No one can gainsay the fact the
year just closed of the Newbury Sem
mary and town central school has been
the most successful since the old vii
lage district No. purchased the Sem.
mary building. The various depart.
ments held their examinations and
literary exercises Thursday and Fri.
day The graduating exercises of the
'94 class were held in the Seminary
Hall Friday evening. The large hall
was packed solid full as we'll as the
hall way leading to the audience room
many being obliged to stand. The
hall and stage were handsomely deco
rated, surprising anything ever seen
on similar occasions. The class motto,
''Veni vidi vici' was written over the
front of the stage in large evergreen
letters. The program was we'll rem
dered, and when the fact that the
various parts were original, is taken
into consideration and that the class
had not been professionally trimmed
for the occasion, and many of them
in the school for only one year, two
things must be apparent, viz, the
character of the class, and the char
acter of their instructors. The names
of the graduates taking part in the
exercises are Robert L. futile, Mae F..
Bowen, Albion E. johnson, Lillian G.
Swan, William G. Chamberlin. Lillian
A, Kennedy, Clara B. Tuttle, Burton
T. Hatch, Bertha M. Pike and Harry
w. Randall. Principal F. E. Prichard
presented the diplomas after briefly
addressing the class. Haley's orchestra
of Woodsville furnished excellent
music for the occasion. After refresh
ments the class invited their friends
to remain and enjoy an hour or two in
social intercourse and promenade.
Thus ends the first year of the town
central school under the recently in
augurated "town SYSTEM" The fact
is established that Mr.. Fred E. Prich.
ard is competent, that Mr.. M. FL. Ran
dali has made success of the business
department, that Caroline HI. Lang,
Florence B. Patterson, and Sue S.
Sawyer were the right teachers for
their several places. May prosperity
be meted out to this school.
1t was the good fortune of YOUR COR
respondent to attend Children's day
exercises at the Town House last Sun
day, and an enjoyable hour it was, the
programme was we'll executed under
the direction of the pastor, Rev. G. H.
Coolidge.
Another new school house assumes
size and form at West Newbury, and
to know that j. j. Smith has the mat
ter in charge is sufficient guarantee
of the quality of the work, and what
it will be like when completed. Mr..
Smith should be continued on the
school board until Jefferson Hill has a
new school house and in fact until
Newbury has sufficient number of
good respectable school houses to &C.
commodate all her children. l.. r. |
Kelley who was foreman on the Cen
tire school house has charge of the work |
at West Newbury.

One of the graduating class had the
misfortune to lose his class ring, the
same being a gold band ring with '94
engraved on it. Will the finder please
leave it with Mr.. S. L. Swasey.
Try trip over the Mt. Pulaski
carriage roads.
All the surrounding towns were
represented at the graduating exercises
Friday evening.
Geo. f. Morris, County examiner
for Orange county, has resigned his
office and F. E. Prichard has been APP
pointed to the position. We believe
that no mistake has been made in Mr..
Morris successor. While it is conced-
ed that Mr.. Morris was a thorough
and careful worker, and a good man
for the position, we believe Mr..
Prichard will take up the work and
that there will be no perceptable jar in
the school machinery of Orange county.
We are informed that Arthur Blod-
gett furnishes a good article of ice
cream in any quantity desired. this is
a new industry for Newbury village.
The Newbury news in the Haverhill
Currier is authority for saying that the
"Aunt Caty Atkinson" house will be
occupied this summer by Mrs. Joseph
Atkinson and her sisters.
Mrs. Jessie A. Goddard is expected
to occupy her summer home about
July LIST.
A. Greer's farm yards are a busy
