Association was held in the town hal
n on June 1st. The hall was beautiful
ly decorated with cut flowers in rec
and white, the school colors, and pen

entertained us for some time on diff
fernt subjects. Solo, Miss Evelyn
Cook; reading, Miss Sharp; selection

Commencement exercises were held
on Friday evening, June End. The
hall was crowded, and as it seems to
be difficult for some people to keep
quiet in that condition, and as perfect
order is absolutely necessary at such
times, we think it would be a wise
movement to charge admission and
close the door as soon as the house
is comfortably filled. The following
is the class roll and themes: Clayton
Nelson Hesselburg, Preparedness" :"
Anna Elizabeth Stats, Making the
Most of Our Opportunities; Mary
