IN the address Of Lieut. Wilkinson, a
\ graduate of the class of 1903. In a
most interesting way, he told of the
trip across, the landing in France and
the fighting at scissors, Chateau
Thierry, and St. Mihiel. His graphic
recital Of experiences while lighting
In the trenches was thoroughly en-
joyed by everyone. The final was
rousing patriotic number by the high
school chorus. - a..s. Z .
Unusual State Examination Returns.
The results of the examinations
] taken by the normal training class
have just been received from the OF.
Ace of the state superintendent OF
Public Instruction, supt. Humphrey
declares that they are the finest lot
OF examination grades received by
any of our normal training classes to
date. -.-r.......g s... u a.,
It is interesting to note that the
state grades in most cases run few
points above the semester averages
4 given by the local instructors This
indicates that the Denison teachers
are both grading carefully and also DO
ing very efficient work. The returns
would indicate that spelling and writ
ing need the most attention as the
lowest grades were received in these
two subjects. ynrr4 -
Those receiving the highest grades
were:
Gladys Buckley, Civics ........ 100
