BACCALAUREATE SUNDAY; OTHER EVENTS FOLLOW.

Busy Week for Graduates Includes Commencement, Class Ray, Senior And Junior Receptions. The Rensselaer .schools close next week and the Senior class will be the center attraction and they will be busy from the first to the last of tbe week, mixing social functions with the commencement and class day exercises. The first of the events takes place Sunday evening at 7:45 o’clock, at th« Christian church. Dr. L. E. Murray, who is the state secretary of the Christian church, will deliver the baccalaureate sermdn. Special music will be prepared for tbe occasion. The public will be admitted to this service. On Tuesday evening at the opera house occurs the Class Day exercises, and the graduates will present “Esmeralda,” which will doubtless prove very pleasing to ■ the audience. The class day exercises are generally the most interesting of the commencement week events, as it is then that the graduates are seen in their individual capacities. The play which they have selected for this year is thought to afford opportunity for the development of talent and it is also said that the talent is equal to the emergency. On Wednesday evening occurs the Junior reception to the Senior class at the armory. This is an invitation event, largely confined to the two classes, 1

Thursday evening occurs the commencement. jit will consist of an address by S. A Long, of Dayton, Ohio, and will be held at tbe Christian church,, Friday evening occurs the alumni banquet, and tbe Seniors will be the guests of former graduates at the most pretentious social event of the commencement week. The ladies of the Presbyterian church will furnish the spread and serve it at the armory. A toast program of interest to all who are fortunate enough to attend will be one of the attractions. Dancing will probably close the alumni reception and also the Junior reception on Wednesday evening, « It will be a tired but happy set of Seniors who will Conclude the week with the banquet and while, not so large as some previous classes it >s one of the best equipped classes ever graduated from the Rensselaer school and it is expected that in the affairs of life on which they will now enter they will make an imprint for the accomplishment of much that is good. The names of the graduates are: Grace Albin Delevan Babcock Don Beam Charles Britt Elton Clarke Bertha Daniels Rosabel Daugherty / James Ellis Bernice Hammond Ruth Harper
