 D.3HL®. InmiD)ley ] V Jang 7 SENIOR WEEK, JUNE, 1911 SENIOR WEEK for the Class of 1911 began on Sunday, June 4th, with the Baccelaureate sermon, which was delivered by the Rev. Walter Aitken at the First M. E. Church. The entire class of forty-four were present at this service. On Monday evening, June 5th, the Class Day exercises were held in the auditorium of the Washington Building. The program was opened with introductory remarks by Frank A. King, president of the class. The first number on the program was a violin solo by Miss Ruth MacNulty. Following this. Miss Irene Basch read the complete history of the class, from the first entrance into public schools until graduation from the High School. The reading was accompanied by living illustrations. In the class prophecy Miss Madge Olmsted disposed of the members of the class in various and interesting ways. In singing the class songs, which came next, the girls sang well, but where were the boys? The class poem written by Miss Ruth Spandau. and read by Miss Francis Burchit, was unusually good. A flower song by ten Senior girls came next: at at its conclusion these girls chose their husbands from a number of notables, and others not so notable. The class will, which was written by Miss Edna Blankenburg. was read by Miss Marguerite Citizen. It is hoped that the members of the Class of 1912 appreciated their various legacies. The leading comedy act of the entertainment was an operation on the brain of one of the Seniors by Will Tway and Sheral Funk. The surgeons in charge succeeded in removing a number of language texts and a botony from the head of the unfortunate Senior and gained immediate relief for him. although it must be said that he recovered entirely too quickly from the effects of about two gallons of chloroform which had been injected into his head to ease the pain of the operation. The handing down of the class roll by the Senior president, Frank King, to the Junior president, Donald Johns, was an impressive ceremony. The program concluded with a class song. On Wednesday evening, June 7th, the fortieth annual commencement of the Danville High School was held in the auditorium of the Washington Building. The decorations, which had been arranged by the Juniors, were very effective. The Rev. A. R. Taylor of Milliken University, delivered the address of the evening. This was followed by the presentation of the diplomas by Mr. L. D. Gass, president of the Board of Education. The response on behalf of the class was made by Miss Elizabeth Beyer. The Semi-Chorus added to the pleasure of the evening with their selections. A complete surprise for the Class of 1911 came when Miss Josephine Blose presented Frank King, representative of the Senior Class, a large bouquet of carnations from the Class of 1912. Thus ended the career of the Class of 1911 in the Danville High School. 22
