KEMPER HALLS CLOSING
The Commencement Exercises are of a
High Order.

Inc SOuMcuC64ueuk EXERCISES are OF q
High Order.
Although the early part of the morn
ing was very dark and glowering, the
weather man cleared off the heavens
enough and in time to make Kemper
Hall commencement all that it usually
is. Commandments at Kemper Hall
are always of the highest order and
today the same standard was kept up.
Armitage hall, in which the first part
of the program took place, was beauti-
fully decorated with marguerites in al
most every conceivable place. The
green curtain which extended across
the whole south end of the hall was
covered all over with punches of daisies,
| the two pianos were also decorated and
on the grand piano was a portrait of
Prof. Heyer with beautiful bunch of
white roses, these being the only other
decorations. The graduates and school
girls entered by the west door to the
tune Of Tannhauser march.
The opening number was By Miss
Buckley. It was Orpheus With His
Lutte, 7 and showed splendidly her skill
and mastery of her art. But at the
rendition of the song Damon" the
audience responded vociferously, show
ing her its full appreciation of the ex-
quisite style in which it was sung.
Miss Bacon, who delivered the salu-
tatory il French, spoke excellently.
The duet which followed by Misses
Spalding and Grant was thoroughly en-
ioyed and it was evident that both
young ladies thoroughly understood
Rubenstein's music.
Miss Buckley followed and it is en-
tirely needless to say that the audience
was greatly delighted. Her enunciation
is very clear and this was nowhere
more evident than in her French song,
ST "DETAILS Jardiniere.
The valedictory by Miss Adelaide
Crapsey was very we'll delivered, and if
space permitted we should give a good
description of it. 1t must suffice now
to say that it was one of the best vale
dictorian essays ever heard at Kemper
Hall
The address by the Rt. Rev. Thomas
f. GailOr, d. D., of Memphis, Tenn,
was fine and the audience was sorry
when the end had come. He spoke of
education being that which was neces-
sary to make our personality and that
that was the one great thing in life to
aim at, and when we obtained our per-
sonaliUy we found ourselves, and when
we had ourselves we realized what lib
erty meant.
After his address the class song, the
words of which were composed by Miss
Adams and the music by Prof. Heyer,
was sung.
This finished the exercises in the
hall and the school and visitors pro-.
ceeded to the chapel where the testi-
monials and prizes were awarded.
The St. Mary's cross was awarded to
Miss Louise Mathews Cary.
The TIE Deum in B fat by Lloyd was
sung by the choir and then the school,
followed by the alumnae, the clergy and
the class, marched to where the class
stone was laid, then all returning to
the chapel, the graduates felt they
were all full fedged alumna0. A very
dainty luncheon was served in the
dining room, to which all guests were
invited.
The following is the complete list of
the graduates: Edith Jane Bacon,
Margaret Bloodgood Agnes Lenox
Carpenter, Louise Mathews Cary,
