The annual inspection of domitories
and shops by the students was one of the
most popular features of Commence
ment week. The immaculate clean
liness and perfect order impressed both
teachers and pupils, but all agreed that
the girls' quarters were a little prettier
and more livable than the barracks of
the hoys. It would be hard to say
where photographs flourish the most
numerously. Native American.

Miss Estelle Reel, Superintendent of
Indian Schools, has been paying us a
visit for a few days on business connect
ed with the N. E. A. Convention to be
held at Cleveland this summer. This
school will probably participate to the
extent of sending students to illustrate
and demonstrate the work which is be
ing done here to develop native Indian
art. Aside from that, it may be that
arrangements can be perfected to send
that number of the commencement pro
gram which elicited so much favorable
comment, i. e., the talk and demonstra
tion by Elizabeth Penny and some of
her friends concerning the life and cus
toms of the Nez Perce.
Miss Reel is always a welcome guest,
and we are glad to have her with us.

On Wednesday evening the Juniors
gave a reception to the graduating class,
their friends and teacher. The parlors
of the girls' home never looked prettier
than on that joyful occasion, brightened
as they were by red rugs and lights and
graceful festooning of pepper leaves
and class colors, with numerous huge
bowls of roses and sweet peas filling all
the available spaces. The entertain
ment was lavish and vastly appreciated;
the cakes, especially, seemed too good
to be eaten, having been concocted by
the graduates and other pupils for dis
play purposes. If they had been made
for a June bride they could hardly
have been better. The happy seven
were blithe and festive, dressed in be
. coming black and white. Success to
the class oj'08! Native American.
The school band is in demand these
days, applications having been received
for some half dozen dates already. How
ever as several of the leading players are
in the ball team, not all dates can be
supplied as some of the ball games have
been scheduled for the same time.
