Sports Class Day Exercises.
COMMENCKMF.NT DAY.
The Commencement exercises of
1895 will go into the history of the
Normal, as the most largely attended,
and withal, perhaps the best in the
history of the school.
The exercises proper began Sunday
June 23, at 3 p. m., when the Bacca
laureate sermon was delivered to the
graduating class. The 'cla3s is the
largest in all the history of Normal
schools in Pennsylvania, numbering
one hundred and forty six members.
The sermon wan preached by Rev.
Howard Wilbur V.nnis of the Western
Presbyterian church of Washington
D. C.
It was in niar.y respects the most
helpful sermon our students have had
for many years. Finding his text in
2nd Timothy 2-1 c, "Study to show
thyself approved unto God, a work
man that nccduth not to be ashamed."
He chose to t.-.ke lor his theme : The
Dynamics of youth. The Reverend
gentleman by his courteous manner,
and frark oprnheaitedness won the
confidence and esteem of all, the
sermon because of its plain, practical,
pointed truths, will be remembered
long.
MONDAY EVENING.
Monday evening was Junior night,
and right royally did these Seniors of
'96, entertain the fully fifteen hundred
people who had assembled in the great
Auditorium to hear and enjoy their
exercises. Well, they heard and they
did enjoy. The audience heard be
cause they were interested, and who
could help being interested when every
one did so well ; and they enjoyed the
evening's performances because there
was something to enjoy.
Every character in the farces was as
well taken as it seems possible for
amateur to do.
The music on this occasion as
furnished; by the Normal School or
chestra, under the splendid leadership
of Miss Rosa Haas, ably assisted by
Miss Ella Stump, was most charming.
Every number was rendered as though
that was the best of them all.

the least, deudedly humorous.
The Class Statistics had some won
derful revelations, as set ;lown in cold

originator of this outdid himself in
some of his chuses in which he dis
posed of the various paraphernalia,

COMMENCEMENT DAY.
Commencement day proper
was
one long to be remembered.
The program in point of orations
and essays, was never better, and re
llects great credit not only upon the
young people who delivered them so
earnestly, but as well upon those of
the faculty who had charge of the
writing of these, and of their prepara
tion for final delivery or presentation.

And thus ended the Commence
ment proper of 1895, and a royally
good one it was.
We say good because every. number
of the week passed off with the fullest
success, good because of the renewing
of many friendships of former days,
good because of the encouraging
prospects held in promise lor the
coming year, and good because our
Normal school is coming to be recog
nized throughout the entire state as
standing in the very fore front of
the educational line foremost in
progressive teaching and among the
very leaders in the development of
honest Christian characters.
ALUMNI MEETING AND DINNER.
Immedately after the close of the
exercises the Alumni Association met
in the Auditorium, and transacted
some business, elected omccrs lor
next year and discussed matters per
taining to the future of Normal
Schools. At two o'clock the dining
hall was thrown open and an excellent
collation was partaken of by a large
number of people. At the close, a
feast of reason followed, with G. J.
Clark Esq., as toastmaster. His
theme was " The day we love." J. C.
Brown, of the trustees' committee on
buildings and grounds, spoke on
" Building buildings," and Miss Mame
Detwiler '95 responded for her class.
Dr. Welsh discussed " Conditions
confronting the Normal School," and
the speech making ended with the
response of R. R. Little Esq., to
"Our Guardians." Jt was late in
the afternoon when the company
arose, and as they departed from the
dining hall, the commencement
exercises of 1895 were a thing of the
past.

BITTEN BY A SNAKE.
A WOMAN ATTACKED BY A RATTLER
THAT WAS STEALING A CHICKEN.
Mrs. Henry P. Wagner, of Shick.
shinny, heard her chickens making a
good deal of noise, and went to the
lower end of the garden to learn the
cause. She saw down near the fence
what she supposed was a chicken
being dragged away by a cat, and
hurrying to the spot she seized the
fowl to rescue it. She had hardly
done so when the chicken was released
and she felt a stinging pain in the
palm of her left hand and saw that
the wound had been inflicted by a
large snake, which was preparing to
strike her ai?ain.
Mrs. Warner sere. in el and assist

Rather bewildering nowa
days, to find out from the
newspapers the best store in
which to buy your clothes.
Modesty is not a conspicuous
feature of modern advertise
ments, and anyone who swal
lows gullibly all thats said in
some of them is in a fair way
to be bamboozled. Seemingly,
perhaps, we're no more modest
than other folks. Yet, know
ing how excellent our clothing
is and what a good round sum
people save by dealing with
us, we're often tempted to
blow our horn a good deal
louder than we do.
