The usual Class Day crush Of people
yesterday afternoon filed the chapel of
the Spaulding building, overhowed into
the hall and filled every corner, from
which is was possible to hear any part
Of the exercises, while scores OF ladies'
went home because of the impossibility
OF either seeing or hearing. Those who
went early were the only fortunate ones.
The first lady to arrive reached the
chapel one hour and quarter before the
exercises opened. She had her choice.
The high school class OF 1905 has reason
to feel proud OF the programme carried
out. It was bright and interesting, and
the large audience was kept in a ripple
of laughter because of hits and grinds
which are always let loose on Glass
Day.
The room was decorated with fes-
toons and japanese work, while the
stage looked pretty with its tasty ar
rangement Occupying prominent po-
sition was statuette representing 'sMer-
cury,n the presentation of the class to
the school, according to the custom,
that each class shall leave some token
with the school. The graduating class
occupied seats at the front Of the room,
as did the members of the Middle class.

Of the class, delivered the address Of
welcome, after a music number. and
then introduced the various members as
they presented the usual Glass Dav

the futures of her classmates. Mamie
M. Mckenzie, who received Honorable
Mention" for her high school work, de-
livered the class essay on The Art of
Right Living" and her work showed
much thought.

liam Cordiner, who enjoys the unique
distinction Of being the only young man
in the class, with sixteen young ladies',

a reputation as a public reader, followed
