ments, these were exceptionally fine.
The woodwork display showed most
excellent work by the boys and re-
flected credit on their instructor,
Prof. Loren A. Nelson. There were
desks, tables. sideboard, and many
other pieces of fine furniture. Those
who took work in this department,
Were well repaid for their time and
labor.
Miss Ericson's department displayed
exhibits of fancywork. dressmaking,
etc. that far excelled anything ever
done in the school before, and a dis
play OF pastry and plain cooking, that
made ones mouth water to look at,
showed something of what the young
ladies have learned in the divine
art of cooking.
We forgot to mention the promo
tions during the mornings program.
Prof. Moench presented diplomas to
fourteen preparatory graduates, max
ing some very appropriate and en-
couraging remarks. Sixty-one stud
ents passed successful examinations
and received promotion. AS the school
is but three years old there were no
high school graduates.
Thursday evening the students
rendered a program consisting of
instrumental music. All parts were
well carried out and the program was
a credit to the student body. Friday
afternoon was devoted to athletic
sports and a Grand Closing Ball In
the evening, which was most enjoy
able and well attended.
The domestic science department
served a sumptuous banquet to the
board of education and the faculty.
1t was a crowning success to this
department and to the school. Prof

and many entertaining and instructive
things were said. Also fine vocal
and instrumental pieces were rem
dered, and thus have closed the la
bors of a very successful year
