L SCHOOL NOTES
•£!
Mala Seminary.
Clint Robertson is on the sick list this
week.
Karl E. Ward was very sick this
week.
Clarence Madden visited with rela-
tives at Braggs this week.
George and Jim Tyner returned from
Canev Monday, where they visited a
few day8.
The Cherokee and Sequoyah societies
will have a joint session for the farewell
program next Friday.
The boys are mowing the grass and
weeds out of the yard so as to make
things look beautiful commencement.
At a ball game last Monday, John
Brown was struck in the face by a foul
ball which injured him very seriously.
The ball games with Bacone last Fri-
day and Saturday were very good. Fri-
day's game ended 8 and a in favor of
the Seminary, but Saturday morning
the game ended 7 and 6 in favor of
Bacone. _
Cherokee Academy.
Quite a number of the Academy stu-
dents expect to attend the Normal this
summer.
The reporter of the Academy news will
now bid the Arrow readers goodbye.
We are going to forget our books and
school life now for a season, but hope to
renew your acquaintance when school
reopens.
Prof. Pack, who ift a memlier of the
executive board of Bacone University,
has been notified that there will l>e a
meeting of that board May 80 at the Uni-
versity. This will be during the com-
mencement exercises of that school.
There were practically twice as many
present to receive their grade cards on
the last day as ever before.
Commencement mertns a parting time
as well as a graduating time. Such
times reveal how others have grown into
our affections. Such experiences are a
part of our education.
Most of the teachers have gone from
the Academy. They will sj>end their
vacation at the following places: Miss
Flora Murphy, Evergreen, Ala.; Miss
Florence Wynn, Providence, Ky.; Miss
Maude Sweeney, Bowling Green, Ky.;
Prof. S. W. Partee supply part of the
vacation for hisbrother at Liberty, Mo.;
Mrs. McIntosh, The Dalles, Ore.; Miss
Jones, Fort Smith; Prof. Rosson, War-
trace, Tenn.; Prof. Pack, part of the
time in the territory and part the time
in Colorado. Misses "Murphy and Wynn,
Mrs. McIntosh and Profs. Rosson and
Pack will return next session.
We dared not hope for such a splendid
success in all the commencement exer-
cises as were evidenced from the begin-
ning to the end. Dr. Crannell's seruion
at the Baptist church was an exception-
ally fine production, and very appro-
priate for a baccalaureate sermon, and
the double quartette charmed the large
audience with their music. The enter-
tainment on Wednesday evening at the
opera house was pronounced by the best
critics to be one of the finest attractions
ever given in Tahlequah. The gradua-
ting exercises Thursday evening was en-
joyed by the immense audience. J. N.
Tillman, president of Arkansas Univer-
sity, and W. TJ. Farmer, president of
Bacone University, increased the pleas-
ure and dignity of the occasion. Such
exercises are helpful to any town and
community. Many more graduates could
be turned out from this school each year
if there were not such rigid require-
ments and new branches being added to
the curriculum. A graduate from ( her-
okee Academy must stand for something;
so say the faculty.

from the laundry people.
A Good Showing
The census enumerators have com-
pleted their labors and report 2,250 citi-
zens within the incorporated town of

included the land office force and many
others.
