Graduating Exercises

School days are over. The final
act in the closing days of commence
ment week was carried out at Turner
Opera house Wednesday evening when
the senior class received diplomas
and participated in a well arranged
program. The graduating class this
year totals 38, eleven in the mdoern
classical course, seven in the CONNER
cial course, seventeen in the general
science course and three in the Eng
lish course. The attendance at the
commencement exercises taxed the
capacity of the opera house and there
was not a dull moment from start
to finish as an extremely interesting
program had been arranged. The
class cOlOrs, black and gold, were
used in the decorations, together with
the class pennants and the class
flower, the poppy. The program was
interspersed with musical numbers,
Wheeler's orchestra assisting in the
selections. A solo by Mrs. G.. r. Field
was especially fine and she graceful
ly responded to an encore in the Ger
man. She was accompanied on the
girls high school glee club sang the
"Revel of the Leaves" in a most
charming manner.
To the class of 1910 belongs the
honor of a new departure in the COM
mencement exercises. The girl grad
IN, hn nj of fhni i,,i
tiative resolved to set an example
in the matter of plain dress, for
which they are to be commended In
place of the elaborate gowns usually
worn on such occasions, the gradu-
ates were dressed in plain white
duck skirts and shirt waists, the only
adornment being a tasty black tie.
The attire was not only becoming
but carried with it little expense.
