COLLEGE
PREPARES
SENIORS

Before seniors OF the Hammond Mu-
sical college can obtain diplomas they
will be requested to give a recital from
memory before schoolmates and invit-
ed guests. All arrangements are to be
made by the pupils without advice from
authorities.
This is considered rather a stiff test
in musical circles, but Clark Leaning,
dean of the school, believes that all of
the senior class are able to get through
without any trouble. The recital will
take the place of commencement exer-
cises unless other plans are made later.
The college is recovering from one
recital and getting ready for another,
said Prof. Leaning yesterday. I'VE

Clark Leaning will read a paper be-

partment?

ing discussed at the central station

week when the blue will demonstrate
their shooting prowess at the new gall
lery on the city property, north of the
river on Holman street.
Captains Rimbach and Hanlon are
laying claim to be the crack shots of
the department, and accordingly win
seek to capture and retain the title for
the balance of the season. While the
two captains are in the belief that
they make the other squad look like
two cents Chief Austgen throws his
hat into the ring and has something to
say.
.swhy, I'll make you two fellows
look like runs before I get through
with you. I can close my eyes and
hit that bullseye without any effort
and believe me, / will be wearing that
medal a good share of the time.
Next week the Hammond department
will hold their first practice shoot
