the members of the class of 1911. The

informal and the usual addresses
were dispensed with.
A feature of the evening was the
music, embracing selections by the
Telmusci, the School Orchestra and
piano selections by Norris c. Morgan.
To add to this program Frank H. Ma
son. the widely known basso, and the
Windsor Quartette, sang several
songs, and the entire gathering sang
for awhile, led by Mr.. Mason and Mr..

ton of the Wilmington High School
has heard with much pleasure of the
public spirit and generosity of Mr..
and Mrs. Alfred |. DUPONT in sending
to Washington and entertaining there
for two days, the class in civics of the

ing the class an opportunity for close

tions, therefore be it
Resolved, That this association
herewith expresses its thanks for and
appreciation of the laudable action Of

pointed to raise funds for the pur-
pose: H. c. Mahaffy. William O'Keefe
and Charles B. Palmer.
To compile the names Of all the
graduates B. B. Cause. Joseph Fidance
and P. w. Green were appointed a
committee. It is probable that the

had the honor of representing the
class of 1876 last night. Dr. H. G.
Buckmaster. Charles B. Palmer, A. o.
