Lawrence commencement exercises
were held last week and were up to the
high standard that Lawrence school has
always maintained. Both the pupils
and teachers of each department are to
be commended on the success of their eff
forts. The primary and intermediate
promotion exercises were held last Fri
day at the school house and the eighth
grade in the evening. Every number of
their program was worthy of especial
mention. From start to finish the ex-
ercises were excellent. The baccalaur-
cate address by Rev. Stearns, Sunday
evening, to the high school class was
one of the best ever given in Lawrence.
The exercises by the class Monday even
ing were given to a crowded house, many
being obliged to go away, as the room
was too crowded for the entrance of an
other person. Every number on the
program was rendered in pleasing style
and did credit to the graduates. The
motto, THUS Endeth the First Chapter"
was prettily arranged in the class colors,
pink and green, at the front of the stage
which was also decorated in pink and
green bunting. The lecture by Mr..
Grant Fellows of Hudson was an able
address. His delivery was pleasing and
each sentence contained some thought
which inspired his hearers to something
higher
