The Class History, Prophecy, and
MementOes All Were Attractive
Features Of the Occasion.

The class of 1907 of the high
in the auditorium yesterday after
noon. AS early as 2:30 o'clock the
people began to move toward the
high school and half an hour later
every seat in the auditorium had been
taken and scores of people were
standing in the rear of the room.
The auditorium was tastefully
decorated with the class colors, green
and white. The rear of the platform
was trimmed with honeysuckle vines
on a white background. Small green
flags with the class numerals in white
were placed on the wall behind the
platform, and above the platform was
hung the class motto, Labor Omnia
Vincit," in gold letters.
Promptly at $3.50 the members of
the class entered, singing. They were
led by Jack Klein and Miss Bessie
Pullen, the president and vice presi-
dent of the class. They were follow
ed by Miss Edith H. Crowell, secre-
tary, and Miss Carolyn N. Robins,
treasurer of the class. The members
of the class then took their seats on
the platform. .
The program which followed was
one of the best class day programs
which has ever been given in this
city The class possesses remarkable
individual talent, which made the af-
ternoon very entertaining.
In a short and eloquent address
Jack M. Klein, the president of the
class, welcomed the guests and gave
hearty greeting to all who were in

5 BILLS ADDED
TO VETO LIST.
Governor Decides to Give His
Veto Messages 10 the
Press Now.
CRONTHER BILL ONE OPPOSED.

TRENTON, June 14:-Governor
Stokes announced last night that in
view of the fact that when the legis-
lature convenes for its post-recess ses-
sion next Tuesday there will prob
ably be large demands upon the col
umns of the newspapers in the form
of messages and reports, he has de-
cided in the interests of publicity, to
issue the vetoes of measures passed
by the recent legislature from now
until Tuesday in installments. The
governor has disapproved about fifty
bills of more or less importance.
Under the resolution which author
lied the recess the purpose of the
legislature in reconvening is to pas
upon the iblls vetoed by the COVER
| nor. Governor Stokes has sent, al
fgar as possible, copy of the vett
to the introducer of the bill.
The governor made his first of
fetal announcement of fifty vetoe'
| last night.
Among them is Assemblyman Klen
erts bill, No. 255, empowering Pater
son to establish and maintain plan
| for the treatment, disposal or render
ing of sewage. 1t was vetoed will
the following comment. This bill
was known as the companion bill t.
the trunk sewer bill and is part o
the agreement made between Pater
son and Newark on this subject. Th'
bill, however, was so amended as t.
render it useless for the purposes o
the city of Paterson, for which it wa
drawn. AS the measure, therefore
serves no purpose, it is not wort
while to add it to the statute laws o
the state"
; Another veto announced last nigh
was Senator Hutchinson's bill, M
; 144, which was companion bill
the Mercer county soldiers and sal
; ors' monument measure, which wa
defeated at the session on account
its unconstitutionality. With refe
