 . Deafening applause greeted Miss Angles presentation of the flag, and Dr. Blome accepted it in the name of the school. Mrs. J. D. Jackson, on be- , half of the mothers, also gave her note of appreciation for the thought
 fitness of the girls, and with the singing of America, the impressive ! service came to close.

 , Commencement Exercises. The weather should have short notice this week, for "December's as pleasant as May" This fact was bourne in upon us last Friday, for
 that was the commencement day all lotted to the Xmas Seniors. No sweet girl graduate of June could have found lovlier one on which to
 bid goodbye to her alma mater and enter upon life's duties. The exer- cises were held in the assembly room at the Normal and as the class came upon the stage, the picture was a
 most pleasing one for the dainty !, white gowns of the fair graduates , found striking background in the pine decked stage, amid which was , shown triumphant the Stars and , Stripes. A number by the Girls Glee ! Club opened the program, then follow ed an impressive prayer by Dr. Blome. A vocal solo by Miss Georgia Frost, accompanied on the violin by Miss |, Haywood, was sweetly rendered; this was followed by the Commencement Address given by Dr. O. S. Baum. The thoughts presented by him were sterling ones and will find lodgment in each graduates heart with the passing days of service.
 Dr. Blome spoke then a few words , of farewell to his class of 1917. Brief but impressive was the speech, and
 sincerity dominated it throughout. r After presentation of diplomas,
 each graduate received a certificate from the state which entities them to schools.
 The following received diplomas and certificates:
 Price Brinkerhoff, Anna Pickles,
 Hazel Noble, Grace Brewster, Gene , vieve Healy, Lucille Etter, Mary Kee- gan, Frances Ormond, Marie McDon- . nell, Georgia Frost, Jennie Whipple, Nellie Mongensen, Mrs. Mary Wei nert. A musical number concluded the program.
 Emerson School Entertains.
 Events crowded thick and fast upon
 us on Friday for we were so anxious to take them all in.
 The Emerson school children staged as pretty an entertainment as it has been our lot to see in many day. The assembly hall was crowded and when the curtains were drawn out upon the stage danced twelve flaming , fireflys who danced and fitted and whirled while the audience clapped in
 estacy. These graceful dancers were : Miss Hagerman's first grade Mexi-
 jeans. A lovely Xmas song by Mary
 Wilson, Johnnie Mae Yapp, Virginia
 Morehead and Margarite Switzer was
 beautifully sung, after which little
 Helen Harrington wrote sweet little
 letter to Santa before retiring and pinned it to the chimney place. Fol.
 lowing this, dear little second graders
 gave in pantomime and song, Luth.
 CTS Cradle Hymn.
 Mark Finley. recited "A Boys ] Dream;" Mary Ray sang most sweetly "Holy Night" and Alice Beeson, Ruth Sullivan and Westley Beard proved . themselves veritable movie stars 1T z presenting the "Sick Doll" i. The eighth graders closed the in 2 teresting program with Folk Dance . gracefully executed and while the ap : plause died away the jingle of sleigf . bells was heard on the air and soor ' appeared Santa in all his glory. Hi pack was well filled and distributed generously through the audience. Il <. I. I. 4
