Mayor Strange made a few appro-
pirate remarks in which he said it
gave him pleasure to present the di-
plomas to this graduating class of
1910 of the Annapolis High School.
He knew that all had worked hard to
obtain the diplomas and that each had
won it deservedly. He complimented
the citizens and taxpayers of Annapo-
lis upon such a fine school building
and one so well ventilated. He said
the Green street school that stood on
the lot where the residence of one of
the trustees now stands, had but one
room and one teacher, and he as a boy
attended this school, which in no wise
compared to the handsomely equipped
school buildings the boys and girls of
today have. He said all citizens
should feel proud of their school and
the efficient corps of teachers.
In addressing the graduates person.
ally he told them of the responsible
ties that they could encounter in life.
Some he said may seek higher educa-
tion but whatever path you choose to
enter upon he said do so with high
aspirations exalted ambitions and
noble ideals. He referred to the sad
ness of this occasion when the gradu-
ates were taking leave of school days
and school friends to face the stern
realities of life. He said it was the
largest class that had ever graduated
from the Annapolis High School, and
all should be very proud of it. He
referred to the part the boy graduates
and other bcys in the school had taken
in athletics, and of the victories they
had won at Tome Institute at the in
ter-scholastic field and track meet,
and with other high schools and col
leges in the past four years.
In presenting the diplomas il was
announced by the principal, Prof.
Pfeitfer, that IN the Academic De-
partment Miss McKinsey took the first
honors, and Miss Ruth Feldmeyer,
the second honors, and in the Com
mercial Department Miss Helen
Childs took the first honors, and Miss
Naomi Duvall second honors.
Mr.. William Morris Feldmeyer sang
beautiful baritone solo entitled
Song of Hybrias the Cretan. " 1t was
we'll rendered in Mr.. Fedmeyer's good
voice.
