voice and her article was most interes ting.
1.-THE Songs of People, was the theme of
an grafton by Charlie w. Sheaff. We fail
ed to receive this but will say that it
showed very careful preparation and was
creditable production. "Uncut Diamonds"
was the subject of an essay by Maude M.
Dutton. Miss Dutton compared a dia-
mond in it's natural state to a person of
genuine worth but unframed and I'M
cultured. These people are unappreciated
because but few realize their real worth
Life should be like diamond and every
day should bring forth new developments,
each one adding to the beauty until we
have a gem of pure and undiminished
lustre. Miss Dutton is an excellent speak
er and her article held the close attention
of the audience. The vaIedictory was de-
livered by Ethel Rand, who thanked the
people for the excellent school advantages
furnished by them, the trustees for their
part in the success of the school. She then
thanked the teachers for their kind help
and guidance through the perpIexing
problems which had confronted them
from time to time. Miss Rand also spoke
on ''The Twentieth Century Girl" hand
ling the subject in manner to make it of
interest to her hearers. This was followed
by music by the orchestra after which the
diplomas were presented the members of
the class by Prof H j. Stannard.

ed by the LyndonviiIe Reds in a ten

day by a score of lilo. 2. A. had the lead
in first part of the game but in the last
part were unable to make hits when they
were needed. NcGof, Thompson and

The Alumni surprised the academy team
last Friday by defeating them POS. b AS
II errors and the inability to hit the ball
accounts for the defeat. Bean '99 c. S.
Webster '96, E. Baldwin 81 and Sutton go
played a good game. Austin's three base
hit in the 18th was one of the features.
This game finishes the most successful
season B A ball team ever had. Eight
games were played, four of them were vic
tories. Two of the defeats were extra
inning games. 1t is hoped that next years
team Will excel the team of 1901.
