14 THE NORMAL RECORD commend to both you and your future pupils as the expression of as comprehensive a working ideal as I know of: " To live content with small means ; to seek elegance rather than luxury, and refinement rather than fashion ; to be worthy, not respectable, and wealthy, not rich; to study hard, think quietly, talk gently, act frankly ; to listen to stars and birds, to babes and sages ; to bear all cheerfully, to do all bravely, await occasions, hurry never—in a word, to let the spiritual unbidden and unconscious grow up through the common—this is to be my symphony." Commencement Week. The festivities of commencement week were inaugurated June 13 with a banquet given by the Senior B's to the graduating class. This banquet was given at the Park hotel and it is needless to say proved a grand success. The invited guests were Dr. Van Liew, Mr. and Mrs. Chase and Mr. and Mrs. E. I. Miller and the members of the Senior A and B classes. Miss Mattie Smith, president of the Senior B class, presided over the occasion. After an hour or so of social intercourse in the parlors of the hotel the guests were marshalled to the dining room, where they enjoyed a fine collation. The toasts were particularly good, Dr. Van Liew giving the first one in honor of the "Babies," otherwise interpreted the Senior A's. Mr. Miller then gave the toast " Our School," which only served to strengthen the love of those present for our great institution, the Normal. Mr. Thomas, president of the Senior class, gave the toast "Athletics," in which he showed the tie which binds us together is not only one of learning but one of co-operation in such a student enterprise as the "Athletic Association." Miss Grace Bean, editor of the Normal Record, gave a toast in honor of the same in which she showed that the Normal Record is the one great connecting link between our school life and our future life. Miss Jennie Wick gave the toast the " Y. W. C. A.," in which she brought out a clear idea of the world of good which that institution offers to all alike. Prof. R. E. Chase, teacher of the Senior A's, then gave a toast in honor of his class, which abounded in pleasant witticisms and yet gave to the class an idea of the great unknown to which they are going. After these toasts the guests reassembled in the parlors, where an hour or two was spent in a general social way until it was time to adjourn. The following night was given over to the mysterious rites of the initiation of several new members into the Q. T. Following the initiation services a banquet was enjoyed by all present. Saturday night the Y. M. N. D. S. and the Y. W. N. D. S. united in giving an open meeting. Miss Etta Stuart presided over the meeting. A short program was very creditably rendered and diplomas of graduation from these societies were given to the Misses E. Hand, K. Eggleston and Loretta Taylor and Messrs. F. Talcott, W. Thomas, S. P. Robbins, C. Crow- der. W. Wallace and John E. Birch. The baccalaureate sermon was preached Sunday night by the Rev. George E. Davis of the Baptist church. The discourse was a scholarly one and well rendered to a large and appreciative audience. The music was furnished by the Normal chorus. Dr. C. C. Van Liew tendered the members of the graduating class, the faculty and trustees of the Normal a charming reception Monday evening in the office and library of the
