THEATER
NOTABLE PROGRAM MARKS

HIGHER CLASSES

night in the Exchange theater and
the consolidation of the two big
events of the school veal resulted
in a more varied program than US

beers.
The commencement exercises this
year were held in the Exchange
theater, instead of the Hippodrome,

prettier and better-suited stage,
which was decorated with the ma
tional colors and the green and
white of the senior class. Speech
es were cut to a minimum and the
substitution of a number of excel
lent musical numbers in place of the
usual oratory was an innovation in
commencements here and n tina.
