COMMENCEMENT DAY. o

The commencement exercises of
1895 will go into the history of the
Normal, as the most largely attended,
and withal, perhaps the best in the
history of the school.
The exercises proper began Sunday
June 2S, at 3 p. m, when the Bacca-
laureate sermon was delivered to the
graduating class. The class is the
largest in all the history of Normal
schools in Pennsylvania, numbering
one hundred and forty six members.
The sermon was preached by Rev.
Howard Wilbur Ennis of the Western
Presbyterian church of Washington
ID. c.
1t was in many respects the most
helpful sermon our students have had
for many years, Finding his text in
end Timothy 2:r5, " Study to show
thyself approved unto God, a work.
man that necdcth not to be ashamed"
He chose to take Tor his theme: The
DynaD,icS Of youth. The Reverend
gentleman by his courteous manner,
and frark openhealtedneSs won the
confidence and esteem of all, the
sermon because Of its plain, practical,
pointed truths, will be remembered
long.
MONDAY EVENING.
Monday evening was Junior night,
and right royalty did these Seniors Of
90, entertain the fully fifteen hundred
people who had assembled in the great
Auditorium to hear and enjoy their
exercises. Well, they heard and they
did enjoy. The audience heard be-
cause they were interested, and who
could help being interested when every
one did so we'll and they enjoyed the
evenings performances because there
was something to enjoy.
Every character in the farces was as
we'll taken as it seems possible for
amateur TO do.
The music on this occasion as
furnished, by the Normal School or
chestra, under the splendid leadership
of Miss Rosa Haas, ably assisted by
Miss Ella Stump, was most charming.
Every number was rendered as though
that was the best of them all.
