School Auditorium Scene of Delightful
 Exercises Last Evening -- Histories
 General in Scope This Year but Some

 tiOns Well Delivered--NIiSs Mail-
 hOuse's Class Poein---CIass Officials.
 In the beautiful auditorium of the high school building in the presence of parents and friends the class of 1906 of the New Haven high school held its class day exercises last evening. The platform upon which were seated the class officers was turned into a. sim pie bower of potted palms. Over 1t floated the flag of the school surmount- ed by the class motto ''Si Monumentum Quaerere, Circumspeci."
 After the class had marched in and taken seats in the center of the audito- rum Wilford Gibbud Munson, president of the class, opened the evenings pro- gramme with welcome to the guests of the class. The class then sang the Song of the Illyrian Peasants" un- der the direction of Prof. Benjamin Jepson, following which two histories were read. The personal element has been largely eliminated from the histor- ies of the present classes so that none of the students are named for roasts; as was formerly the method The his- tories last evening were in large part a review of the general experiences of the class in the school. Some bordered on the personal by inference and these drew laughter of the hearers.
 Clarence R. Rungee delivered the his- tory of the Boardman scientific divi- sion. He was followed by Miss Irene Dunn, representing the Hillhouse academic division.
 A young ladies' chorus rendered the "Festival Song" after which the Boardman oration was delivered by Eugene A. Mcdonald. Ills topic was An Epoch in History" Mfr. Mcdonald reviewed briefly the main events of the outside world which have gone down into history during the four years that the class has spent in high school He deducted from the catastrophe of the period the hopeful signs for the future, Mir. McDonald's voice was strong and distinct and his oration was impressive. The history of the college prepara- tory boys division was read by Miss Ethel Isham This duty had been as- signed to Thomas Means, but as he is one of the eight seniors under discipline Miss Gsham was substituted The his- tory of the girls general annual course by Edna Grace Booth was the next feature on the programme and was fol- lowed by a song by the class entitled SThe Endless Song
 1 The oratlon for the Hlllhouse school was to have been delivered by Edward | 10. Curtis The oration was prepared | by him but substitute had to be se- cured and Miss Margaret Means was Means work was exceedingly credit able as she delivered the entire oration prepared by another without a falter and entirely from memory.
 | Grover A. Bradley brought ringing cheers from the auditorium in his his
 tory of the Boardman general manua' lcourse when he referred to Captain | Torgerson of the strong high base ball
 team as the greatest of high schoo | pitchers.
