84 THE TARGET Commencement Exercises '. .J Hg: Sunday morning, June ll, the senior class, escorted by the lv remainder of the corps, marched to the First Presbyterian Church, where Chaplain Pfanstiehl delivered the baccalaureate sermon, taking for his subject, HA Purpose in Life. pn ,M Monday was a busy day. In addition to an already well .P filled schedule, an inspection by the state visiting committee was added to the program of the day. That the corps successfully withstood the ordeal of a rather rigid inspection is vouched for by the fact that Colonel Fieldhouse volunteered the statement that he would recom- mend improved equipments for the battalion. Following the inspection were the field day events, details of which will be found elsewhere, crack company drill, artillery drill, and the sham battle. The sham battle was realistic to the extent of a busily engaged ambulance corps, and to the carrying off of dead and wounded by surviving comrades. On Tuesday morning the last chapel exercises were held, and a greater part of the forenoon devoted to full dress inspection of quarters. At one o'clock the seniors were escorted to the drill hall where the following exercises were held: if 5' Fl? Orchestra-a. Silver Star Overture . . ...... H azel b. Gavotte, Magician .... . . .Farlcmd , Prayer. fl Saxophone Solo: Thoughts of Home .... .... .... H a zel' Address to the Graduating Class .............................. Prof. Edwin E.
