Americas Opportunity"
An interesting and highly commend
able fact to be noted in connection
with the close of the high school Is
that the girls of the graduating class
have unanimously agreed that they
would practice economy in the matter
OF graduation dresses. They have
planned their dresses so that the en- |
tire cost will not exceed five dollars.
1t is the purpose of the school and |
teachers that simplicity and dignity |
should be characteristic of the exer-
eises in connection with the close of |
the school. For this reason, in order |
to avoid possible disappointment, no |
flowers will be presented to any of the !
graduates during the commencement /
program. II friends of the members OF
the class should carry flowers to the /
building, they will be taken care of
by the ushers and given to the one |
for whom they were intended, after the
close of the program.
