The graduating class, to the music OF
pretty march, fled down the left corridor
to the stage, the sweet-looking young
ladies leading, all dressed In white, fol-
lowed by the young men. They took seats
behind huge floral bank composed Of
potted plants and host of elegant bou-
| auets, sent by friends TO the graduates.
The essays and oratiops were OF high
order, Arthur .Hollingworth's "American
Citizenship" being especially good.
The essay OF Mary Louise Rogers was
full of good thought and at times witty.
The girl of today "thinks and lives"
she said.
Robert Emerson was a complete master
of his oration. He spoke Of the prejudices
of the rich and aristocratic against higher
education Of the poorer classes.
One of the gems of the programme was
Miss Moroney's delightful essay, her
subject being,
"a primrose by a rivers brim.
A yellow primrose was to him,
And It was nothing more"
1t was an exquisite talk with the floral
world and charmingly delivered.
Miss Horizons essay was an unique tenn
perance lesson.
In fact, the entire programme was good.
Miss Mary A. Demers, daughter of Prof.
o. Demers, organist OF the Church OF the
Sacred Heart, sang so well that she re-
ceived a merited and well deserved recall.
She responded gracefully and rendered
"Madeline" In a pleasing manner.
Rev. Benjamin Eastwood, Chairman Of
the School Committee, In presenting the
diplomas, referred to the prospect of a
new and suitable High School building at
no distant day, and the reference was re-
ceived with applause.
