each member of the class was given q reminder of some incident which happened during the school year, and |a few comments were thrown in by Miss McAndrews just to make the graduates feel little uneasy.
 The girls chorus contributed se- letcion by Veazie entitled Morning Invitation"
 The class will, which is perhaps more enjoyed by the graduates than any other paper, was read by Morti- mer A. O'Hara.
 Max D. Kirjassof had one of the principal numbers on the program, the ivy oration, but he was equal to the occasion and delivered 1t in an excellent manner.
 After the class chorus was heard once more the valedictory was given by Marion WeinBtein. The compost ton of the valedictory showed that much time and thought was given to her subject by Miss Weinstein, and she deserved the applause given her.
 The class song, words and music by Miss Nadie Freedman, was then sung. It is as follows:
 Glass Song. O let us fill the fragrant air
 With mirth and song to day. For noble Virtue. deemed 1t fair
 That she should lead our way. The past with its eternal trace
 We'll to our minds recall And view the Futures hopeful face, Which is before us all.
 CHORUS. To-day with hearts so light and free; We come merry throng. And greetings bring unto thee
 And breathe farewell in song. Thy turing voice 0 Siren Fame
 Shall not come thro' our song. To do the right shall be our aim
 And shun and scorn all wrong. Not for the laurel that must die
 Upon this planet dim. We work: our master ,dwells on high Our wreaths are safe with Him. o Alma Mater. to thy feet,

 The class then marched to the school grounds for the planting of the ivy. President Egan threw in the first shovelful of dirt and each mem Der of the class did likewise. A few of the High school yells were then given as fitting end to the class day exercises.

HE DURAN1 CAsE
Sehsltonh Evidence Brought Forh at
 AttoInsy's Trial

The first day of the hearing of the charges against Attorney H. R. Du- rant was father sensational. The de- position of the detective, James Mur- phy of New York, who was engaged to shadow Edwin U. Lathrop in or der to obtain evidence on which Mrs Lathrop could secure divorce, was one of the main features of dispute between the contending attorneys. The deposition was ruled in.
 Christian Delkescamp whose wife, now dead, was also engaged to shad- ow Mir LathrOp, testified against MT Durant. He said that MT Durant met him in New York and tried to get him to force statement from Mur- phy to the effect that his deposition was false. MT Durant's counsel en- deavored to show that Delkescamp was Murphy'S guest all last winter. They also tried to show by Delkes- camp that Murphy tried to get money from Colonel Burpee, counsel for Mrs Lathrop.
 Sergeants McConville and Jackson O1 Iue NeW IOTk pOllCe IOTCe shlu they knew Murphy to be stool pigeon and a thief. This evidence so excited Attorney Williams, who is conducting the case for the county bar, that he refused to examine the witnesses.
 Court Stenographer Thomas w. Walsh, who took down Mrs Delkes- camps deposition, was asked If Att torney Durant was in the room when she was deposing. Styles Judson. counsel for Mir Durant. had warm interchange of words with Mir Walsh and got him to make the damaging statement that MT Durant was pres ent.
 Attorney John O'Neill testified that Mrs Delkescamp admitted to him that she was engaged in the case by Mir Durant; and also that Murphy in a letter threatened Durant that unless money was forthcoming there would be trouble and that Mir Durant had paid Murphy $170.
