say that Miss May was beautifully cos
TUNED and was an ideal graduate. Her
subject was The Drama of Life and was
beautifully fashioned after the style of her
imaginative race. Her voice IS not strong
but it is soft, mellow, sweet and clear and
the combination of words she used IN its
discussion was like a group OF flowers.
She is surely one OF the silver tongued
orators Of her class and is a credit to the
High school and the class OF '95.

in his gestures, and altogether proved
himself to possess the elements of phI!os
opher.
MISS MABEL CLARE MILLISoN
took for the subject of her GRAFTON,
Roads Miss Mabel is the sister OF
champion bcyclist, and evidently that
fact inspired the subjet which she handled
with skill and helped the cause along
with a series of convincing facts which
were presented with force. Miss Millison

of the utterance of a single trivial word
might amount to and argued that the

MISS MARY Z. SHAW.
The elements censpired against Miss
Shaw and most of her learned essay was

MISS ARE \. WIGHT

of the rainmakers. Her subject was He
