class was graduated in 1876, and this year
school is not in the least abated. The prin-
cipal OF the school, E. s. Bartlett, has shown
marked ability in this, his first year in Free
port High School, and he has not only made
this school equal to the best. but by his
courteous and gentlemanly bearing has won
hosts of friends.
The reading of the several parts was ex-
ceedingly fine, and the alumni of Freeport
High School welcome the class of 49, May
your future be as successful as have been
your efforts in Freeport High School. The
church was lastly and skilfully decorated,
and much praise is due the scholars, who,
under the supervision of the principal, have
taken such an active part in making the ex-
ercises thorough success in this particular.
