fated with plants and flowers. On the
wall at one side of the stage IN purple let
ters above an anchor was the class motto,
we launch tonight, where shall we an
ehorW The class colors, purple and
"nlte, we're conspicuous everywhere.
The class formed in the library and, led
oy the ushers, marched through the hall
soa up to the stage. Miss Hazel Z. Bixby
presided at the piano. The young ladies
we're all dressed in white and looked very
pretty. The graduates wore for flowers
purple and white sweet peas.

written and showed that much time and
thought had been spent in their develop
nent. With the exception Of the first
number, the program which follows was
carried out in full. 1t was disappoint-
meht, not only to the class, but the audi
