SUGGESTS CAPS AND
GOWNS FOR GRADS

Principal A. J. Burton of the Rock
Island high school has asked the mem
hers of the senior class if they would
not prefer to wear caps and gowns
during commencement week, and it
depends upon vote of the senior
class as to whether the new custom
will be inaugurated in 1912 in the local
school. MI Burton suggested that
caps and gowns of gray material would
be very appropriate for the affairs OF
the last week of the pupils. Many of
the girls and most of the boys have
signified that they would rather not
inaugurate the custom. Sensitiveness
seems to be in the way.
