Mr.. Fishers welcome address was
humorous almost throughout and put
the audience in a proper frame of
mind for what was to follow. The
class poem by Miss Hirsch was most
excellent. while Miss Berry entertain
ingly told the audience about some
OF the things of interest she saw
while abroad last summer. The class
history by Miss Inbach was very we'll
written. Mr.. Price made one OF the
hits of the evening in his bestowal OF
class gifts, the other, in popular
judgement being the reading of the
class viii by Mr. Mason. In his class
prophecy Mr.. Fisher was quite at his
best. Indeed all did admirably and
were literally applauded.
The musical features were no LEGS
enjoyable. The violin solo by Miss
Kimmell was excellent, as was the
piano duet by Misses Horsfall and
