GRADUATES AND FAC- ULTY ENTERTAINED Immediately ~ following the graduation exercises last evening, the Seniors and faculty of the liigh school repaired to the home of Miss Louie Layton, an alum- nus of the institution, where an clegant luncheon was served. Relaxing from the worries of graduation, the Seniors threw themselves, heart and soul, into the festivities of the evening, while jokes, anecdotes, songs and witticisms filled the gayer mo- ments. Work over, and the heart light and free, for the time being 1t was as though a great burden had been lifted. Added to this was the absolute congeniality of the Seniors, which has ever been a marked characteristic of the; piesent graduating class, All m all, it seemed that everything con- spired to make the occasion a! most fitting climax to the week's entertaimment. / / //////W/Mm T ON EVERY PAIR WE SELL.
