vancement and progress.
The class OF the present year is the
largest in the history of the school, mum
bering seventeen. This speaks volumes
for the teachers and those in charge of
the school as it proves that they have.
held the interest of the students to the
very end of the course which is an ele-
ment of strength second alone to the
faculty of properly instructing. Memo
rial Hall was beautifully decorated and
made a very pleasing appearance.
The program differed from any hereto
fore given. 1t represented scene in
Japan twenty years hence and the hall
ndstage were dccoratedin the Japanese
style to help carry out the effect. The
young men of the class, except Mr..
Cleveland, had each crown mustache
which was supposed to make them look
twenty years older, but the young ladies
were content TO appear just as young as
in the year 1892.
The exercises began by the supposed
assembling of the class after the twenty
years separation and was done in a very
artistic manner, especially the girls"
who kissed just as natural as life and
just as enthusiastically as when at
school.
A song of welcome was then sung by
the class and Rev. F. w. Hart offered
prayer. Mr.I. I. Mossman, the president
of the class organization, made some
very appropriate Introductory remarks
and oficiated as chairman of the evening
and the manner in which he performed
the duties of his Office proved him to be
the right person for the place.
Then Miss Mabel Kells addressed the
audience in Latin, her delivery was fine
but some Of the audience were unable to
follow her in her discourse as they had
not brought their Latin lexicon with
them.
The class grafton upon the subject of
the Study of Science was delivered by
Madison ]. Cleveland and was very
fine production, filled with original and
practical thoughts and ideas.
Miss Gertrude ]. McNutt took some
what different view of the matter and
presented paper entitled Language
and Literary Study" and she handled
the subject in mastery manner prov
mo hot che OF lxy hal, Ia,.
ject but that the study oflanguage and
literature to her is an inspiration.
The audience at this poiut was put in
good humor by song rendered by the
male quartet. A new version of Simple
Simon was presented in such spirited
manner to elicit an encore.
The History of the Boys" was then
given by Miss Alice Morris. Her treat
ment of these subjects 1.-THE boys was
witty and interesting-and the audience
showed their appreciation oft by frequent
applause.
Mr.. Julius Syfford evened up matters
in the next paper. 1t was his privilege to
prepare history of the girls, and he did
it in way that pleased everybody. 1t
was little embarrassing for some OF the
young ladies to have their past acts re-
corded, but like all true historians Mr..
Syfford felt it his duty to keep within
the bounds of truth, When the records
were imperfect. he supplied the deficiency
by drawing upon his Imagination. 1t
was well written paper.
Miss Annabel Morris expressed the re-
grets of the class in very effective and
affecting manner touching upon the near
separation of the class and the. scatter
ing of school fellows.
The Class Paper was prepared and
read by Miss Marion E. Cleveland and
William P. Chase and was model pro-.
duction filled with news, matters Of
science, wit, humor and in fact every.
thing that goes to make up model
journal, emitting the very many objec.
tional features that we so often see in
newspapers.
The ladies' trio rendered selection
which was very warmly applauded.
The Spade grafton" then followed
made By Spencer Tuve which was very
pleasantly done. A real every dav
spade, one fit for right down hard work,
was presented by Mr.. Tuve to the Junior
class with much good advice as to the
manner that class should dig" during
the coming year. Anton Johnson, a
member OF the junior class, received the
spade and returned thanks TO the sen.
Tors Tor the same in the name of and in
behalf OF his class in very able manner.
Then came an essay on the the class
motto by Miss H. Albertha Stiles, we'll
written and splendrdly delivered. Every
word was Distinctly uttered and empha-
sized where emphasis belonged.
The defamation delivered by Miss
Mary Quinn upon the Fall of Penber-
ton Mill' had to be heard to be appre.
ciated. No description can do the man.
ner OF its rendition justice. Miss Quinn
surely has genius il the line OF decIa.
nation.
Following Miss Quinn, Superintendent
Y. l. Woodley sang a selection which
was received with applause.
The Class Prophecy by Miss Mary E.
Buchanan and Parry Bixby showed no
doubt close insight in the human ma
ture as it foreordained for the members
OF the class their future We hope that
President Mossman OF the Great Nor
them will attend to the division question
at once.
One OF the most pleasing parts OF the
program was the class poem The Two
Roads by Miss Minnie E. Pike. 1t IS a
production of renl merit and we believe
IS destined to adorn the pages of Ameri-
can literature. 1t is printed in full IN this
