GAY COLLEGE LIFE
Old Grads Back at Police
Headquarters for April,
'16, Commencement.

The happy, earefree life Of classroom
and campus came to an end yesterday
for the sixty-fve seniors of the New
York Police Training School. At COM
mencement exercises, held in the af
ternoon in the college chapel. high up
in the stately headquarters building
exercises to which there was an in
defnable flavor Of that melancholy
ever associated with occasions marking

ing of beloved surroundings class
of April, IS, babe farewell TO student
days.
In addition TO the customary gather
ing of such old grads as Inspector
Schmittberger, Jack DAILY. Johnny
Dwyer. Dom Henry and Joe Conboy, an
unusual touch of color was lent by the
presence Of host Of mothers, sisters,
sweethearts, girl friends, young lady
acquaintance and in some cases even
the wives of members of the gradual
ing class. II was the first time in his
tory that the company at commence
ment had been other than strictly Of
fetal.
However. the Official note was not
lost. Arthur Woods. more familiarly
known as "Prexy," sat behind a flag
draped table. with few Of his deputies
and number of jurists.
The audience had gathered early, but
the exercises were not rushed on that

words from Dean Schofield guided them
through the most intricate of the
marching figures they had learned in
their scholastic career.
Then, when it seemed they were so
hopelessly entangled they could never
be sorted out, another command re-
solved them into double rank. I'm
mediately Professor Thomas W. Shaw,
who occupied the mat of jiujitsu in the
faculty. took the class in hand. With
a proficiency which astonished the old
grads, whose college memories go back
TO the days when old Charley Schu-
macher was the whole faculty and a
roundsmsn TO boot, the seniors pro-
ceeded TO demonstrate how easy it is
to master such intricate subjects as
the inside waist and strsngle hold, the
hammer lock, the wrist grip and arm
twist when the laboratory facilities are
adequate.
The exercises closed with parade
in full uniform and talk by "Prexy"
Woods, in the role of Police Commits
