girlish satisfaction will be crowded in
three evenings, June II, Is, and l9, than is
usually spent in as many months. Nearly
$50 students of Washington high schools
win graduate in this time. The efforts of
seniors for the past year have been
turned toward making the annual com
mencement exercises a success.

graduates of the Business High School, at
the New National Theatre, on the even
ing of June L. Commissioner Macfar-
land will preside on this occasion, as well
