Ex-Governor Stokes never has mar

Ex-Governor Stokes never has mar
ried, and many say that his love for
his mother has been the reason.
The former Governor is widely
known, not only in New Jersey, but
elsewhere as well, and had the last
Legislature been Republican on joint
ballot he undoubtedly would have been
the successor to United States Senator
John Kean. He entered the primary
election and won the popular choice
of his party for the position, but there
was Democratic majority and James
E. MARITIME was elected.
Mrs. Stokes was proud of her son
and was greatly interested in his bril-
liant career as an orator and states
man.

Presentations were made to the
members of the seniors by Miss Ada
Frazeur and Earl Brenn. The gifts
were generous and very humorous,
and as each one received their token
| there was laughter.
A very special feature Of the pro-
gram was the reading of the class
poem by Miss Carolyn Smalley. The
original verse was exceptionally we'll
done, and its rendition was exceeding
ly clever.
A little surprise followed. Without
warning, from far back in the dark
| recesses of the high gallery, came
slowly floating down to the stage front
a miniature air ship, the propellors
| were whizzing merily and the planes
were set. Attached to the biplane was
beautiful, large bunch of roses.
Miss Mary Sharp, of the Juniors,
took the flowers from the airship, and
in an address yelled with delicate sar-
| easm, she presented the flowers and
compliments of the Juniors to the Sen
| iors, and rendered some advice for the
| future.
The High School Oracle was an in
teresting and novel feature. Miss
Edith Krauter appeared as the Priest
ess, seated upon throne, in sepul-
chral tones she answered the ques-
tions of Charles Kern, the latter
| seemed exceedingly anxious to know
all about the future of the members
of the class, and the Priestess seemed
to have inside Information which she
readily gave to the amusement of the
audience and the confusion of the
members of the class.
the class will and there were some
very strange bequests, all of which had
personal application.
The second part of the program was
the presentation of the comedy, "Tom-
my's Wife, story that was happily
told in four acts.
The scene of the playlet is laid in
New York City, and the time five yeais

Class Of 1911 Bridgeton High
School Entertain with
Fine Program.
THEATRE
WAS CROWDED
There Were Many Features in the
Class Day Program that Were
Original and Novel and
Greatly Enjoyed.

as that of High School Glass 1911.
The program was original and novel
and every one of it's many features
were delightfully."- entertaining, and
many were the complete surprises that
came to the attention of the audience.
The night was far from auspicious,
the rain pouring down as the people
gathered at the theatre, but the house
was crowded with fortunate holders of
tickets. All weather conditions were
forgotten, however, with the pretty
picture presented within.
The stage was ablaze with light and
profusely decorated with the class
colors of purple and gold.
The large class of 1911 was gath
cred upon the stage, the rising cur
tain revealing the inspiring picture
after the opening of the overture by
the orchestra.
President Lea Hitchner made the
expressions of greeting in an exceed
ingly we'll chosen speech, and the
class song, to the tune of Under
Southern Skies" was rendered, the
song being an original conception of
Edward R. Loveland, 1911, and was
captioned Farewell Song. 1t follows:
We've studied in the years gone by,
In this our fav'Iite school;
We've found in it a pleasure,
We have tried to keep the rule
Bridgeton High School work is done,
The course we hold so dear;
The end of it is almost run,
The time is drawing near.
We've had some very pleasant times
In Bridgeton High, We'll own;
And when we had the trying times,
Our fate we would bemoan.
But now the time, at last, has come,
When we from High School go;
And so we join in gladstone tune.
A farewell soft and low.
CuOTuS-
You've heard us as we're singing
The songs we love the best,
With our laugh and jest
And now before we part
And stray or hill and dell
Well bid our dear old Bridgeton High,
A last and fond farewell.
Nineteen-'leven, the largest class,
And brightest, all agree,
That ever from these walls did pass,
Or ever will, you'll see.
Now do not think that we are vain,
For all we say is right.
We've labored hard for what we've
gained
From morn till late at night.
So teachers of our faculty, schoolmates
And every friend
And each one of our own dear class
A fond goodnight, we send:
And when school days are Spast and
gone
Though years should make us old
Well all remember B. H. S.
And colors, purple-gold.
Immediately President Hitchner an
nounced "a Parrot Song" ard the
happy Juniors, all seated upon the
first rows in the orchestra chairs
broke out with their song, "The 1912
War Cry. The song ran this way:
We've watched you in the years gone
by,
In all your favorite stunts,
How you thought you lowered DER us,
AS so swiftly rolled the months.
This foolish triumph now must cease.
You ran it to the limit,
Your high ideas have come to nought,
The brave must now be timid,
At all times you were silly, and
You never knew, of course,
How we small, clear-headed Juniors
Have laughed ourselves quite hoarse.
But now the time at last has come,

When face the world you must;
A caution then we give to you,
So follow it or bust.

them came another four and behind these
still another.
Down near the further end by the door
