 Year Takes Place This Evening When Class of Ten Receive Diplomas

The military event of the Phoenix Indian school commencement week, the classic event of the school year, was held on the school campus last eve ming and was witnessed by many hun dreds of interested people.
 The drill, which took place from 80 until S:45 o'clock, was the finest exhi bition that has been given at the school in years, according to Col. James H. McClintock, who was the senior judge of the competitive events. An inspection of the boys and girls bat talions was followed by a regimental review which was excellent, and the companies then were given five min utes each before the judges to compete for the banner.
 It was a picturesque setting when the, hundreds of students in their blue and white marched in review across the campus, performing military func- tions with a precision that bespoke long hours of drill and diligent train ing, More than half dozen tribes, famous in the early history of the southwest, were. represented in the ranks.
 Competition Is Close
 The judges of the competitive drill l Tor and Lieut.. Fred J. Wright, the lat ter two from the 18th infantry. The banner was awarded to Company c of the girls battalion, with Company ] D second and Company F third. Tn the boys battalion the banner was awarded to Company c, with Company A second, and Company third. ! The competition was close in the girls battalion, so close that the com 1 bined figures of the judges had but seven points between the first com pany and the sixth, with the first com pany having but 267. The figures were almost as close in the boys battalion. --- Exhibit Open Today
