: The program ended with an Grafton or
"The development and power of Amer.
lean caricature" with valedictory, by
William H. Bovnton. Caricature flour.
ished as long ago as the Egyptian relics
: but it remained for America to bring car
feature to the level with satire. Frank
lin was the first American caricaturist
but Thomas Nastis our greatest. Others
are Arthur Burdett Frost, Joseph KEEP
pier. and E. w. Kemble. That the polit-
ical influence of caricature is mighty has
been proven in presidential elections.
The grafton closed with the customary
farewells to teachers, trustees, under
graduates and classmates.
Led by the marshalls the class marched
to the front of the stage, twenty-five in
number, and received diplomas at the
hands of the principal, c. P. Rowland,
who addressed them briefly, carrying out
the same line of thought as Rev. F. A.
Poole used in the baccalaureate sermon.
Mr.. Rowland referred to the baccalaur-
cate as one of the best he ever heard.
The benediction was pronounced by
Rev E. T. Fairbanks, D. d., and grad
uation of the class of 1909 ended with
the class yell:
STACK!
Rah-Rah-Rah!
TIGER!
Hola ba loo-ray-ray!
Hola ba loo-ray ray!
HoO-ray! Hoo-rayl
