morning.

Although this is the first year that
the school has had a department of
expression, the number of pupils TAX
ing has been large and most of the
pupils are from the higher grades.
The commencement sermon will be
preached Sunday morning, May 30th,
at the Temple theater by Rev. Gross.
All the churches of the city are re-
quested to suspend their morning
services and attend the exercises at
the theater. A large choir under the
leadership of Mr.. Albert Gerig is
preparing some splendid music for
the occasion.
On Monday morning after the
pupils have received their promotion
certificates and report cards and have
been dismissed for the term, the
teachers will be cat home" to patrons
and friends of the school, in their
rooms where will be displayed the
drawings, maps, arithmetic, spelling
and language papers and other handi-
work and written work of the year.
This is the first time that this part
of the school has observed a patrons
day. While the exhibit will be only
beginning and a prophecy of what
may be expected in the future, those
who come will find the display inter
esting and instructive. This will be
especially true of the exhibit of the
home economics department.
On Monday evening the regular
graduating exercises will take place.
The class this year consists of seven
girls and four boys. They will pre-
sent a varied and interesting pro-
gram interspersed with music both
vocal and instrumental.
