Give Flags to Boys.
During the war, there has been a
flag in the chapel for every soldier,
sailor and marine, and on the night of
alumni day these flags will be given to
the boys to keep. Washburn has not
forgotten her valiant sons at st.
Mihiel, the Argonne, Chateau Thierry,
on the sea and in the air. Her rec
ord has been an excellent one and the
students want to top it all off by erect
ing something permanent, so that fu-
ture generations at the school will al
ways know that Washburn went over
the top in 1917, 1918 and 1919.
The commencement week at Wash
burn will start on Sunday, June 8, with
the baccalaureate sermon by President
p. P. Womer at the chapel. Vesper

At s p. m. the following day, the
Washburn high school commencement
exercises will be held, followed at 8
o'clock by the dramatic club play, las
You Like It," on the college campus.
The members of the club have been
working hard all spring to make this
delightful comedy such a success that
Bill Shakespeare will unconsciously
smile in the solitude of his dark tomb
beneath England's sod. And it will
be smile of pride, If corpses of great
masters have any pride on such occa-
sions.

spare time is taken up with preparing
for the stiff 'quizzes'' that are in
vogue this week. The midnight oil, or
rather, the midnight reading lamp. is
quite the thing, and the girls are stay

ing, because they are in the same boat.
This last week of school is a hard one,
and it means a great deal in the final
grading. .s
