S. X. S. for Senior College work grows. The largest enrollment so far was in the summer of 1918, when the class numbered ninty six. Particularly since the school has offered special advanced courses leading to the Degree of Bachelor of Arts, has the number doing Post Graduate work increased. This degree qualifies the student to teach in any High School in the state and enables tin holder to enter any graduate college mid work directly for the Masters Degree. During the summer of 191S the class took a prominent part in all 1 he activities of the school. Early in the term they entertained the faculty and students at a lawn fete. Games, music and a pageant furnished entertain- ment. Light refreshments were served. At commencement time the class presented a play written by one of the sponsors, Dean George E. Martin. This play was entitled “The Two Lamps of Aladdin” and was presented in the school auditorium July 19, 1918. A Post Graduate class was firsl organized at K. S. X. S. in the fall of 1916, and to celebrate the occasion, the class gave a banquet. Each succeed- ing class, has followed their example, and the annual Mid-Year's banquet has become one of the most enjoyable events of the year. This winter, places were laid for twenty-four. Miss Courtright acted as Toast Mistress. Toasts were given by Louise Luedtke, Otto Olson, Ruth King and Dean Martin. The class will send a copy of the bulletin to every graduate as well as to others who may be interested. We hope it will recall many, not only to ♦ he party, but to remain and work for an A. B.
