Thursday night brought as fair and beau
tiful weather as could be desired for the
graduation exercises of the second class Of
'S6 of the Gorham Normal School, and at an
early hour the main hall of the school build
ing was filed and oyerfowing with students
and friends of the school.
In introducing the exercises Of the evening
Principal Corthell said; Contrary to our
men, simple bill of fare this evening 1t is
the business of the colleges to furnish salut-
atories, valedictories, essays. ETC. We Of
humber pretensions offer you humber
programme"
The first exercise Of the evening was the
singing of the welcome song written by MIS-
Shapleigh.
After the song came Shakespearian read
ing by the graduating class. The selection
chosen was from the Merchant of Venice,
and in their rendering of the difficult parts
the class reflected the utmost credit upon
their faithful and competent instructor,
Miss Sarah E. Laughton.
Next came the history of the class by Miss
Clark. The plan of the history was some
what out of the usual run. 1t purported to
be a series Of extracts from a diary kept by
Clio and of imaginary conversations with
Calliope. In this diary Clio wrote down her
impressions of the class as she views it from
Mt. Helieon. Having lost her diary, 1t was
found by the historian, who read selections
from it here and there. 1t was filed with
humor and kept the audience on the broad
| grin throughout.
Next came the poem by Mrs. Barrett, who
took for her subject the Village Of Gorham::
| 1t was very smoothly written and delivered
| with perfect distinctneSs.
| Following the poem came the awarding OF
| the diplomas by Superintendent Luce, who
| did so in a few we'll chosen remarks.
| The last part on the programme was the
| Goodbye song, written by Miss Spear, after
| which there was an hour or two of social
reunion by the graduates and friends. Thus
| closed one of the most successful graduatiOnS
| in the history of the school.
