Elisha May Presents Roll of Honor of
Students who Answered Call to Arms.

Friday. Nav 9th. the morning exer-
cises at the Academy were marked by
services appropriate to Memorial day.
After the impressive devotional exercises
conducted by the Rev. George w. {. Hill
of the North Congregational church, the
boys and girls glee clubs united, to form
a chapel choir, rendered patriotic selec-
tions, and led the school chorus in the
more familiar national songs.
At the conclusion of devotions. DR..
Benedict introduced the Hon. Elisha
May. Mr.. May spoke briefly, but
wildly, upon the call to arms, and the
camp and army life which follows He
recalled the part which students of St.
Johnsbury Academy took in the civil
struggle In doing this, Mr.. May
aroused in his hearers the realization of
their vital connection with the history
of their country, and opened to them the
vision of their responsibility for it's
future
The climax of interest was reached
when the speaker presented to the school
the roll of honor, containing the names
of ST. Johnsbury students who served in
the War of the Rebellion.
To THE CLASS OF 1910:
now present you the roll of honor of
the students of ST Johnsbury Academy,
who honorab1y served the Union during
the Civil War. 1S61-1S65 The whole
number was 1857 eighty-six. There were
two ~ Colonies, two (2) lieutenant
colonies. two (2) majors. two ~ sur
geons, eleven {11) captains and twelve
(12) lieutenants. or thirty two (32) COM
missioned officers from this Academy
But this list by no means names all the
best men. Permit me to mention among
the leaders in the world. George H. Ide,
one of the brainiest men | have ever met;
'None knew but to love him."
At this date, May 81, 1910, of the SO
students named, only seventeen 90 are
known to the speaker as living. Most
of them are 70 years old or upwards. 1t
is roll of which we may well be proud.
To the class of 1910, | surrender this
roll of honor; and trust that should the
times demand it, the students OF this
good old school will not be found want
ing. They have never fallen short Of
duty. and they never will. Honor the
country; honor the flag; honor God.
