honor, and ffty-nine girls, gradu-
ates of the Newark Normal and
Training School, were awarded their
diplomas at the commencement ex-
e~rcises of the school held in the
auditorium of the Central High
School last night.
Lionel f. Lieschutz. the male stu
dent, was the entire OF attraction
When the diplomas were awarded the
applause he received was more than
that given any of his ffty-nine COM
ranions. When the principal. w.
Spader Willis, received from Miss
jeanette Hoffman, the gift of $50
from the class to the institution he
remarked that n part of the fund, at
least. ought TO be used iHsframing a
picture of Mr.. Liebschutz.
1.-THE Dryad,'' a Peter Pannish fairy
drama, taken from a short story by
Frank r.. Stockton, was given by the
graduates. Simple in setting and in
lines, the little piece emphasized the
~reiuvenating effect of communion
with nature. A piper. the part play
ed, of course, by Mr.. Liebschutz, a
dryad. interpreted by Miss Elizabeth
l.. Cuttriss, and ''Pipes's" mother,
played by Miss Anna e. Heron, were
the chief characters.
Others who were I'm the, cast were
the Misses Jeanette Hoffman,. Ethel
Aa.6.,& nnrnthxr & Mott leo halla
r. Schwarz, Frances e. Warrender.
Gertrude E. Hammell, S. Leah Gold

Isabel c. Holmes and Lena New
mark. There was also a large chorus
of fairies of earth, air, light and
water Miss Helen II. Wolf was the
pianist.
During the interlude Miss Theodore
M. weiner sang three songs from
Shakespeare. A duet, THE Lord Is
My Shepherd" was pleasingly rem
dered by Miss Helen Finney and Miss
Elsie r. Mueller.
In making the gift of the class to
the school, Miss Hoffman explained
that while 1t had been the custom Off
previous classes to give a picture or
some other article of decoration, the
class of 1912 had decided to give
money. in view of the fact that a
new normal school was to be erected
and that to choose some other form
of gift now might result In getting
something which would not harmon
ize with the general decorative
scheme. When the building is COM
pleted the fund will be expended in
some appropriate decoration by which
the class will be remembered.
Both the salutatorian, Miss Isabel
C. Holmes, and the valedictorian, Miss
Elizabeth L. Cuttriss, took for their
themes the central idea of THE
Dryad." Principal Willis presented
the class for graduation. Diplomas
were awarded by Ambrose Tomkins,
Of the Board of Education.
