Miss Dunlap of the expression de-
partment deserves much credit be-
cause of the pleasing manner in
which the parts were interpreted.
After the rendition of the class
song, the guests were invited to re-
turn to the library where a transfer
nation had taken place. Small Ia
bles were placed about the rooms
and the junior banquet was spread.
This was no small part of the even
ing's entertainment. The last course
was toasts with class President Mel
lum acting as toast master. The sew
eral speakers were flttingly introduce
ed and jolly hour soon passed.
The juniors may we'll look upon
this as a most successful beginning
of the end Of this school year, and
If the succeeding events are as this
there is no doubt but that the 1911
commencement season will be a good
one in every way.
Mr.. Tharaldson was unfortunate In
falling during some trapeze work and
broke two bones in his right hand.
He will now get out Of spring house
cleaning.
The University Glee club pleased
its large audience very much when it
rendered concert in the assembly
room as the last number of the nor
NAL lecture course. The men sing
we'll and their program is a happy
combination Of song and fun. The
university is very fortunate in secur-
ing so able leader for this depart
ment as Mr.. Norton and the club Is
assured Of a good reception should
they return for another concert.
At the close Of the concert given
by the University Glee club the nor
NAL school rendered the members an
informal reception in the library and
a pleasant hour was spent in meeting
them.
VIM. Torgerson, son Of s. Torger-
son. formerly member of the nor
NAL school board Of management Is
q member Of the University Glee
club and was with the club in it's
concert here. He was seen greeting
many old friends for he spent his
boyhocd days in Mayville.
Another evidence OF the efficiency
of this normal school! The appoint
ment Of N. c. Mcdonald to the newly
created position of state inspector of
rural and graded elementary schools
Is gratifying to this school because
of the fact that Mr.. Mcdonald is
numbered among its graduates and
no doubt the school can claim some
good part in the efficiency of his ca
reer. This appointment will put the
influence of the small school at May
vile at work In every school in the
state, and the additional fact that
Mrs. Mcdonald, another member of
the alumni, is teacher in the Valley
City normal school adds yet more to
the sum total Of the Mayville nor
mails effective work for advancement
in North Dakota education. When a
school is SO located that It cannot
become a big school and stick to it's
work 1T may either branch out and
become an omnibus with something
for all or 1t may choose to remain
small yet to be school of deep pur-
pose which does it's work so we'll that
those interested will look to it's
graduates for active men and women
to carry on the education Of the state.
The school is justly proud that Mr..
Mcdonald is the type of man for the
position and 1t feels confident that
Superintendent Taylor has made a
wise selection. The cause of ele-
mentary education in North Dakota
will be advanced through Mr.. McDon-
AIDS efforts.
