The first number on the calendar was
the reception to the graduating class

This event occurred on Wednesday
evening. June 10. and was a very hap
py. informal affair and was especially
enjoyed by the class
Next Sunday, at the Congregational

this kind

will he presented at the training school
building Thursday evening, June 3, be-
ginning at o'clock, and will be a COM
binatiOn of class day and commence
