 The class day exercises of the Board- man Manual Training school were held in the New Haven high school auditori- um on York Square last evening. The affair was very largely attended and was one of the most successful ones ever given in this city. The hall was handsomely decorated with class flags. potted plants and flowers. Hanging from the ceiling in large letters of green moss was the class motto 'Perge Modo" and under this ''1903." The exercises
 opened with an address by the class president, Storey Baker Howard. He gave a brief history of the class and
 what its members had accomplished
 during the time they have been in the
 school. At the conclusion of his re-
 marks he was loudly apDlauded. The class then sang Over the Meadows
 Fair" Class histories were then read
 by John Rogers Sheldon and Nellie Au-
 gustine Hall. The class then sang
 June Time!" Histories were then
 given by Clarence Rollin Newton and
 Eunice Ruth Augur. A mandolin solo
 followed played by William Francis
 Heaney. Alton E. Wells and Esther
 Louise Austin then told the personal
 histories of part of the class. Emma
 Sylva Sarvie then rendered solo. She
 also gave a partial history of the class.
 She has a beautiful voice, and her sing
 ing was greatly appreciated, as was the
 witty remarks she made in her his
 torical review. The feature of the even-
 ing was the oration which then follow
 ed. It was delivered by Robert Horace
 Andrews and was one of the best high
 school orations which has ever been de-
 livered in this city. He spoke in clear
 resonant voice and Eis remarks were
 clearly heard in ali parts of the hall. He
 spoke on Immigration and Its lnt1u-
 ences on the United States" treating
 his subject in a masterly manner. A
 very bright class poem was then read
 by Bertha Elizabeth Sherman. The
 song They Bore the Flag" was then
 sung by the class. Histories were then
 read by Ashley Merwin Andrews and
 Emma Sylvia Garvie. The exercises
 then concluded with the class song. At the finish of the exercises the school
 cheer was given, with 1908" on the end of it. The class histories were excellent and reflected great credit on the au- thors. The class poem was excep- tionally good, as was every number on the programme. Some of the members
