The 18TH Annual Commencement o.
the Louisiana state Normal
School.

I
the Louisiana State Normal
School.
| On Sunday May 27th the Commence
ment exercises at the Normal began
with the baccalaureate sermon by Rev.
Jos. SpcariEg, IN the auditorium. There
were some magnificent sacred ChOrusts
given by several hundred voices that
rose and swelirI Tery melodiou>ly and
harmOnlously under the leadership of
the music teacher, Miss Knott. The de-
cOratIOns were more beautiful and taste
fui this year than ever before, though
the artistic taste displayed on former
occasions has ALWAYS elected admiring
comments.
The background Of the immense stage
was gracefully hung With cerise ana
light blue bunting, supported by huge
columns of cedars whose spicy fragrance
filled the mir. Immense ropes of the
same evergreen were lntert lined across
the front. and rare palms and other pot
plants with the banners of the 5. a. X.
and f. T.. 5. filled with beautiful flowers,
handsome busis and vases completed
the stage decor atiOns. The walls of the
whole auditorium were hung with pict-
ures, marble medaliOns and the poser
work of the students.
In spite of the terrible weather which
lasted throughout the whole week, i'm
menSe c OwGS assembled at every en-
tertainment and though hundreds could
only lind standing room, the order and
quiet that prevailed throughout each
and every exercise were remarkable.
After the exercises on Monday night
the reception to the parents of the stu
dents and friends of the Normal was
held IN the building and not under the
oaks as was originally intended, the
heavy rain prevented. A splendid sup
per consisting of ham and pickles. chick
en- salad. 1read and crackers. vanilla and
chocolate icecreamS with all kinds OF
fancy cakes was bountifullv served by
the prettiest OF the Normal girls in
dainty caps and aprons to hundreds OF
guests, and merrimrnt and fun held
SWAY until very late hour.
