third. The judges of the contest were

The auditorium was filled tt
capacity and extra chairs were crowd
ed in and standing room was at 9
premium. It wa estimated that be-
tween three and four hundred people
we're turned away.
The program was opened by the
march of the graduates to their re.
served seats. The beautiful march
was played by Mrs. NJ. C. Shipley
organist at the First Presbyterian
Church. Invocation was pronounced
by George J. C. Wilhelm.
Finis E. Engleman, superinten lent
of the schools, read the announce
ments for commencement week.

usually sweet, NJ. Jercy Johnson is

ers from the several different

of young man, a student in the
Northwest University of Chicago. He
saved the lives of seventeen people |
from drowning, falling unconscious
after bringing out of the water the
last one, and when he regained con-
sciousness, his first thoughts were,
