They, assisted by the teachers, made the costumes, dyed all the fabrics used trained the dancers, and arranged the entire pageant There were fifteen in the graduating class this year; four being members of the Junior College. In his talk to the class Dr. Graham gave them much good advice on the subject of educa- tion. He deplored the thought and time given to idle gossip, not only the chit-chat of the country town. but the futile matter offered in the daily pap CTS He urged greater interest in cul- ture, which he defined as vigorous and beautiful thought" and made a plea for fuller mental and moral life. After the presentation of diplomas. came the seniors garden party, which was very enjoyable. although the wea- ther again interfered. and they were obliged to entertain their friends in- doors.
