GRADUATES ARE
 UP IN THE AIR
Pupils of the Pine Blufi High School Protest Against Morning Com. mencement Program-Petition is Sent to School Board.

Because of the heavy expense that will be incurred in renting the Elk:s Theater this year for the graduating exercises of the Pine Bluff High School graduates, it was recently an nounced that the commencement ex- ercises would take place at II o'clock on the morning of May 2S, at the au- ditorium in the new High School building. This announcement occa- stoned much disappointment among the dozen or more young ladies who will be members of the graduating class this year. They had all made their evening dresses for the occasion, and naturally felt disappointed when the old custom of holding the grad
 uating exercises at night was not fol- lowed. The young ladies and many of the male members of the class ap- pealed to the faculty, but owing 70 the fact that there are no lights in the High School building it would be impossible to hold the exercises there at night. It would require an ex- pend.ture of $250 to install lights in the building and as no provision has been made for electric equipments by the school board the pupils are at loss to know what to do. A pe tition calling on the school board to come to their aid, was circulated and signed by the class of members yes terday. They request the board to have the commencement exercises either at the Elks Theater or the High School auditorium and that they be held at night. It is most likely that the board will refuse the re- quest. owing to the heavy and un- necessary expense that would result in night ceremonies. The graduates say that they have made preparations for an evening program and that the class would be greatly inconvenience ed if the graduating exercises would be held in the morning.
