Commencement.

The Thirty-fifth Annual Commencement of Vevay High School was held at Metropolitan Hall last Friday evening, when a class of two young men and twelve young women received their diplomas and bid a final adieu to their school days.

While all the arrangements for the occasion had been made in concurrence with time honored customs, still every detail was marked with the progressiveness of the age, and the result was that public opinion pronounced this Commencement one of the most thoroughly enjoyable and successful ever held in Vevay.

Green and white—the class colors formed a pleasing contrast in the stage decorations, setting off to a splendid advantage the gilt letters composing the class motto: “Be What You Seem To Be.”

The audience was unusually large, many of those present coming from a distance. Prof. E. M. Danglande, Superintendent of the Schools, made a few well chosen remarks, and then in succession introduced the graduates. The orations, while necessarily brief, impressed the hearers with the thought, time and care that that had been used in their preparation, and the uniform case and oratorical power displayed by every member of the class was the subject of much favorable comment. Good music by a harpist and violinist was a pleasing feature of the exercises. Each minister of the city was accorded a place on the program, Rev. Tedford invoking the Divine Blessing, Rev. Christensen conferring the diplomas and Rev. Tedford pronouncing the Benediction. The following acted as ushers: Misses Clara Kiesel, Mary Orem, Nella Stucy, and Leila Thiebaud; Messrs. Craig Baird, Earl Brown, Charles Grammer and Clyde Culbertson.

The class of 1901 and their orations were as follows:

  • Mary Lanham, “Ever Onward.”
  • Perle Brindley, “Buds of Promise.”
  • Beryl Anderson, “Our Rubbicons.”
  • Laura Edna Hollcraft, “What Will They Say?”
  • Alice L. Orem, “Old, Yet ‘Tis New.”
  • Jennie M. Dupraz, “Voices That Speak To Us.”
  • Bessie Gretchen Reed, “Choose Your Timbers with Greatest Care.”
  • Alvan Burton Dodd, “Our Country.”
  • Belle Thiebaud Dufour, “Shakespeare’s Brutus.”
  • Pearl E. Haskell, “Wait a Minute.”
  • Grace N. Brindley, “A Plea For Simplicity.”
  • Elizabeth A. Houze, “The Sense of Nonsense.”
  • Anna Belle Sutherland, “Castles in Spain.”
  • Aime Todd, “Our State.”

The high school instructors are Prof. Ernest Danglade, Superintendent; Julia L. Knox, Principal; Grace Stepleton and Hannah Waldenmaier, Assistants.

Vevay Old Time Music Contest – 1900

Old Time Music Contest.

The Old Time Music Contest given at the Opera House last Friday evening, under the auspices of Vevay Lodge of Woodmen, and directed by Harry Walters, was a success in every sense that the word implies. As soon as the doors of the house were open the crowd commenced to pour in and the audience was soon one of the largest ever gathered in the hall. Neighbors of the Woodmen in uniform acted as ushers and handled the big crowd successfully. There was a large number of old time musicians entered for the contests and after the audiences had selected I. P. Loring, O. S. Johnson and D. G. Manning, Judges, the fun started. Arkansas Traveler, Fisher’s Hornpipe and other old time tunes, were played in all kinds of keys, in all kinds of time, in all kinds of ways, by all kinds of fiddlers, and the fun waxed fast and furious. Then there was no chance for monotony for between the fiddling contests were interspersed contests on other musical instruments and in dancing, cake walking, etc. Also two very creditable dramatic sketches. As a whole it was one of the most unique entertainments that has been seen in Vevay for many years and the audience showed no hesitation in expressing their approval. The Woodmen netted a neat sum for the lodge treasury. The following are the prizes, which were generously donated by the Vevay business men, and, with a few exceptions, the names of the winners.

Vevay High School Graduation – 1899

Vevay High School [Switzerland County, Indiana] graduation report appeared in:
Vevay Reveille – 18 May 1899 – Page 4, Column 4

The Class of ’99.

The Commencement Exercises of the Vevay High School at the Opera last Friday evening was pronounced by those who attended, to have been one of the most successful ones held for several years. The class, consisting of seven girls and nine boys, was an unusually intelligent one as the careful thought shown in the preparation of their orations evinced, and the easy confident manner with which each and every graduate delivered their orations showed a skill in oratory above the average.

The stage was tastily decorated with a huge American flag as a background and a profusion of potted plants, draperies, etc., and the class motto, “Virtute et Labore,” prominently displayed in the foreground. Excellent music was furnished by Prof. Genter’s orchestra and the audience was large and attentive.

It is a self evident fact that the instructors, Professors A. L. Trafelet and Ernest M. Danglade and Misses Julia LeClerc Knox and Hannah Waldenmaier have every reason to be proud of the class of 1899.

The members of the class and the subjects are as follows:

  • Carrie Brown, Salutatory—“Our Nation’s Emblem.”
  • Ernest Griffith, “Success.”
  • Grace Schroeder, “Gather the rosebuds while you may.”
  • Howard Cole, “Character.”
  • Zella E. Jain, “Embarking.”
  • Harry B. Shaw, “Electricity.”
  • Ivan Dean Saberton, “Indifferentism.”
  • Jennie Wren Anderson, “Unfinished Still.”
  • Walter P. Baird, “The American Newspaper.”
  • Grace Elizabeth Shaw, “Why?”
  • Alfred Edward Cole, “Common Sense in Government.”
  • Florence May Coleman, “Voices.”
  • Charles Saberton, “On Time.”
  • Edna May Kincaid, “What shall we reap?”
  • George W. Scott, “Close of the nineteenth century.”
  • Charles Allen Barnett, Valedictory—“Indiana in War.”

Vevay High School Commencement.

The thirty-second commencement exercises of the Vevay High School were held Friday night, April 29, at Metropolitan Hall, which was filled with relatives and friends to witness the last lesson of the four young ladies and two young gentlemen, who bid adieu that night to the school duties of Vevay High School.

The stage was tastefully decorated in the class colors, red and white, and blooming plants. The class motto, “Truth Shall Conquer,” in red letters on a white ground was arranged in the center of the background.

The class was one of the smallest that has graduated from this school, but one of the brightest, the orations showing originality and much preparation. Where all did so well it would not do to discriminate in favor of any particular one.

The music was furnished by the Vevay Orchestra. The ushers were Misses Carrie Brown, Edna Kincaid, Grace Shaw, Zella Jain and Messrs. Walter Baird, George Scott, Howard Cole and Earnest Griffith. The invocation was by Rev. J. Murray Taylor.

The following are the graduates and their subjects:

If we Knew, Miss Edith May Golay; We Build the Ladder We Climb, Miss Luella Brindley; Our Country—Its Possibilities, Mr. Harry B. Dupraz; Face the Foe, Miss Olive Marie Dufour; Problem of Invention, Mr. William Henry Spivey; In gathering Roses lookout for the Thorns, Miss Emma Frances Kemp.

Rev. W. E. Morris skillfully conferred the diplomas.

Superintendent Amie Trafelet and Prof. E. P. Danglade, Principal, have every reason to be proud of the class of 1898.

Rev. R. A. Kemp dismissed the audience.
