; MIND AND HAND. THE GRADUATING CLASS. IT is with regret that the June Class of ' 97 hids adieu to her ' ■ Alma Mater. It is like going from firm land to uncertain seas, seas to us, as yet unexplored. What awaits us on that great unknown, we can not tell. To some of us it may he a smooth channel ; hut to many it will be a rough sea. The class as an organization has been very successful. The following are Presi- dents in order of election : Gertrude Zerbee, Hans 0. Stechhan, Fred Stevens and Fred Koekert, each serving two terms consisting of ten weeks each. The present officers are : Fred Koekert, President ; Edgar Kiser, Vice-President; Fannie Trees, Treasurer and Secretary; Minnie Bowen, Historian. The class looks back over its various so- cial gatherings with much pleasure, the halloween parties, the New Year ' s eve watch party, the tramp after paw-paws and the meeting of the class as the Sartor Resartus Club — all recall pleasant recol- lections. The class motto is, Who lacks an aim ne ' er finds success. The colors are Green and White, and the flower is the white rose. The graduating class wishes to extend its hearty thanks to the teachers of the institution, for the pains they have taken with us, and for the trouble and work we have caused them. To Mr. Emmerich we are very grateful, for the fatherly care he has taken of us, and the many favors he has granted us. We wish our successors all happiness and prosperity. G. C. Z. LIBRARY.

Maxwell, Superintend- ent of Public Schools at Brooklyn, jS Y. : u I saw no work which I did not approve. I saw a great deal of work that excited my admiration. The building is admirably planned for the purposes for which it is used. It is indeed a model for other cities to imitate. Hon. William E. Dodge, of New York : Among the pleasant and profitable inci- dents of my trip to Indianapolis, I shall always remember my visit to the Industrial Training School. I have had some knowl- edge of these schools in various sections of the country, and I know of no one more wisely equipped, more cheerful or appar- ently doing better work than the one in Indianapolis. It must be a large factor for good in your State. Horace S. Tarbell, Superintendent of Public Schools at Providence, R. I. : Having recently had the pleasure of a visit to your school, I was surprised at the evidence of prosperity which the building, its equipments, its pupils and teachers demonstrate. I believe that there is no better equipped institution for its purpose maintained by public school authorities in the United States. Mr. A. J. Lane, Super intendent of Pub- lic Schools, Chicago, 111. : [ congratulate the young people of Indianapolis on the
