street school were seated on the stage

being particularly pleasing feature oil
the program. Prayer was offered by

amusing experiences of a school boy DUR
ing his earlier years at school; Miss
Myra A. Nolan gave an interesting
sketch of Daniel Boone-An Intrepid
Pioneer" Julia M. Cutting, in a paper
on Birds and the Poets" recalled some
of the many instances in which the sub
ect of birds is so often used by our
poets; "The History of Bobby" by War
rem l.. Peck told of the varied life of a
bobolink which ended in it's tragic death.
Asa A. Randall reviewed the history of
the state in "Eventful Periods in the his
tory of Vermont" Florence B. Ladd

lite writings and selections from the same
were read by Prussia M. Parker and
Lottie J. Menut. statistics and His
tory of the Class of 1901" prepared by
Annie NJ Gibbons and Fred M. Wiley
were read by the latter. The first part
was review of the past few years OF the
graduates from the Summerville school.
Statistics Of the class from the Summer
street school were especially amusing in
that they were different from the ordin-
airy school histories. The Fantastical
Courier" newspaper prepared by Bes-
sic D. Merrill and Florence B. Ladd, and
read by Miss Merrill took the form of
prophecies and was bright and full of
interest. The diplomas were presented
to the graduates by Arthur F. Stone.
This, the first appearance of the class
OF 1901 from the public schools, was a
most creditable one and is pleasing ad-
dltion to the commencement program in
st. Johnsbury.
