GRADCATIOX EXERCISES
WILL OOM3IEXCE MAY 22
Six Young ladles Will Complete
Course Class Play Will Be Given.
Program for Commencement Ex
ercises Will Be Devoted to Eastern
Oregon.
Arrangements are nearly completed
for the annual commencement of the
Pendleton academy. The exercises
will commence Sunday morning-, May
22 with the baccalaureate sermon
which will be delivered Jointly to the
graduating classes of the high school
and academy and will continue until
Wednesday evening when the six
"sweet girl" graduates will be given
their diplomas.
May 22 will be baccalaureate Sun
day, Monday will occur the annual
meeting of the board of trustees,
Tuesday will be class day and Wed
nesday, May 22, will be the day on
which the commencement exercises
proper will be held.
The six members of the graduating
class are the Misses Maud McRey
noMs of Pilot Rock, Leila Norvell of
Helix. Edith Raley of Pendleton, Ed
na Rogers of Pine, Anna Tullls of
Pendleton, and Sadie Young of La
Grande.
Several changes from the usual or
der of events are being planned for
this occasion. For one thing, it is
proposed by the class to substitute a
play for the regular class day exer
cises and for another the program for
the graduation exercises will be an
eastern Oregon program. Some phase
of this part of the state will be cov
ered in a paper to be prepared by
each of the graduates. One will dis
cuss the scenery of eastern Oregon,
another the history of Pendleton, an
other will have Chief Joseph for her
subject, while the "Future of Eastern
Oregon," "Indian Myths" and Educa
tion In Eastern Oregon," will be the
subjects to be covered by the others.
With the exception that a man has
not yet been secured to preach the
baccalaureate sermon, the arrange
ments for the entire week' are prac
tically completed. The sermon will
probably be preached in the Metho
dist church, while the other exercises
will probably be held In the Presbyte
rian church.

Pendleton's cleaning up campaign
Is now on in earnest despite the ap
parent attempt of Jupitur Pluvius to
dampen the ardor of the citizens. The
rake is being worked overtime and
the smoke from a hundred heaps of
burning rubbish Is curling up Into the
heavens in an attempt to assist the
rain clouds In entirely blotting out the
sky.
Hundreds of citteens, women as well
as men; children as well as adults,
have been using the garden rake to
day as It has not been used before in
months. Tin cans, old bottles, dis
carded cooking Implements and brok
en dishes now adorn nearly 'every
street In the city. Some are in boxes,
others in sacks, while in the absence
of either sacks or boxes, the debris In
other places is piled in heaps beside
the walks, which will appear Mon
day, morning. Everything that can
be burned is being destroyed In that
manner, while the Indestructible ar
ticles will be hauled to the dump pile,
west of town.
One of the places where the greatest
activity is being manifested is at the
Pendleton academy. School was dis
missed there this morning and all day
the students and members of . the fac
ulty have been Joining heartliy in the
crusade against filth and litter. But
the efforts of the workers at the acad
emy will not cease with the mere
cleaning up of the grounds about the
buildings. An effort Is being made
to further beautify the campus. Horses
and plows have been pressed Into
service, two terraces will be made be
tween the academy and the mill race
and the start will be made toward
opening up the driveway or boulevard
from the academy past the new Chris
tian church to the Main street bridge.
While the public schools were not
dismissed, each teacher delivered a
lecture to the pupils on the Import
ance of each seeing that the grounds
about his or her home are cleaned up
and tomorrow the pupils will all be
expected to Join In the crusade for a
cleaner and more healthful city.
So far there have been no reports
of anyone refusing to observe the oc
casion and it is believed that the wo
men and the officers of the city will
meet with nothing but co-operation
on every hand. v
