Very Successful Junior Day Exer-
cises at Cony High School.
Orations, Essays and Music Finely Rem
dered by the Coming Seniors.

The Junior day exercises held.
Wednesday morning, at the Colby
High school, were most interesting to
the pupils and large number of parents
assembled and certainly most gratify-
ing to the teachers. The selections
wer excellent and given with grace
and ease that reflects much credit upon
those who participated.
The hall was prettily decorated for
the occasion, bright colored bunting
adorning the platform, with strings Of
evergreen. The busts of Jupiter and
Longfellow were placed upon tables
covered with blue and pink muslin.
If the work shown at the exercises
is any criterion of that of the entire
class of '94, most of whom will gradu-
ate next June, there is every promise
of a very brilliant finish for these
coming seniors. Education was well
displayed in the programme. There
were orations and addresses and
essays, with music, showing that the
young people are determined to accept
education in it's broadest interpreta-
ton.
Much care has been taken by the
teachers and students alike to have
an interesting and intellectual exhibit
ton. The pieces were giver with a
general nonchalant ease, yet With ST
much expression, that during the hour,
and more, that was occupied. there
was not one dull moment.
1t would be difficult to select any one
as superior to the others. The singing
by the quartet consisting of Messrs
Sanborn and Owen. Miss Fuller and
Miss Clark, was very good indeed, and
warmly appreciated. Miss Clark and
Miss Fuller each gave solos, and also a
duet. that showed great talent. The
solo by Miss Fuller, with obligato, on
the violin, by Mr.. Sanborn, was very
| much enjoyed. Miss Heaths opening
selection on the piano was also excel
lent
Miss Titcomb's essay on Eugene
Field was very bright, and showed a
lively appreciation of that versatile
writer's merit. The address by Mr.
Barrows, the Grafton by Mr. Scrbner
and the presentations of the busts by
Mr.. Miller and Miss Partridge were all
very fine. and warmly applauded. The
Misses Jones and Clancy We're very en-
tcrtaining and interesting.
Hon. Lendall Titcomb accepted the
presentation of the busts in behalf of
the trustees in a thoughtful address
entering into a short history of the
school and its founders, that was APP
prcciated by all present.
