number. The old hall which years ago
was the scene of many school gatherings
was finely decorated with flags, bunting

and honored Gorham Academy.

Presentation of Diplomas.
Of this class, Robert E. Soule, Ernest
M. Davis, Charles L. Curtis, Wallace S.
Mitchell, propose to take the college
course at Bowdoin.
In the incoming senior class, '94, DON
aid Mcmillan, julius Fogg, Rufus Ran
dali and David Dana Spear, Jr., propose
to take college course, three of them
probably at Bowdoin.
In the junior class, Rich, Warren,
Gushing, Sadler, Miss Jordan and Miss
Soule are taking the preparatory college
course, and will probably take later the
full college course.
If other towns are like Freeport, the
high schools are rivalling the best fitting
academies in Maine. 1t is certain, and
has become apparent that the movement
OF ~ establishing high schools in the
different parts of our state has proved an
educational factor of larger consequence
by far than was anticipated by the fond
est hopes of the originators.
Through the courtesy of Hon. E. B.
Mallet, the seniors and juniors of Free
port high school will enjoy a sail in the
yacht Restless, Saturday, about Casco
Bay.
