THE CLASS DAY
EXERCISES
of the Warren High were Highly
Interesting and Successful.

An interesting feature in connect
ing with the closing of the Warren
schools was the class day exercises on
Monday evening. A large audience
had assembled in the opera house, to
listen to the exercises.
First came music by the Warren
orchestra. after which Laura Grace
Moulton, explained the significance
of the class motto, INNER Hoher,
which translated into english means,
Ever Higher.
We all have our ambitions, said
Miss Moulton. which when not
carried to excess are beneficial to
ourselves and to others. They help
us in doing the things we ought to
do and also the things that can be
done,. Our ambitions do not fit us
all for the same kind of work. One
wishes to be a statesman, another an
inventor, another will discover
something in science, but all will
attempt to attain what has not been
attained before. To rise always
higher and in that way. contribute
something to the grand total Of
human schievement is praiseworthy.
Miss Moulton acquitted herself well.
The class history was told in a
pleasing manner by Miss Cora Head,
who traced the principal events,
amusing Incidents and breadth
escapes the class had been subject to
during the entire high school career.
The names of the different class
officers, the spreads they had enjoy
ed. their feuds with tine other
classes, how they had placed their
flag on the court house cupola, their
burning of Caesar, and many other
incidents that had enlivened their
high school course, we're given by
Miss Head in her we'll gotten up
history of the class. ...,.- 60. p
The high school chorus rendered
the song ''Stars and Stripes For
ever'' by Sousa, after which Miss
Grace Lillian Lewis gave a fine de-
scription of Longfellow's Hiawatha.
reciting long passages from the poem
without missing line or break OF
any kind, which feat proved that she
possesses an excellent memory, be-
sides being an admirer of Americas
leading poet.
The address to the Juniors was
given by Miss Helen Louise Carlton.
She recalled the pleasant Time they
had had together as school mates
during their high school course.
"We feel,' she said, THAT we are
leaving those who have become very
dear to us, for you have been truly
good school mates, and we hope that
we have appreciated you as such.
We sincerely hope that you will
be as successful in your class
affairs as we have been and that you
may work as whole and have no
strife among the individual members
of the Glass; She closed by wishing
the class of 1908 success in all their
undertakings and in words of tender
ness bade them farewell.
The response from the Juniors was
given gracefully and in pleasing
voice by Miss Bessie Chatfee. "As
Napolion longed for worlds anew to
conquer, she said. $50 do we hope
for laurels that will outshine
yours ut will remain for you to
see whether we carry the standard
higher than the class of 1907 has
borne it, She closed by wishing
the members Of the graduating class
success in all their undertakings.
A After piano solo by Miss A bra

livered a thoughtful and we'll written
essay on "Ihe American Hon "
She told Of the Importance of the
home as factor in our civilization,
AMI the necessity to protect it from
all harm. The change in home con-
di5ions by industrialism and the
tendency OF women to turn away
from home life to engage in indus
trial pursuits, was considered.
Efforts to make the home more at.
tractive to women should be en-.
couraged. The teaching of domestic
science in the schools was an effort
in the right direction and will
ultimately benefit the homes of the
land.
''Industrial Education" was the
subject of an oration by Carl Outc
Bystrom. 1t was a scholarly effort
and we'll delivered. Mr.. Bystrom
