succeeding classes. The juniors were
on the watch last night and waited pa
tienuy until the seniors had finished
their little token of handiwork, and
when the letters had been labOriuusly
scrubbed from the lofty height, be
lieved that for once the graduating
class had been outwitted.
Yesterday morning the board track
on which more than one class had talk
en- delight in the decorating line was
discovered Respondent with the purple
and white Of the seniors. On the cast
end was the class motto in Indifferent
Greek and letters 80"
On the opposite end was painted a
huge shield in purple and white, bear
ing the inscription Wv. A" and be-
meath in a purple diamond were the
class letters, The work was done care
fully without apparent fear of inter-
TuptiOn, and was an artistic and we'll
finished job that resembled the work of
q professional wielder of the brush.
The artists pursued their work until
the posts on the tennis court and those
surrounding the running track We're
made to resemble veritable barb ~
poles in purple and white. From the
roof of Davis hall foated a long
Streamer in the class Colors, and from

are the seniors" From the roof Of the
dormitory flew a large flag and the

the triumph of the graduating class,
hung out his signal of white for fair
and purple for colder weather.

His grafton follows in

tons duty" His grafton follows in
part:
The Spanish war was not more re-
markable for its brevity than for the
crushing defeat given to tyranny and
oppression. To Spanish colonies 1t
brought the end of years of misrule and
atrocious barbarities; to Spain herself
humiliation and the loss Of colonies
and possessions. But to US as ma
ton it is far more significant, in that
it MARKS a change in our national pol
icy and places our country in rela-
ton tn the nations of the old world
hitherto unrecOgnized.
Up to the time of the Spanish war
The policy of this country had been one
Of seclusion and isolation from the po-
itical affairs Of the old world; but that
war, by the decisive position which we
then took and by the consequent addi-
zion of territory makes it impossible
fo' US to remain longer excluded from
the affairs and interests of other ma
tons. This change Of policy, though
seemingly sudden, was in reality a grad
ual development in the growth of this
ration.
1t is our duty to use our moral in
fiUence toward the gradual extension
Of the rights and liberties Of citizens in
countries where monarchies still exist,
cpG toward the gradual relief of all
heavily and uniustly taxed classes in
whatsoever lands they may be found.
That we are naturally and provi
dentially qualified and equipped thus
to be the champions of liberty and jus
tice in the world, is evident when we
glance at our political and industrial
condition.
What greater honor and glory then,
can we as a nation achieve, and what
greater service can We render to hui
mainly, than TO follow steadfastly and
fearlessly, with the consciousness Of
right, divine assistance and inherent
power, such policy as will eventually
bring freedom and equality TO every
individual on the face of the earth.
Stanley Breed Hall read the history
Of the class, tracing it's course from
the date Of its entrance 20 the academy
through it's various triuinphs in school
affairs and recOunting the prOwess of
its members on the athletic field. He
traced the changes that have been
wrought at the school, the erection of
new buildings and the broadening of
the influence Of Worcester Academy.
The history was brim full Of little
gentle digs at the faculty and was re-
plete with personal illusions.

he said in part;
The Olympic games did much for an

feeling and produced a race of athletes,
But l dare say that the contestants
themselves looked less upon the broad

spired, and more upon the simple
wreath of laurel which, though a small
reward in itself, carried with it the
great glory and the applause of the
multitude.
