N. NJ. 4. TO GRADUATE
At SENIORS IN MAY

Governor Frederick D. Gardner has
been asked to deliver the commence
ment address for the Missouri Mill
tary Academy on Thursday, May 90
and has accepted the invitation provi-
ded something does not come up be-
fore that date to prevent him.
Forty-seven seniors will receive
their diplomas from this institution
at that time. Commencement week
will be filled with many student activ-
tiles such as ball games, field meet,
class play and annual dance.
On Wednesday afternoon, May %
there will be a conference basket ball
game between NJ. NJ. A. and Chilli
cothe Business College. A competi-
tive drill will be held sometime during
the morning. Wednesday evening the
Seniors will give their annual outdoor
play.
A new feature to the M. NJ. A. COM
mencement this year will be a field
meet among the school students. Cap
tain Blaine McKusick, physical dir
ector, has instituted this new and in
teresting feature which will prove a
great drawing card. The time for
the meet has not been definitely set
but probably will be Wednesday morn
ing.
The graduating exercises will be |
held at one of the Mexico churches on |
Thursday morning. In the afternoon
there will be battalion review and an
other base ball game with Chillicotha. |
Thursday evening the annual senior
dance will be pulled off at the Aca-
denny. This promises to be the big
social event of the year at this school
and elaborate preparations are al
ready being made for the occasion.
