filed with interest in the schools.
Grade promotions wern given chill
dren and to this was extended that
interest that is sufficient TO inspire
the small fol to forge ahead next
year and do even better. TO that
great high school body, to each
member that was given their diplo-
mas ard certificates on Thursday
evening, thereby fitting them for
future careers in colleges and uni
versities. was given Just the praise
they deserved. There could have
been no more impressive sight than
this ,eniOr class of 1922. Those who
have addressed them these last days
OF school and especially ol closing
night, admonlshcd them as to their
future conduct that it might be in

added much to make them Just

their way as men and women; each

other months in the cycle OF the
year when one may be practical
Speaking OF roses. have you noticed
Tulsa's gardens this year? There
were never so many roses ever seen
before. Small bushes are weighted
down with their blooms and the
wonderful ramblers are found NOT
