Commence ment will be May 24, 1920. Dr. D. V. ruling has been invited to speak to the graduating clasa on the evening of Commencement Undergraduates will remember thi, class because of their leadership in all the activities of the school.

Crystal i the youngest member of the class but. the Juniors will miss her kindly attention. Kenneth is one of the beet athletes of the school and will be missed when Maupin meet- her adversaries on the track and field. Estel has. won distinction for his skill, and grit. Maupin's chief come dian and song artist will be mised when we Journey to Madras another winter. We regret the passing of the class of 1920. They have led the school in studies and athletics.
