members and interested citizens.
Prof. Brodie, in his talk be-
fore the assemblage,> took the
occasion to answer some criti-
cisms which had been directed
at the school concerning the
high cost Of graduation and the
graduation trips taken by the
students each year. He explain

any parent who spent more
than that was doing SO perhaps
to encourage his child or to
show appreciation for its schol-
astic endeavors. He also told
his reason for using cap and
gown for the graduates. He
stated that it is embarrassing
to a to have other students able
to wear a new suit or fine
dress which he could not afford
to buy. So inorder to avoid
embarrassing anyone and also
to have all uniformly dressed
