they both spoke over time. The two

Commencement will soon be here and
everybody is busy getting ready for ex-
aminations. The seniors are especially
busy just now and are beginning to
realize that while the senior year is the
best year of the course it is also the
hardest. They are hoping TO complete
the year in good shape, and the com
mencement work is coming on nicely.
The question of where to have the
class play this year has given US many
hours of worry. The city hall is used
for the picture show and is therefore
not available for practice. The ques-
tion of having a tent had to be given
up on account of the expense. The
question of making over the main room
of the high school had to be given up
on account of the great amount of work. !
But the matter has been solved at last.
We are so fortunate as to secure the I
German Hall, where we shall have seat
ing room for nearly four hundred, a
large stage with beautiful scenery, and
large dressing rooms.
