COMMENCEMENT EVENTS
 COMING AT BIG NORMAL

Nothing is more welcome, nothing keeps him so busy, and nothing is more enjoyable to Senior than Com mencement Week-Commencement with all its joys, its banquets and it's settlements.
 This was first realized when Mr and Mrs. Tom Pollock gave their an- nual banquet to the Seniors on Thurs day evening. It was enjoyed by them all.
 Friday morning the Shakespearean bust will be unveiled, which was pur- chased from the proceeds of the Se- nior play, given on February % and March 1st.
 The next reception is the Junior Senior banquet or Saturday night. Each year the Juniors give the Se- niors g. splendid banquet. This year it is to be held in the dining hali and a magnificent time is being arranged for.
 Baccalaureate comes o1 Sunday evening, and examinations on Monday and Tuesday.
 Class night comes on Wednesday evening and the following program is arranged for:
 Salutary .........C Cecil Windes Class History .... Mary Coulson Class Knocker. .... .Orick Robertson Class Giftorian. ..... Boyd Morrow Last Will and Testament. Mary Han
 ley.
 Class Prophecy. Ruth Loudermilk
 Jean Dupuis Class Song. ........B By the Class
 The program will be held in the assembly room and every one is invit- ed to attend.
 Immediately after the performance Dr. and Mrs. Blome will hold their annual banquet in the dining hall and their entertainments are always look ed to with anticipation.
 It has been customary to have a "pole rush" between the Juniors and Seniors, but the Juniors have agreed to fly their flag below the banner of the Seniors and in turn the Seniors are going to treat them to a break fast in the woods. All who have ever enjoyed romp in the wods, can ap- preciate somewhat the enjoyment in store for both the Juniors and Sem iors.
 Thursday is Commencement Day and one of the main speakers will be Dr. Won Kleinschmidt of the Univer- sity of Arizona, who will address the students from the rostrum.
 Last but not least the Alumni will give the Seniors reception on Thurs day night This will end the short. glorious Commencement Week and and forty-three Seniors will then de- part to their homes, ready to enter into the struggle of life which the Northern Arizona Normal School has prepared them for.
