Then came Prof. d. G. Hulls
address to the girls. He showed
them that Home needed them more
the world, and as graduates and
audience both heartily agreed with
him, his earnest and beautiful
talk was just the right thing in the
right place.
OF course the graduates received
their diplomas. They always do.
But OF course they were thinking
more OF their flowers and who was
going to walk home with them
than they were of their dips right
