ARBoR DAY. B. II. S. 'OS observed Arbor
Day according to the custom started by the
class of 1901, and carried out by each sue
ceeding class. They were excused from
further school attendance last Friday at
recess and adjourned in body to upper
Waldo avenue, where they selected young
oak tree to perpetuate the name and fame
of b. II. S. '0S. En- route they enjoyed
lunch and had right good time generally.
On their return to the school grounds they
selected site for their tree just south of
the band stand on the upper common, where
they planted it. Sam Portion, the class ora
tor, gave an excellent speech, and the tree
was named the Dunton Oak, in honor of
Miss Florence E. Dunton, assistant in the
High school. Glass yells were a feature of
the occasion, and each member Of the class
put in spade full of earth. The tree was
decorated with the class colors and attract
ed much attention from the passers-by.
That night a gang of boys, old enough to
know better, attempted to destroy the tree
by Saturating the streamerS with which it
was adorned with Kerosene oil and setting
them on fire. When detected by two ladies
they were very impudent, and concluded
their performance by hanging the kerosene
can in the top of the tree.
