MlLLBuRY HIGH SCHOOL,.
Changes Proposed in Order of Gradua-
ton Exercises.


A movement is on foot to change the
order of the graduating exercises of the
Millbury high school, At meeting Of
the class of '9S, held recently, the class
voted to have a speaker for the evening
and also have the valedictorian and
salutatorian of the class present their
essays 1t is understood that Principal
Roache of the high school is in favor of
the movement, and will do all In his
power to help the class in their new I'M
dertakings A member of the class
stated to a Spy reporter Friday that
the reason the class adopted the method
was that it was SO large that it would
be impossible for each member to de-
liver his essay in the time allowed
each speaker. A committee was APP
pointed to call upon the school commit
tee and ask their approval. II is likely
that the request will be granted.
