brought to a close. The graduates

livered by r. S. Douglass, who wildly
presented the seriousness of the step
taken by the graduates now entering
the world for the pursuance of their
profession. He pointed out that it
would be their duty at this time to aid
in unfolding civilization, which could
be done only with high grade of edu-
cation.

| diplomas to the graduates, gave q
short talk urging the students to con-
tinue their education, even after leav-
ing the school.

ing of the "Pilgrims' Chorus" taken
from Wagner's Tannhauser, rendered
by the chorus. Gift Thine Eyes"
from Mendelssohn's Elijah, was then
sung by Misses Flint, Mathews and
Campbell. Lloyd Bowman, assisted by
the chorus. sang the "Clang of the
Forge" "Flower of Rain" sung by
Miss Flint, and Good Night, Be-
loved" by the chorus, completed the
musical numbers of the program. At
the conclusion of the exercises "Thc
Star Spanglcd Banner" was sung by
