It is just exactly as important to fin
ish ones school course in January as it
is to do so in June, and just as much
honor attaches to the event.
Therefore, the twenty-five graduates
from the high school and the graduates
from the grade schools at Inc end of
this month will have just as impressive
exercises and there will be just as much
preparation for the commencement
event as if it took place in the month
of roses.
Perhaps the bouquets offered the fair
graduates will not be so large or SO
many, but on the other hand it may be
that the proud seniors will receive more
of other and more lasting gifts SO that
the flowers will not be missed.

is the first mid-winter commencement.
