school Notes.


The closing exercises of the primar,
and intermediate grades passed OFT ver'
pleasantly, Friday afternoon. The larg
upper school room was well filled will
parents and friends who seemed great,
interested in the progress OF the pupils IL
these departments. The perfect render
ing of every number on the program
spoke well for the efficient work of tht
teachers and the earnest efforts OF thu
pupils. Rev. Mr. Mather addressed tht
graduating classes in a few earnest
words OF advice and instruction and pre-
scented the diplomas. The class gradu
ating from the primary into the inter
mediate were Hiram Farnum. Beatrice
Aldrich, Stella Beck, Rachel Brown
Laura Colby and Alice Kidder Those
from the eighth grade into the high
school were Percy Spencer, Ira Symes,
Mary Brown, Almeda Perry, Marguerite
Hoffman, Gertrude Jones and Gertrude
Kidder.
The graduating exercises Friday even
ing at the Congregational church were
very interesting. Although the class
numbered but two they were assisted
by five young ladies from the next class,
who entertained the audience very ac-
ceptably with suitable Rotations finely
rendered. The graduates were Clifton
Wellington Gray and Clarence Milton
Wilmarth, whose original essays were
well delivered. The musical part of the
program was furnished by the Lyndon
vile orchestra and solos by Miss Kent,
Mrs. Morrison and Mr.. May. Rev. Mr..
Mather presented the diplomas with
fitting remarks. A promenade at Grange
hall followed these exercises, lasting till
about midnight, and was attended by
large number. The proceeds amounted
to about $24.
