We're chosen committee to make the
necessary arrangements. The class this
year is far above the average number,
and on this account it was decided that
only eight members will take an import
ant part. The participants will be chosen
by Mr.. Morse on their standing in
md oil til
writing and speaking. The salutatorian
and Valedictorian will be determined by
their scholarship principally, but the
others will have a careful recognition |
also Of their rights.
All of the class will be expected to |
write essays, and they will be selected |
at once, and must meet the approval of |
Superintendent Morse not later than
March 25. Mr.. Morse recommended that |
departments Of interesting subjects be |
written upon. The rough draft of the |
compositions must contain at least 1900 |
words, and must be submitted for Mr.. |
Morse's approval not later than May ]. |
When the essays are completed they |
must contain about 1900 words, and must |
be ready on or before May Is. Mr.. |
Morse's calculation is that the reading
Of each essay will mot take longer than |
ten minutes.
On the 18th day Of May the eight that
will take prominent parts will be |
chosen. The essays will be delivered |
without manuscript, and the eight stu
dents that are best qualified for the |
event will be the ones that will deliver |
the honors of graduating class Of '9S of |
the Webster high school.
