Opera Hall was crowded to the
doors Tuesday evening TO witness
the Normal senior class-day exer-
cises. The members of the Junior
class, who occupied the front seats
in the hall amused the audience be-
fore the rising of the curtain with
class songs and yells, while they
were answered by alumni who sat
in the rear by improvised yells.
Upon the rising of the curtain the
So members of the senior class were
revealed, sitting in semicircle,
and singing class Song. At the
conclusion of the song witty and
entertaining history of the class
was given by Loretta Murphy. The
ceremony Of the presentation of the
Pipe of Peace, that was to terminate
all strife between the senior and ji-
ior classes, was grs cefully perform
ed in speech by John Dahl, Presi-
dent of the senior class, responded
to by Henry Aasterud on behalf of
the juniors. Three members of the
class, Myrta Ely, Laura Rosenquist
and Relia O'Connell, dressed in
long, black robes and black hoods,
read the class prophecy from the
turbid contents of the witches camp
kettle. Teresa Armpruster gave the
distinctive characteristics and pc
culiaritieS of the individual MEM
bers of the notwithstanding
features, as the size of feet, hands,
ears, nose and mouth, color of hair
and eyes, height and weight, ma
tionality, religious and political
predictions, etc., and Janey Blet-
soc and Mamie McAndrews enlarg
ed upon the same theme. This was
followed by song which involved
all the classes in it's description.
Next appeared the class as an
oriental band, the members dressed
in long, white robes, playing Hot
Time" with such homogeneous in
struments as fish horns, mouth or
gans, accordeons, etc., emphasized
by base drum. Annie Ferguson,
assisted by Katie Ryan and Marion
White, distributed the class gifts.
These were appropriate, suggestive
of characteristic traits of the recipi-
ent or relating to some incident in
student life. The class poem, read
by Lucille Haddow, was in line with
the general trend of the sentiment
of the evening. Ada TAFT read the
last Will and Testament of the class,
disposing of the class property, af-
ter which the pleasing and amusing
entertainment closed with a repeti-
ton of the inspiriting class yells.

A pleasing incident in connection
with the Normal graduating exer-

occurred Monday afternoon. The
members of the class in the Ninth
Grade who were to give the Trial
Scene from the Merchant of Venice
at the exercises in the evening re-
paired in the afternoon to the home
of Homer Campbell, who has long
been an invalid, and recited their
parts for his entertainment. This
gave him much pleasure and made
the afternoon bright one to him.
