APPONAUG

Last evening in the Apponaug school
nall the graduation exercises OF the class
or 1907 were held. Considering the warm
weather, large audience was present
The exercises were very interesting in
deed The largest class in the history
or the school was graduated.
John j. Riley received first honor and
he was valedictorian. Master James
Tonge read the class salutatory. A rather
unusual occurrence took place last even
Ing at these exercises. A recitation en-
titled IL Ecolier' was read in the French
language by Margaret May Duhaine, and
by this recitation she showed that she
has mastered the French language as
well as the English language.
Martina Donnelly was class historian,
and In humorous vein she described
the various battles which the class had
fought during their school days. Arthur
Howard Dolan was class prophet. and II
his prophecies come true. the members
OF the class have a bright future before
them. The address TO the class by the
Rev. William Worthington and the Hon.
Daniel r. Ballou. United States marshal.
were very instructive and interesting.
The principal, Miss Mary Cochrane Rog-
ers, awarded the diplomas TO the gradu-
ates. The teachers of the school are Miss
Mary Cochrane Rogers. principal: Miss
Mary T. Craig, critic teacher; Miss Mer-
tie NJ. Parker. Mary Roche. Catherine
Bransfield. Josephine Mcmahon and
Florence Hopkins.
A petition is i'm circulation through the
AppOnduR ScnOOl ulStrlCt asking tnat the
principal OF the school. Miss Rogers be
given an increase In wages. This petition
will be presented TO the school committee
which meets next Saturday afternoon.
Miss Rogers pay has not been or is not
as near as large as some OF the other
principals in the town. and IL is certainly
proper that she should be given an In
crease. Miss Rogers has been in the
Apponaug school as principal for the past
ten years, and is well worthy of larger
salary.
The high school will hold its gradua-
ton exercises in the school hall tomorrow
evening at o'clock. Ex-Gov. George IA.
Utter will address the graduates. y
strange state OF affairs seems to exist
in relation TO the manner in which the
speaker has been chosen TO address the
pupils at their graduation. The gradu-
ating class voted una nimously 10 nave

decided that he would be the speaker OF

Britt apparently is hitting harder

that department of work. Britt will

that when Britt and Nelson get into

Britt weighs about 1876 or 1877 pounds
