GRADUATING EXERCISES AT CAPE ELIZA
BETH HIGH SCHOOL
The graduating exercises of the Cape Eliz-
beth High School occurred Wednesday after
noon. NO event that takes place in town ex
cites greater interest than DO these exercises.
AS the years go by the number of those who
have graduated from this school or have been
connected with it has increased, so that all
sections of the town have come to feel per-
sonal interest in 1t and thus the commence
ment exercises are made almost holiday.
The exercises were held in the town hall,
which was crowded to its fullest capacity.
Inc day was all that could be desired, bright
breezy and COOL The hall was beautifully
draped with bunting and with flowers in
profusion. The wall behind the platform
was decorated with flags and wreaths and
the inscription, "Class of 49," and the class
motto, "Ne teutes aut perfce." Mr.. win
Stockbridge and sister were the vocalsts.
Their singing was excellent, as it always is,
and elected great applause and several en-
cores. Collins orchestra furnished the in-
strumental music
All the parts were well written, showing
much thought and careful study and were
delivered with a self-possession many an
older person might have enyied. The Glass
song was rather above the average of such
productions. The diplomas were presented
by =. 9. Verrill, Esq, In very appropriate
remarks.
Following is the programme of exercises:
