MILLINERY STUDENTS
CLOSE THEIR WORK
Free Evening School Held Com
mencement Exercises
Last Night.

The two spring Glasses in millinery
in the free evening vocauonai schooi
had their closing session last nisht u,
the High School This was not an
anti-climax to the formal closing Oh
the evening vocational classes held on
the night of the 18th of this month
IT was indeed quite contrary. Oh the
bb Wilmington women who had enrolled
i'm these classes in January, Al were
present last night. over S5 per cent
Of those completing the course were
present all the time. The reason these
millinery classes were continued five
nights beyond the closing Of the regu-
lar evening school. was because this
work was not begun until February l.
Every woman received instruction In
how to make a hat and how to remodel
one, and many OF the women when tho
last night came had four and Ave hats
beautifully made or remodeled as the
evidence of their skill and accomplish
ment Further evidence of the sue
cess OF the work and the appreciation
these women had OF the opportunity
given them by the Board OF Public bdu-
cation under whose auspices the even
ing classes were operated. the follow
ing petition was given to the director
signed by the 81 women present:
