Caps and gown for the sweet girl
graduates of the Sioux City high school
this year! Altho this is not as yet the
dictum of the city board of education,
there is some probability that some ac-
ton will be taken relative to simpli-
flying the dresses OF the girl graduates
this spring and obviating the expense
| usually attendant upon this occasion.
For several years there has been agita-
ton for simplicity in connection with
the commencement exercises Of the
, high school, particularly with regard to
the excuses INDUCED in by fond par
ents in providing their daughters with
expensive graduating gowns. Because
, of the number OF children OF poorer
parents who are not able to Indulge
thus lavishly and who suffer more or
less humiliation thereby, 1t has been
urged that either uniform style Of
dress be worn or that caps and gowns
| which are comparatively inexpensive,
be adopted.
