The summer term OF the norman
school at Mayville, will begin on the
9th day of June and will continue for
six weeks, thus closing on Wednes'
day, the day before the August exam
inations for teachers certificate. This
term is especially planned for those
young people who are looking forward
toward preparing for the examinations
for certificates and for those who are
already teaching but desire to pre-
pare for certificate of higher grade.
Glasses will be formed in all certifi-
cate subjects wherein there is demand.
The school has superior facilities for
this work and the only thought dur
ing the term will be the interests of
the students and the schools which
they hope to serve
Mayville is an exceedingly attract
i've place in summer The school equip.
ment gives the student the best kind
of school home, the churches furnish
an opportunity to attend public wor-
ship, the city is city of trees and
with it's beautiful park presents most
pleasing appearance and attractive
places for picnicing. While there is
enough of amusement to give pleas
ure, there is not SO much as will lead
the student into wasting his time in
fun. There is perhaps no better sum-
mer school point in the Northwest
than is Mayville.
Remember the date of beginning,
June 9th, 1912.
Miss Brant was called to New York

attention of all at the home of Mr..

Miss Nelson spent a part of last
week at her home in Fargo and her

mencement in Mayville.
Friends of Mr.. R. G. Patterson are
pleased to receive the news of his ap-
preaching marriage with Miss Flora c.
Studley at the brides home in
Springfield, Mass, on June %, 1912.
The 1912 commencement week op-
ened with the baccalaureate address
on Sunday evening when DR.. Beard
of the First Congregational church of
Fargo addressed the class on "The
School of Books and the School of
Life" in scholarly manner.
The second event of the week was
the Senior Chapel Exercises held on
Monday morning. The devotional ex-
ercises together with the presentation
of the class gift and its acceptance by
the president of the school, the selec-
tons of music and the dedication of
the class tree, constituted the fea-
lures of this program.
On Monday evening the spring term
party, dancing party, was given in
the assembly ROOM About 100 were
present and the room was prettily
decorated with school pennants and
ferns. Many graduates were in at
tendance upon this function.
The senior class night exercises of
Tuesday evening were a credit to the
class and the school, The several fea-
lures of class history, will prophecy
and poem were good productions and
we'll rendered and revealed the fact
that much work had been done upon
them. The second part of the pro-
gram consisted of a clever little farce
which was we'll staged. Several sem
iors who took the parts in this did it
easily and in a manner very pleasing
to the audience. A third feature OF
the program was the music, consist
ing of a piano duet by the Misses Of
tedal and Lemon, number by the
Senior Glee Club, and the class song.
The class history, class prophecy
and class will made many excellent
thrusts which were thoroughly en-
joyed by those knowing the special
traits of the individuals which were
the occasion of the pleasantly.
The last day of the Commencement
Week was splendid and at $3.50 about
$50 sat to banquet in the spacious
dining room in Palmer hall. The al
1umni association engaged the board
ing department to furnish the dinner
and members of the junior class were
honor mattresses. Perhaps sixty al
lumni were present, mostly from the
more recent graduating classes, but a
few who are frequently with us and
are ever counted among the very
