Twenty Sixth Annual Exercises of the
Lambertvine High School.

On Wednesday evening of last week
the Glass of 1909 was graduated from
the Lambertville High School. 1t
was composed of seven members, all
residents of this city, viz; Horace w.
Hoagland first honor, Louise G. Akers
Second honor, Mary S. Burd, Gather
inc c. McAuliffe, Harry S. Petrie,
George H. Price and Albert II. Regain.
The exercises were held in lIol-
eombe Hall, and considering the or
binary appearance of the room, it look
ed well. Garnet and gold bunting
was tastefully arranged above the
platform, with 1902, Advance" in the
centre. Daisies, yellow lilies and
other flowers, were massed at the
sides and front of the stage.
Besides the class and chorus, on the
stage were Principal A. p. Kerr,
Mayor Sergeant, President Joiner of
the School Board, and Co. Supt. ]. s.
Hoffman.
Notwithstanding the night WAS rain
y, good sized audience was present.
Davis Orchestra furnished the music
and their numbers were we'll rendered
The singing of the chorus was fair,
although it was smaller than usual.
The essays were all we'll written and
gave evidence of being the result of
training and study. The one "The
Poets" by Miss Akers, proved that
characteristic of all poets has been a
love for nature, and the entire essay
was written in very pleasing style.
Miss McAuliffe's "Evangeline" was
appreciated by all the lovers of that
beautiful poem, and Albert Regan's
Life in Colonial Days" showed much
research in its composition.
The story or history of "Roast Pig"
by George Price, was amusing and
we'll delivered
The humor and pathos of Miss
Burd's recitation were we'll brought
out as she told of the experience with
the travelled Parson.
The address on Education" given
by Harry Petrie, lost none of Its value
in the delivery.
HoraceW lloag laud's essay on "John
Ruskin, was n splendid composition.
1t showed in comprehensive way,
Ruskin's ideals aud ambitions, and
