Institute, June 1O.-With the pre-
sentation of diplomas and certifi-
Gates, by Prof. J. Frank Marsh to
the fifty members of he class Of
1911, the closing curtain was rung
down upon the 10th annual COM
mencement Of the W. V. G. |.
1t was fitting that the class of
fifty-the largest In the schools his
tory-should 'epresent the noblest
effort Of the most successful year
of the school.
OF the above number twenty two
were Normal graduates, twenty-five
Academic, and three graduates Of
the Commercial Course. Many of
the members Of the Normal and Ac-
ademic courses received certificates
in the trades taught in the Insttu-
ton.
The annual events preceding the
elimination of commencement week,
increased in interest from the first
to the last.
Beginning with the afternoon Of
June 7, when the annual musicale
of Mrs. G.. E. Mitchell was held, the
presentation Of each successive pro-
gram was received with increased
interest
The selection Of each number of
the musicale program from the sim
pie study to the most difficult COM
positions, showed a proper adoption
Of ASST ignment to the individual, and
it's rendition evoked praise.
Th vocal numbers were woven
with lifting tunes, with which the
trained voices pleased their audi
ences.
