Wednesday was graduation day. The
weather was fine, and all the exercises
of the day were attended by large num-
bers of people. Heretofore it has been
the practice to give all the members Of
the class a place on the programme,
though large. portion Of them were ex-
cused from delivering their parts. This
year, however, the programme contained
only those numbers which were actually
given.
The programme was given in two
parts, the essays at 10 A. NJ, and the
class parts at 8 Pm. The church was
simply decorated, and over the platform
appeared the class motto In green,
"Remigare non fuitare." The music
was by Gifford's Orchestra Of Lewiston.
