AH the classes are doing well during this last term. The tired look of both pupils and teachers work, study and thought. The schools will close in nsix weeks. The graduating class numbers fifteen —four young men and eleven young ladies. They are working hard in preparing their graduating themes. Prof. Reubelt has received a free scholarship from Adrian College, Michigan, to be given to the member of the Senior class who graduates with the highest distinction. He will also receive one from the State University. - Walter Willey has succeeded in solving a problem in Trigonometry, a problem used in locating the position of buoys in maritime surveying, which Prof. Reubelt gave to the class on last Friday. This problem had never been solved by any of the 83 pupils, to whom the Prof, has taught Trigonometry, without some assistance. Walter succeeded in doing what so many failed to do. Some other members of the class are still at work on the problem.
