40 GRADUATES
AT THE S. S. S.
Wahpeton N.Dakota
The annual commencement exer
cises of the State Science School1
were held in the gymnasium last
Friday P. M. June 15. The attend
ance was very good. The picnic
dinner proved a splendid success
and as the day was ideal, the out
ing was thoroughly enjoyed by all
whow ere present. The peopfe of
Wahpeton, however, defaulted to
such an extent that if it had not!
been for the large numbers of out!
of town visitors, the picnic would1
have been much less of an event.
The band concert at the noon hour
was a fine treat. Prof. Warren1
has the happy faculty of keeping
his men together until the last call
is over, and this proved no excep
tion. The forty-piece band that as
sembled last Friday was as good'
as could be had anywhere in the
state.
At two o'clock the graduating
exercises began with two splendid
numbers by the orchestra. Rev. W,
Walton then pronounced the invo
cation. his was followed by two
very fine orations "Verdun" by
Miss Florence Wright, and a
"Democratic Education," by Miss
Maria Broen. The Science School
sextette, then sung one of their
songs for which they are so famous.
Miss Iiuth Walter then gave a
demonstration in Home 'Nursing
which proved to be a very timelv
and interesting piece of work. Ii
was exceedingly well received. So
ph us Bolmc next gave a "wireless
demonstration anil this, too, was
well received and enjoyed by all.
Tiie sextette followed with a
very pleasing selection. The song
was followed bv a "demonstrate
in chemical phenomena" by Mis?
Anna Braun. This is always a pon
ular subject and was splendidly
handled by Miss Braun.
Pres. Smith then made the pres
entation speech and gave the diplo-'
mas to the forty members of the
class. We feel that this was a com
ittenoesmffit of very unusual quali
ties and we wish to congratulate
those who were fortunate enough
to hear it, as well as to thank them
for their interest in our efforts.
The faculty members will spend
the summer in a diversity of ways.
President Smith, Profs. E. H.'
Jones, E. O. Prather, Arthur Neu
mann and Miss Mirick will teach
