The program could not be improved
upon. Every part was well taken and
! IN some cases the presentations We're
in advance of anything one would nat
| urally expect from a Grammar school
graduating class. The participants
had been well drilled in every particu-
| lar.
The original parts We're surprising
| ly we'll written and delivered and
| showed that a great amount of thought
and time had been put into the work
to bring it as near perfection as posi-
bic. The music was one of the most
| enjoyable parts of the afternoon The
| pupils had been carefully trained and
as there are many exceptionally fine
| singers in the class the effect was
grand.
The diplomas were awarded the hap
Ply young people by Walter d. Stin-
| son. of the board of directors, who
| thanked the parents and friends for
the interest manifested in the work of
the pupils and asked them to cooper
| ate with the directors and teachers in
| the work of the schools. Mr.. Stinson
| made a few happy remarks to the
| members of the class and then present
| ed the diplomas. AS each graduate
| came forward to receive the long
sought for roll, he or she was greeted
with applause.
A group of students of the Cony
| High school had gathered in the rear
of the hall and after the diplomas had
| been given out, they gave the Cony
yell with a will. concluding with three
time three for the class of 1906" 1t
| is custom which the Cony students
| have followed of welcoming into their
| school the Grammar school graduates.
