NO. 50
PRESENTED WITH DIPLOMAS
COMMENCEMENT EXERCISES OF CENTRAL STATE NOR-
MAL HELD THURSDAY..
Splendid Address by Dr. Lynch of Wichita, Kas.—Some
Meritorious Orations Delivered—Annual Contest
Between Literary Societies.
Thursday marked the closing
day of the fifteenth annual grad-
uating exercises of the Central
State Normal school. The grad-
uating exercises ware held at as-
sembly hall at 10 o'clock in the
forenoon. In the evening the an-
nual contest took place between
the Pioneer and Lyceum literary
societies, the former winning, the
points scored being 86 to 89.
THE COMMENCEMENT EXERCISES.
Assembly hall was filled Thurs-
day forenoon, when the graduat-
ing exercises were held. The
program was a splendid one, the
opening number being music by
the orchestra. This was followed
by a splendid oration, "Arnold
of Rugby," by Pearl Elizabeth
Nihart, after which Luther Lester
Dickerson delivered an excellent
oration, his subject being "Mod-
ern Arts Secure." "The Lost
Chord," by orchestra and choir,
was the next number on the pro-
gram, after which the annual ad-
dress was given by Rev. Frank
Lynch, pastor of the First Metho-
dist Episcopal church of Wichita.
Rev. Lynch's address was a
scholarly production, delivered in
a charming manner and was fully
appreciated by the large audi-
ence.
The next number was by far
the most important on the entire
program, being the presentation
of diplomas to the graduates, by
President Umholtz, who made a
few well-chosen remarks. After
music by the choir, "Away to the
Fields," the large audience was
dismissed. The exercise was one
of the most pleasing ever heard
in assembly hall.
The names of the graduates
have been heretofore published.
THE LITERARY CONTEST.
The annual contest between the
members of the Pioneer and the
Lyceum literary societies was
hold Thursday evening and drew
forth an audience that taxed the
capacity of the large hall. Fur-
thermore, the audience was a
noisy one, the members of each
society attempting to outdo their
opponents, both off and on the
stage. The program was a long
one, but was full of interest and
the large audience remained un-
til the end, which did not come
until midnight. The Pioneers
won-, scoring 89 points to their
opponents 86. The judges were
Attorney Robertson of Chandler,
and Prof. Hickan and I. M. Hol-
comb of Oklahoma City. Mr.
Toole presided in his usual grace-
ful manner. The colors were:
Pioneer, blue"and white; lyceum,
orange and black.
The program rendered was
printed in full in last week's is-
sue of the Sur^
A Pleasant Event.
One of the pleasing events of
commencement week "was the
party given by ^Prof, and Mrs.
Lehrer, which ws? \ overlooked by
the Sun in last week's issue. The
party was given in honor of their
children, who entertained in a
most royal manner a large num-
ber of young people. There were
many pleasant social functions
during the week, but none were
more highly enjoyed than that
given at the Lehrer home. Prof.
.Lehrer is the director in instru-
mental music and also the di-
re tor of the Normal band and
orchestra, and to his credit it may
be said both the orchestra and the
band have no superiors in the
state.

ing, with Mayor Kinger in the

the cleaning up of the city and
the keeping of the same in a san-
itary condition.
THE PROCEEDINGS.
A petition signed by twenty
property owners was presented,
asking that a oinderwalk be con-
structed across the north park,
north and south. The petition
was referred to the proper com-
mittee.
A resolution was introduced
that the mayor order the street
commissioner to have the grass in
the streets and alleys cut and that
property owner.* be requested to
cut the grass and weeds about
their property and on vacant lots.
Also that all persons be forbid-
den to dump any debris or rub-
bish within the city limits. The
resolution was adopted.
The committee on ways and
means asked for more time to re-
port on the resolution presented
at a previous meeting that the
city clerk be given an increase in
salary of $10 per month. The re-
quest was granted.
The question of the overflow of
the sewer at the Normal building
was again brought up and on
suggestion of Mayor Ringer the
matter was turned over to the
board of health for investigation.
Councilman Wood reported the
sewers at the corner of Broadway
and Main street too small to carry
off the water and suggested that
some ample provision be made to
take care of the overflow.
The proposition to open up
Hurd street across the railway
tracks was referred to the ordi-
nance committee. Councilman
Ringer suggested that if any
of the members of the conncil go
to Guthrie in the near future that
they call upon the attorney for
the Santa Fe railway, who would
probably look favorably on the
proposition.
Councilman Barber reported
that some work was needed on
the south end of the boulevard.
