The class day exercises of the class
OF 1904 of the Waterbury High school
were held this afternoon In the High
school assembly hall. The pretty
and commodious hall was completely
filed with friends and relatives Of the
sixty graduates, who thoroughly en-
joyed the program, which was excel
lent from first TO last. The hall was
prettily decorated with flowers, palms
: and ferns, the class flower, the daisy,
predominating. The class motto,
sVirtus Vincit," occupied prominent
place above the stage.
AS the small hand of the clock
pointed to the hour of three the sweet
strains of an inspiring march were
heard and the members of the class
were seen to enter the hall, marching
two by two, headed by President Will
fred Edwin Booth and the other class
officers. AS the class slowly entered
and took their seats in the front of the
hall they were greeted with much ap-
plause. The address of welcome was
delivered by President Booth in tine
manner. The class history, poem,
prophecy, prophecy on prophecy, and
will were all very interesting and con-
tanned many witty remarks in regard
to members Of the class. The class
presented to the school handsome
statue OF Demosthenes, which cost
500. 1t IS a heroic size statue and
represents the great orator standing
before a multitude. which he is about
ITO address. The statue will be set
up in the school as soon as possible. In
behalf OF the class President Booth
was an able address. The presenta-
ton address Of Miss Mary Healey was
also fine. The exercises in the school
were ended with the singing OF the
beautiful class song. Henry Skilton,
