Discuss Dress for Graduation There is 1quite a discussion going- on among the eighth grade girls of Howard school as to What kind'of dresses tbey want. for graduation. Members of the board of education think that the. girls would look nice ini white summer sport dresses and are going to have, a style exhibit to show the mothers. wbat kind, of- dress- es they tbink woUld be appropriate. The girls,, however, ant .lighit colored organdy summer frocks ,about ten inches.from the floor. The girls feel tbey should have what they want because they are the ones who wear the dresses. On the other hand. the board.saty> that if the girls have fancy (dresses, now they will have, nothing to looik forward to when they graduate f roin high school,' so there is a good argu- ment on both sides.-NVirgiiai)àal- strom, Howard '8B.
