Never in the history of the Hammond
high school has the program for COM
mencement week been so varied and
contained so much of interest, not only
to the students, but to the community

work that the students must take up
on themselves to make it a success
that have shouldered the responsibility
of giving play.

offer to the people of Hammond to-
morrow night will be of a high grade.

sails say the play viii be well worth
attending
