events of the year at Freedom Academy oc-
Cured Wednesday evening, Sept. 9th, in the
Freshman reception given by the teachers and
students to the new students, alumni, trustees
and parents. The night was clear and light
and many availed themselves of the full moon
to be present. The grange hall under the
charge of skilful committee had been con-
verted into a cozy room by the use of easy
chairs cushions and art squares. Festoons of
the school colors entwined with clematis went
across the hail. The guests were received by
Principal Linscott and Mrs. Linscott, Rev. J.
B. Parry and Mrs. Parry, Miss Smith, the new
assistant, and by committee representing the
students, consisting of Mr.. johnson and Miss
Almatia Nelson from the Senior class, Mr..

Linscott made brief address of welcome with
his usual cordiality, Miss Dodge rendered
piano solo with ease and grace, and Mr.. Clark
sang "Sleep and Forget" very pleasingly. The
school orchestra furnished music during the
evening. Punch, ice cream and cake were
served, and after the singing of college songs
and the giving of the school yell all departed
with the feeling that the evening was one to
be pleasantly remembered.
