Luciano Polverelli, leader of the Ravena Band, will provide a complete program of classical and popular selections and the boys are in excellent shape.
- The classes of 1923 of the Ravena Schools completed their schoolwork in the auditorium with their various commencement exercises.

The events were all well attended, and although the building itself was not completed, the contractor made a special effort to complete the auditorium for the occasion.
