C o mm en cem e nt week is close at hand and exam in at ions will soon be ov e r So many of the s tullents are planning to le av e this we e k. The only acceptable excuse for this is finances, but out s id e of this reason the st ud ents should cons id er it almost a duty to be here. It seems mo re l ike commencements for a ~rowd of students t o be around, especia ll y in a s;na ll college where numbers ad d to the excitement.
Comm encemen t week this
Some town people should bear in mind that not every thi ng me an is done by s tud e nts. Not long since a gang fr om o m ew h e re m ade coll ege avenue sou nd Ik e a few s h a d es had escaped from inferno, with their swear in g a nd rowJy acti o ns No c o mpl a int was henrd from anyone. So let there be eq uity and ju s tice in judgements pas se d on events that seem to be caused by students
There are two sides to the fun quest ion here in West e rville .
Paved Str eets
Th e contractors are hauling bricks for pavin g Grove street and other adj a cent stree ts. It seems a pity to have thes e uns ightly piles of bricks on the s tre e ts during commencement week but a great d e al rather that than to never have nice streets. Grove, Plum and Park st reets will be completed this summer.

It has lon g been the custom in the college for the boys to see that their girls are generously supplied with flowers for t!1e different occasions common to commencement week It seems to me that this is nothing short of greenness, something to expected at a country high school commenc e ment instead of a college.
