had been, the two having been closely
identified in studies together. In
scholarship he also stood high. being a
bright and diiigent student and was full
Of anticipation OF the time when he, too,
should go forth into life's work, prepar-
ed to make his mark and bring JOY to
the heart of a widowed mother. But,
alas! 1.-THE house of Joy has been turned
into mourning" and instead OF vending
their way to visit Commencement
honors, his sorrowing relatives-mother,
two brothers and a sister will now follow
his remains to their last long rest.
A deeper gloom than has befallen
the Normal school-on faculty and stu
dents-cannot we'll be imagined. Such
sadness had taken possession OF the
feelings Of the whole community that
the B~accalaureate sermon Sunday morn
ing was dispensed with and the meeting
Of sorrow turned into a meeting Of
prayer. All commencement exercises
will be dropped, except the regular grad
uating occasion Wednesday, when the
exercises will be turned into a memorial
service to the dead, after which will oc-
cur simply the presentation of the d.
plomas to the living members Of the
class. These exercises will begin
promptly at 1870 a. M. Wednesday
morning and not later, as announced
Sunday.
The remains OF Miss Pye will be left
at the Grand View until tomorrow
when they will be brought to the city
and taken to Bryant the funeral taking
place there about 5 o'clock tomorrow
afternoon. No funeral services will be
observed here. D.. d. Holdridge, Esq,
acting coroner, will pass upon the body
as a matter of formal1ty that a doctors
certificate as to the cause Of death may
accompany the remains. Two Of the
faculty and a representative of the class
will accompany the remains to Bryant.
OF the faculty Prof. Golf and Miss Pryne
will in all probability be the representa-
tives. Particulars regarding the funeral
services of the remains of the late VIM
E. Hammer cannot be given as the body
has not yet been recovered.
TRIBUTE OF THE GRADUATING CLASS.
MADISON, s. D., June 12.-We desire
to express our grief at the loss OF oul
dear classmates. They were our leaders
president and vice-president of oul
!, class. Their lives for the past year have
! been closely knit with ours. We have
q been in constant association with them
Now they are suddenly called from us
!, That beginning which we we're now t.
. have made together, they will make il
! their higher life. AS their strong youni
! lives helped US while they were her
with US, so shall the memory Of then
. help us as we begin our lives without
a their companionship.
To ali their friends, whose s~ufferin
r must be even greater than ours, We 81
4 tend our heartfelt sympathy. VIZ ca
y only turn with them for help to u loy
q ing Father. In sorrow,
The GRADUATING Glass.
