usual, and perhaps more than usual,
interest. The Baccalaureate Sermon
will be delivered at the Armory on
Sunday, May 25, by the Rev. Geo. s.
Notwick, pastor of the Norwegian
Lutheran church. A mixed chorus
drawn from the various church choirs
and well known local singers will

schools, will assist in the special
music.
On Monday evening, May 26, the,
High school Band will give q concert
at the High School auditorium under
the able direction Of Prof. "A. Onstad.
The band will be assisted by Mr.. H.
Alden Enyeart, tenor, of Grand Forks,
reputed to be one of the best tenors
Of the Northwest. The High School
band, which has made remarkable
progress under Prof. Onstad's direct
ion, is an institution in which Willis
ton should take great pride, and this
concert promises to be, at any rate,
not the least interesting of the events
of Glass Week, and will undoubtedly
be we'll attended. An admission fee
will be charged, the proceeds to be
used for the purchase of new music
or instruments for the band
On Tuesday night, Class Night, at

in the great war, from the first "Call'
to Arms" to the final grand event Of
the organization of the League Of
Nations. Each scene is to be preceded
by an appropriate musical number,
including Bergen's setting of "Flan-
ders Field" Peace Song, and the
Victory Song will perhaps be the
"Star Spangled Banner" Details are
withheld this week, but full announ-
cements are promised for next week,
and the fact that the pantomime is an
original conception, and that q great
deal of enthusiasm and hard work
are being put into its preparation
adds to the interest aroused by the
meager information obtainable. The
pantomime will undoubtedly prove one
of the very interesting events of the
week.
If present plans can be carried out
and arrangements completed, il is
hoped that an alumni banquet will be
given on Wednesday night, at which
time the organization of the alumni
association of the Williston High
school will be completed.
The regular commencement exer-
cises will take place on Thursday
evening, May 20, at the Armory. The
address will be delivered by Bishop ].

ssohn's "Nocturne" from "Midsun-
mer Nights Dream" will be render

mena Waltz Song" will be song by
the High school chorus. The High
school chorus will also sing "Morn-
ing Invitation" First honors this
year are carried off by Miss Edith
Serum, while Margaret Jeffrey Of
Grenora takes second.
Commencement Week is q true
Community Week, and aside from the
interest universally felt in the young
people who are taking their first step
from the days of care-free child
hood to the more serious days of
young womanhood and manhood, the
programs announced for the week
will enlist the attention of those who
enjoy really worthwhile things. It.
is hoped that the public will find it's:
enthusiasm equal to doing justice to
the full program of the whole week.
