NIGHT. eACCALAUREATE SER.
MON SUNDAY AT HIGH SCHOOL

The commencement exercises of the
Ardmore public schools will begin to-
morrow evening at the high school
auditorium, when the two classes of
the Lowenstein Brothers will give
their annual musical recital. This, no
doubt, will be a great treat to all
who have any appreciation of music
whatever, and everyone is cordially
invited to be present on this occasion.
Thursday evening the class in com
mercial law will present a Mock Trial
under the direction of Professor
Grassle, teacher of commercial sub.
iects in the high cshool. This, no
doubt, will be one of the most inter
esting programs that will be presented
On Friday evening, will be held the
inter-high school debate between the
Ardmore high school and the Shawnee
high school. The subject for this de
bate is, Resolved, That the United
States Should Own and Operate All
Railroads Within Its Territory" Ard
more will have the affirmative side
of this question. Ardmore won this
debate last year, and the Lion Store
Cup, and it is necessary for Ardmore
to defend this cup this year. 1t is eX
pected that she will do this success
fully, and all of Ardmore should take
pride in the team that is to main
tain the standard of the high school on
this occasion.
Sunday, May "a, at II o'clock, Doc
tor Dubose of Atlanta, Georgia, will
preach the Baccalaureate sermon. Doc
tor Dubose is one of the greatest
preachers in the nation. His name has
been mentioned prominently in con-
nection with the College of Bishops,
and it is highly probable that if any
new bishops are elected at this time,
Doctor Dubose will be elevated. There
will be special music on this occasion
and all are cordially invited to attend
this service.
On Tuesday evening, May 26, the
Juniors will give a banquet to the
faculty and senior class, at the Randol
Hotel. This is the social affair of the
season, and is an annual affair and
the Juniors of this year promise to
excel anything that has ever been
done in this line before.
Wednesday evening, May 27, the
primary grades of the city will pre-
sent their annual program.
This program is given by pupils
from the first four grades from the
four wards of the city. There will
be more pupils taking part in this
program than any other program that
is presented, and it is always enter
tanning and pleasing because it is
presented by the little folks.
On Thursday evening, May 2S, the
annual musical contest will be held.
This contest is held between all the
different musical organizations of the
schools-the ward glee clubs, the
quartette, the seXtette, and the high
school orchestra. These different or
ganizations contest for a cup and
it is one of the most interesting pro
grams that is presented by the schools
annually
On Friday evening, May 49, the
graduating exercises will be held in
the high school auditorium. There are
twenty-five seniors of the high school
who will receive diplomas on this oc-
casion also, the pupils who complete
the work of the first eight grades,
will receive their eighth grade GER
tifcates which will admit them to the
high school in September. The ad
dress on this occasion will be given
by the Hon. Mark SeXon of McAles-
ter. Mr.. Sexon is one of the bright
est and highest Masons in the state
of Oklahoma. He is secretary of the
Indian Consistory, No. 2, at McAles-
ter. 1t is planned to reserve special
seats for the large number of Scottish
Rite Masons who will want to attend
this exercise and hear Mr.. Sexon.
These exercises form very fitting
climax to the most successful years
work in the history of our public
schools.
