nual commencement of the O.. S. u,
to be held June 10, are students
from McConnelsville. The present
class is smaller than that of year
ago when more than 1900 degrees
were conferred, due to the granting
of degrees at formal cOnvocation
at the end of each of the first three
quarters of the school year. AS has
been the case for several years the
June commencement will be held in
the coliseum at the state fair
grounds, because of a lack of ade-
quate facilities on the campus. The
commencement address will be CIV
en- by Rev. Lloyd c. Douglas, pastor
of the First Congregational church,
Akron. The commencement festivf-
ties will begin June Z, with alumni
day. The baccalaureate sermon will
be given June 8. June 9 will be
senior class day. Much of this years
festivities will center around recog-
milton of the completion of rs years
of service as president of the univer-
sity, by DR.. w. o. Thompson.
The McConnelsville students who
are candidates for degrees and the
colleges from which they are to be
graduated, include College of Com

Civil and World wars and of all
wars, voicing the opinion that the
services of the soldiers of the Span
american war had perhaps to a
measure been overlooked, and re-
ferring to the many who lost their
lives in that confiict-in battle, and
through disease.
Mr.. McRae stated that he does not
favor the pacifism that would mini
mize the importance of prepared
ness. He declared that right has
won over wrong through many con-
fiicts, and that the hand of God has
been shown in the lives of 2he ma
tions.
In the experience of Mr.. McRae,
working as he has in various locali-
ties, he has found none, he said,
where the spirit of fine, general
patriotism is more manifest than
among the people of this part of
the Muskingum valley.
Following the services at the op-
era house, the various patriotic or
ganizations, and citizens, headed by
the band, made their way to the

service and decoration in honor of
the naval dead, was conducted by
the members of the w. r. c..
