taking place between the old
world nations and the nations of the west.
The remainder of the excellent program was as follows:
Progress of Music .....Ida Weller
Violin Solo—Andante Religioso....Joseph Samuels
Wireless Telegraphy .....Loretta B. Snyder
Originality .......Nellie E. Lovell
Ancient and Modern Games ......Robert B. Smith
Vocal Solo—A Long Ago ......Oley Speaks

Facts and Fiction....Ermina C. Thorne
Vocal Solo—The Nightengale’s Song...Nevin
William P. Frost.
Presentation of Diplomas.......
Benediction......Rev. F. H. Gates
Music.....McHenry’s Orchestra
The following are the members of the class of 1902: William W. Myers, Bernice Reed, Loretta Snyder, Nellie E. Lovell, Eva L. Rowley, Marie E. Hill, Ermina C. Thorne, Ida Weller, Robert B. Smith, Mary L. Hill and Berton R. Sherman. All the students acquited themselves in a manner to do credit to their school. Misses Lulu Weller, Ruby Snyder, Mabel Hill and Maude Coe acted as flower girls, and Emily Clark as page. The ushers were Archie Mathews, Wilson Day, Henry Bush, Benjamin Colegrove and Walter Myers.
