HIGH SCHOOL
An Address Before the
Pupils Tuesday Afternoon
Guests Were Present.

An address teeming with the spirit
of adventure and bravery was deliv-
cred before the pupils of the high
school Tuesday afternoon at the ex-|
ercises in observance of Memorial
day, by Colonel Sill, of Newark, who
Tuesday night addressed a large u
dience in New York. Col. Sill read
his address at the high school, it be-
ing the same one given before the
Newark high school pupils a year
ago.
Straight and why, despite the
years which have whitened his hair
and moustache, Col. Sill is a typical
soldier in mien and bearing. His ad-
dress was one of exploit and adVen-
ture in the civil wal during which he
served in the northern army. lie
went through more thrilling escapes
and captures, coming out unmaimed'
than fell to the lot of o men In
that civil conflict. He tells of his ex-
periences in a natural, plquant way
which draws the interest OF his hear
ers and holds it to the end. He was
frequently interrupted by applause,
and, at the conclusion of his address,
the applause was of long duration.
A patriotic touch was lent by a
silken national flag which draped the
front of the reading desk behind
which Col. Sill stood.
The pupils sans the Soldiers Cho-
rus at the opening of the exercises,
and the Star Spangled Banner at the
close, being accompanied with piano
and violin. The Star Spangled Ban
ner was sung standing.
IA number of the members of Ma
ior Dandy Post, G. A. r., were pres
ent, as well as a few of the city Off
cials. The pupils of the eighth
grade classes were present by invi-
tation.
Col. Sill, who was introduced by
Miss M. e. Vaughan, of the faculty,
was a friend of the Japanese Field
Marshal Oyama, when the latter was
receiving his education as a young
man in the western part of New York
state.
Exercises Elsewhere.
Exercises of a patriotic sort were
held in all the schools of the city
Tuesday afternoon in commemora-
ton of Memorial day, which was, of
course, a holiday from school. The
exercises included singing, speaking,
reading and other features.
