Dakota Conservatory
Commencement Affairs
Very Much Enjoyed

The commencement season in Da-
kota Conservatory of Music circles
closed last evening with two very de-
lightful social gatherings. The first
one was the annual commencement
dinner, given by Prof. e. A. Boehmer
head of the conservatory, and at
which covers were laid for about fifty.
The repast was served at $50 o'clock,
at the Annex hotel. and the guests
were seated at four tables, being ar
ranged by classes, as the number in
cluded not only the members of the
1916 graduating class, but all the other
alumni who could be present, and the
faculty members. The first class to
graduate from the conservatory was
that of 1912, at whose table the '13
members were also seated. The other
three tables represented the classes of
IA, '15 and '16, and beautiful bouquets
of red peonies on each table held cards
indicating the class numerals, in gilt
figures. The place cards were espe-
cialiy attractive. being in the form Of
tiny blue birds. perched on the rims
of the. tumblers. Held in their bills
were tiny diplomas bearing the names
of the guests. Red roses formed lovely
favors for all the guests.
A pleasant surprise was given Pro-
fessor Boehmer and Miss AIDA Blakes-
lee, the latter being head of the vocal
department, at the close or the dinner.
The graduates of this spring presented
Professor Boehmer with handsome
brass electric lighted inkstand, and
Miss Blakeslee with a beautiful Law

made by Miss eBlle Menus. president
o fthe class, and both recipients mace
appreciative responses.
Many of the alumni present were
from out of town, and at the close of
the dinner, short business meeting OF
the Alumni association was held The
meeting was called by the president,
Miss Maude Knight. and the principas
feature of business was the election of
officers, resulting as follows: President,
Miss Mildred Allen; secretary, Miss
Ruth eKnnedy; and treasurer. Miss
Mabel overs. Counting the new alumni,
the association, formed only two years
ago, now numbers fifty-one members,
and great enthusiasm for the assocfa-
ton and the conservatory to which it
is so loyal, was shown last evening.
The second and last social gathering
of the evening and season was the
atre party at the Garrick, at which the
Alumni association entertained the
new members, the faculty and a few
other friends, following the business
meeting. The affair was a box party,
and the supper following was served
at Prizes. The decorations there were
all In green and white, the conserva-
tory colors, and at each plate burned a

Chicago-A general giving up Of the
long side OF wheat was noticeable yes
terday with the price at the lowest
level Of the year. The situation Is not
regarded as having changed any de-
spite the decline. Those who have been
bearish for several weeks stuck to that
side and say the markets action shows
the futility OF buying and trying to
advance prices because they have had
a good decline and look low because
the crop is being short. Later in the
season traders look for a change for
the better. Corn, receivers said over
