FUTURE PLANS.
Not all of the members of the class
of 1905 have definite plans for en-
] plovment of their further educational
work, but many of them have already
made plans for some time TO come.
Fourteen of the twenty six students
to complete the course are to contin-
ne their studies at various institutions
of learning in this and other states.
OF these, three, Misses Margaret
Griffin, Bertha Merrill and Gail Tag
CART, go to Wellesley College, and
three. Robert Wildes, William CLIFFORD
and Miss Miretta Bickford, are to
enter the Univ rsity OF Maine.
Elmer Nolin goes to Bowdoin College
and Reginal Foss will enter Colby,
while Alfred Morrill, will go TO the
University of California, at Berkley
in that state, being doubtless the hrst
from the Skowhegan High School and
possibly from Maine, to be enrolled
among its students. Miss Florence
Philbrick has decided upon Simmons
College, Boston, as the place TO con
tinue her studies and Miss Mildred
Weston will go tothe Conservatory
of Music in the same city. MISS
Fancher Sawyer is to attend Laselie
Seminary and Miss Ethlyn Steward,
Weaton Seminary, the first at Au'
burndale and the latter at Norton

busy with plans, some for employ
. ment and others for continuing thei
studies, either next fall or at some
, date thereafter.
