Whether this is evidence of a superior intellect is open to argument, but it is i more likely due to a closer application to school work on the part of the young women. The commencement exercises began | on Sunday evening with the baccalaureate sermon preached by Dr. George E. Hawes, in the Presbyterian church. A large congregation was present to hear these services. Monday evening the annual Junior de- clamatory contest was held at the High school building, and a large audience was in attendance. Dr. F. E. Whiting pre- sided and the contestants and their sub- , jects were as follows: ’ Music. “Church Discipline”........cococcveieimineraennuien Henrietta C.
