With each year commencement week
in the Lewiston state Normal school
grows in importance socially and edu-
cationally. Each year shows marked
growth in the departments of the
school and marked interest in the
citizens.
This year, but for the heavy rains,
which were most welcome for every
other reason, the entire commence
ment week would have surpassed
every other in the interest 1t attracted.
More than any other has it Impress
ed the public with the wholesome air
of the school and that atmosphere of
dignity and real culture that pervades
educational institutions of high stand
ing.
The reception held by President and
Mrs. Black In the auditorium Of the
Normal school building on last Mon
day evening was one Of the social
events of the season and a decidedly
popular one Of commencement week.
Nothing was left undone by those in
charge that would add to the enjoy
ment of the throng of visitors who
manifestly were interested friends of
the State Normal school and the prin-
ciples for which 1t stands. The guests
were given formal welcome by Presi-
dent and Mrs. Black and DR.. and Mrs,
c.. w. Shaff and presented to the grad
uating class, who completed the re-
ceiving line, which was stationed in
the center of the auditorium that had
been arranged most attractively and
artistically decorated with palms, pot
ted plants and roses.
The entire building was lighted and
thrown open to the guests, who en-
joyed the privilege of visiting the de-
partments of the training school where
much of the work done through the
year was on exhibition.
An entertaining program, in which
the students were assisted by Miss
Henry and Miss Eggeman was greatly
enjoyed.
Lunch was served throughout the
evening and refreshments were served
by the young ladies of the school in
the banquet room below.

hours of O'Clock and Z, Miss Urct
received the friends of the young Ia
dies of the graduating class and the

Miss Urch's invitation and enjoyed
her hospitality. Miss Urch was as.
sisted in the dining room by the little
girls from the lower grades of the
training school.

well poised young women, it's wealth
of. roses, the music and that air o.
