Commencement Exercises.

Our Norman CLOSED last week
with appropriate exei cises and has
sent forth to do battle with the
world nine Seniors and twenty
Elementaries and we feel that each
diploma granted to the deserving
individual will he brick in the
foundation of our national exist
ence.
The exercises Of the model grades
on Wednesday morning opened
the programs for the week. The
assembly room was crowded and
sea Of smiling happy faces greeted
the little ones as they participated
in the exercises. They made
most pleasing picture with their
bright happy faces, dainty white
gowns and futtering ribbons.
Following this program came
that Of the ninth grade, better
known as the grammer grade.
The motto chosen by the class
was Earnestly and Diligently"
The exercises were carried out IN
All easy and pleasing manner.
Those taking part were: Mabel
Chinook, Roscoe Hill, Sadie
Kelly, Geo. Foley, Marvin Morse,
Ernest Currier, Blaine Deal, Otto
Bleisner, Archie Shepard, Maude
Dan els and Ray Ensign.
From two till four in the after
noon the exc, clses of the EIemen-
tary class We're held. The Chapel
was decorated in light blue, the
class color, and with a protnsion
of ported plants, ferns and cut
flowers, while against the white
back ground Of the platform wall
was hung the dark green class
motto, "True to our ideals -" The
program opened with the Cavalry
Song by the chorus and Miss
Lees began the speaking with a
brief but very interesting Saluta-
tory.
Next came Mr.. Francis S.
Sloniker with an addre SIS on the
"Northeast Boundary of the
United States. This was rem
dered in clear and concise man
ner, making it pleasure to the
listener to follow him through. the
various causes and effects pre-
scented.
Miss Annie D. Axtell spoke on
"Cross fertilization Of Flowers, :"
topic that the botany class has
been laboring over the last few
weeks.
The ladies semi-chorus then
sang "The Ferry" in which the
voices of the young ladies blended
in perfect harmony.
Following this came an interest
ing discussion on Educational
Gymnastics by Miss Christine
Chidester. Miss Emma Shaver
gave some good reasons why
Literature was added to the
Elementary course. A quartet
composed of the graduates-Misses
Chichester and Lees and Messrs.
Clark and Otis, then sang "The
Spring time is Come.
"The Sentence Method of Teach
ing Reading was brought before
the audience by Mr.. John ii.
Andrews. He dwelt principally
on the principles underlying this
method, and was followed by Miss
Anna Bandit, who illustrated,
with her practice class, this method
in very skillful manner.
Drawing was the theme that
was taken up by Miss Mabel
Wood in her easy and graceful
manner. An interesting Glass
History by Frank D. Otis followed
this. The chorus then sang

"Press Onward" Miss Anna
Swanson gave IN a novel way the
Glass Prophecy, and if We are to
Judge by the sounds of suppressed
mirth, we would say that it was
an amusing one. The appreciation
Of "Our Motto" as given by Miss
Ida A. Barry was shown by the
individual atten tion given by the
audience. Miss Barry showed
not only a complete mastery of
her subject, but an appreciation
Of it's worth.
President Parker, after a few
brief remarks, presented the di-
plomas, and the Glass Farewell,
written by Miss Sena Eastman
and sung by the class, closed the
exercises.
Wednesday evening an informal
reception was held in the gym
nasium and a time OF good fellow
ship and sociabillty was enjoyed.
Thursday morning from ten to
twelve the program for the Senior
class was carried out. The Chapel
was decorated with the class colors,
nile green and white, and the
motto, "Mehr LIGHT" (more light)
was hung above and to the back
of the platform. The topics were,
with two exceptions, confined to
past studies or with the profession
of teaching. The addresses were,
however, separate and refreshing.
The music, under the direc-
ton Of Mrs. Thatcher, reflected
due credit not only upon the
school but upon the instructor as
we'll.
The following is the program:

The Senior class is one of, if
not the largest class, ever turned
out from our midst and IS un-
doubtedly one Of the best. The
individual efforts Of those com
prising the class were above the
average. Without a single excep-
ton the young men Of The class
have gone through the school on
their own resources, a thing we
can honor them for. The majority
Of the class will, after year or so,
continue their studies at the uni
vcrsity. A great many flowers
aud almost endless congratulations
fell to the lot of the deserving
Seniors.
The regular yearly reunion of
the alumni was held OH Thursday

given by Pres. Parker, Prof. Brier,

pleasant one, as quite a number OF

A Royal Barn,

One of the most elaborate newspaper
hoaxes ever printed appeared in Parie,
and the peculiar thing about it was the
large share Of credence with which it
was received not only by the Parisians
themselves, but by the people OF France
generally. The story in brief says the
London Mail, was that the Queen OF
England had been dead for eighteen
years, but that her death had been kept
q profound secret and was known only
to few persons in the British Empire.
The story related with circumstantial
detail that Queen Victoria passed away
quite suddenly IN the fall Of 1878, but
that for state reasons it was deemed
best to keep her demise profound &C.
cret. Accordingly. woman in humble
circumstances. OF about the came age a.
the queen. to whom she lore a striking
resemblance, was discovered and in
stalled in the place Of the dead sovereign
whose body was secretly buried in
Q varlt beneath one OF the TOY al resi-
dences.
The woman who was to impersonate
the dead queen was carefully coached in
the part she was to play, and in order to
lessen the risk Of detection it was
publicly given out that the sovereign
would pass the winter abroad, az she
had determined to live in retirement
for number of months. In the Sc
clueion Of little foreign town the i'm
personator Of royalty was most assidu.
ously trained in her part, and, being q
woman of wonderful cleverness and
discretion, she has been able to continue
the deception to this day.
The story was naturally not long

regarded the matter as one of the best
