Commencement Exercises

astic audience. Every seat in the
ball was taken and many were
compelled to stand. The program
as given in last weeks Sun WAS
carried out and everyone who took
a part in the evenings entertain
ment acquitted themselves with
much credit. The address of Prof
Stoner, of the Department of
Home Economics, of the Univer-
sity of Wyoming, was listened to

was new and many people would

ing restless, causing some noise
in the hall, and Miss Stoner closed
her talk in consequence. If the
parents who have daughters they
wish to educate would take a trip
to Laramie and go thru Miss
Stoner's department., they would
make almost any sacrifice to put
their daughters under her charge.
The girls not only have the most
comfortable rooms and pleasant
surroundings, but they are taught
everything that a good housewife
should know, from making bread,
cooking meat, setting a table, to
darning a tear in n valuable dress.
Nothing that will make them good
home-makers is neglected and
when a girl leaves Miss Stoner's
charge she will certainly carry
away a lot of information which,
if acted on will make her life a
great dea! easier than that of one
who has never had the training
that she was fortunate enough to
gain thru this department in the
University.

ling" followed and gave evidence
that she had spent much time and
study III the preparation of her
subject and she did exceedingly
we'll. Miss Anna Doggett's 'Class
Prophesy," a numerous paper,
purporting to be the result of her
visit to members of the class Is
years after graduation, provoked a
great deal of mirth and showed
that she has literary talent. Miss
