Wednesday afternoon the college
band entertained the many visitors to
rare treat in the line of a band con-
cert. The concert was greatly appre-
ciated by all and Prof. Mann is GER
tainly to be complimented on the
splendid band he has this year. A
great deal Of credit is due also to the
young men as their efforts show that
they have worked.
On Wednesday evening the Senior
class day exercises occurred in the
Grand Opera House and as on the
previous evening the house was
packed. The program was of the
usual high standard.
The presidents address given by
Frank kennard was splendid, and the
Grafton given by Ellery Chilcott was
of high quality. The charge to the
Juniors given by Wyle Barrett was
very amusing and witty and gave the
Juniors some crisp roasts. The
! charge to the Faculty by Oliver Grace
was a very laughable affair and caused
some of the "Profs" to reflect. The
prophecy by Miss Edna Evans, what
and where the different members of
the class would be fifteen years hence,
was very good. a vocal solo by Miss
Brownell and an instrumental selec-
tion by Mr.. Koch was greatly appre-
ciated by the audience. The class
song was good. The program was
rendered as follows:
