chosen and timely remarks in which
he complimented the class Of 1900 on
their years work, and intimated
that he would give them ample OPP
portunity during the course Of the
evening to prove to the guests that
the members Of their class were SUI

conception OF wit and humor, then
| introduced the speakers and called
| for their tOasts.
Arthur Lord toasted the guests Of
the evening, and extended to all q
hearty greeting and welcome. The
presence Of so many Of our respected
! citizens showed active interest in the
literary society and in the work done
in the high school and spurrcd on
those who had yet several years OF
schooling before them to do their
best to merit the approval of the
citizens and all the friends who took
! such al active interest in the develop
mcut OF the thful mind. Mr..
Lord complimented the juniors and
sophomores, who constitute a large
part OF the literary society, for the
good entertainment provided for the
evening and also paid a tribute to
the freshmen, and last but not least,
to the board of education for help
and advice given during the course
of the year.
Roy Robinson in his toast to the
seniors, complimented them on the
excellent work done during the year
and prophesied glowing futures as a
recompense for the hard and con.
scientious labor of the members of the
graduating class, who always con
sidered duty before pleasure, and
who, although enjoying recreation
and fun as we'll as others, never per-
mitted their pastimes and pleasures
to interfere with their work. AL
though the literary society and high
school in general would keenly fee
the loss OF the class Of 1900, who were
always ready to promote its inter
Iests, those left behind wished the de-
parting ones only the best of success
as they went out into the world.
The seniors then gave their class
song, a parody on "I'se Going tc
Leave dis Mean Old Town" the
words of which were written by
members OF the class.
Miss George Cornwell responded
to the toast on the class of 1900

would never forget their. old as

their appreciation of all the kindness
