Lawrenceburg High School Commencement – 1883

Commencement of the Lawrenceburg Public Schools in Dearborn County, Indiana for 1883 appeared in:
Lawrenceburg Register – 28 Jun 1883 – Page 3, Column 2

THE PUBLIC SCHOOL COMMENCEMENT.

The Tenth Annual Commencement of the Public Schools of this city was held in the Court House on Friday night, June 22d, 1883. It was, as it always is, an occasion of general interest to our people, and the Court House was well filled with an intelligent and appreciative audience.

The salutatory was by Miss Ada F. Fitch, and was a most excellent production, well delivered.

“When the Tide Turns,” by Miss Carrie D. Schleicher, was clearly and distinctly uttered, and was a good essay.

Miss Anna Sembach took “The Journey of a Day,” and showed its dubious paths and pointed out its stumbling blocks that might be avoided by others. It was an excellent essay, full of wholesome facts.

“The Web of Life” was woven by Miss Lillie Rooke in a commendable manner and the subject was well treated in a common sense way.

Miss Flora M. Walter dwelt amid the “Starry Heavens.” Her theme was elevating, and sparkled with the gems of thought that have been strewn along her pathway. It was a well written composition, and pleasing in its manner.

“Ascending the Hill” was the subject of Miss Lillie Fichter’s essay. This was a plain, practical production, containing many truths of value to all. It was well read, and gave evidence of much originality in the author.

“At the End of the Threshing Machine” was the only boy in the class, Edward Y. Chapin. Young Chapin acquitted himself admirably, and had an excellent essay-address, the valedictory, full of sharp points and good sense well presented.

Lawrenceburg Fair Awards – 1880

Awards from the Lawrenceburg, Dearborn County, Indiana Fair for 1880 appeared in:
Lawrenceburg Register – 21 Oct 1880 – Page 4, Column 3

THE FAIR.

The inaugural meeting of the Lawrenceburgh Agricultural Association and our new racing course was in every particular successful. Unfortunately the weather operated against the Fair, but in spite of this fact the meeting ended a success. To the officers, Col. Bannister, President; Henry Fitch, Secretary; and the Board of Directory, every praise is due. The accommodations of the track and the arrangements thereof are excelled by none, and with a little more age will be the superior of any track in this part of the State.

The display and attractions outside of the speed list were fully up to the standard of any county fair. The Floral and Mechanic Halls were crowded to overflowing with fancy and staple articles competing for premiums. Several of our merchants made creditable displays of their goods. The arrangement of the two halls was in good taste, and every appointment was complete.

The Directors will go in for a Fair next year with renewed efforts, and it will be a boomer. These fairs will be of great value to the business men of this city, and should be looked on with favor by them. We regret that we cannot give the full award of premiums this week.

Below is the result in the speed rings:
