The commencement exercises of the
class of '96, Hinsdale High school, were
held in the town hall Wednesday evening.
The hall was literally packed with an en-

ira rendered several fine selections and
there was singing by the combined High
School Glee club. and girls chorus. The
stage was tastefully arranged, the class
motto, "Act well thy part, there all the
honor lies," appearing in artistic letters on
an arch at the back. Only the seven men,
bers of the class were seated on the stage,
the board of education and the teachers
being seated with the school in the front
seats on the floor of the hall. All mem
bers of the class did exceptionally well,
Paul II. Mann's class prophecy being re-
ceived with a burst of applause. The
class song was sung with orchestra accom-
! paniment. Prof. Patterson conferred the
diplomas and made a few well-chosen re-
marks. A reception was given to the class
by the citizens under the direction of the
junior class at the town hall Thursday
9 evening. We give below the class song
: words and music by Bertha II. Lewis:
: 1.-The wing OF time has flown around
And ended our school days
But, though we part, let us be FOUND
Still true in heart always.
And il overwhelmed by sea and winds
Let us stand true and brave,
II And not be moved in hearts or minds,
But overcome the wave.
n Chorus:
THE class of ninety six, all hail!
For in our lives we must not fail;
II But let our ships DER waters sail
It With gentle winds and not gale"
