4 Very Successful Entertainment Given
by the Senior Class = Details Of the
Fun Making.

by the Senior Class = Details OF the
Fun Making.
The first class day to be held here
for number of years delighted a
fair audience in Commencement
Hall Monday afternoon. The tse-
date seniors for couple of hours
forgot their dignity and made sport
of everything human and divine
about their college careers. The au-
dience was in a continual roar.
Many of the hits were SO well placed
and the objects so cleverly taken
down that every one clearly saw the
point and the consequent amuse-
ment was very great.
The exercises have taken the place
OF the tiresome essays and orations
of Commencement Day and in their
place there will be an address by some
man selected by the faculty on ac-
count of his eminence and learning.
The class day affords formal leave
taking to the class and leaves but few
of the sadnesses which are so closely
associated with farewells.
The class fled into the hall at two
o'clock, and when they had gotten
on the stage, they presented a fine
appearance. The exercises were
presided over by Bert Laughed,
who is the president of the class.
He introduced each of the speakers
to the audience,
During the course of the presen-
tation of the gifts to the class by
Mr.. Roger, number of boquets sent
In by the Juniors, were brought on
the platform and afforded much
amusement to the audience.
A piano solo by Miss Flora Hayes
was the first number AS usual,
Miss Hayes gave delightful render
of her theme, and the applause was
quite spirited.
The history of the class was then
read by Mr., Goodwin and many were
the witty hits that he made. Each
victim was passed in review twice and
the whole paper was an excellent one
free from every whit of dizziness.
The poem, which was decidedly a
clever piece of work was given by Mr..
Nelson. In this he too made some
very fine hits and the poem was full
of real artistic merit.
The grafton to the class was the
finest thing On the program and was
full of eloquence, fun and instruction.
The orator, Mr.. Post, never lost sight
of the fact that he was there to help
as well as chide, and he fulfilled his
mission we'll.
A duo for two pianos was then rem
dered by Misses Howe and Hayes.
Miss Eleanor B. Moreland read the
will of the class, which legal docu-
ment was different from all others in
that it had not single dry line in it.
The requests were all so fitting and
the subjects which she handled drawn
off so skillfully that the audience
frequently interrupted the effort by
applause. The hits on the faculty
were especially well gotten off.
Roy Roger did very well in his pre-
sentation of gifts which often held up
the pet weaknesses of the victims to
the amusement OF the populace.
In the prophecy Friend Clark made
a decided hit. Ho looked into the
future and told what was to come to
each member of the class in the COM
ing years.
The class song was then sung under
the direction of Prof. Ellenberger,
who played his difficult part to per-
lection and was one of the happiest
things of the whole performance.
The class of ninety eight certainly
has nothing to regret on account of
the success which has attended its
efforts to give a splendid class day
and all who were present were loud
in their praises of the manner in
which it was conducted.
