The Concord Grammar School was es-
tablished 81 years ago at Concord Corner,
the first grammar school in the United
States. Several years ago the school
and land rents were transferred to West
Concord. and the Concord Grammar
School installed within the walls of the
Judevine Memorial Building, the mag
nihcent gift OF our townsman, the late
Hon. Alden Judevine. 1t was intended
to present the school with a steel engrav-
ing OF the benefactor, at the commence
ment exercises, but through some delay
the portrait did not reach here on time.
The class of 'O4 is the first class to for
mally graduate from the school in the 81
years of its existence, and we trust that
the custom established this year will be
carried out each year and prove to be an
incentive, squirting the scholars on to
higher and nobler endeavors.
