WOODSTOCK
 Public rhetoricals have come to be very much like a family anniversary to W oodstock people and each year as new participants in the exercises are on the program the interest of person. al friends of the speakers, combined with the loyalty of the old friends of the Academy, brings hall full of Peo- pie together. This year the weather and travelling conditions were unusual Iy favorable. A new carpet and taste ful laurel banking made the stage es- pecially attractive. The trustees were represented upon the platform by their secretary, Henry T. Child. Good mu- sic was furnished by Morse's orchestra and the chorus singing by the school under direction of Mrs. F. F. Rock kwell elicited applaRse. A solo by Miss Ida Sralding in connection with the girls chorus was very sweetly rendered. It was touchingly fitting that the selee- tion, The Skylark, by Burton K. Leav- itt, and which had been previously sung at pubic rhetoricals under Mir. Leavittis direction, should be rendered In Memoriam. The recitations ana declamations were delivered lin man. ner to reflect much credit upon speak CTS and instructor. The senior class honor essay was awarded to Edmund Anderson.
