Glass Day Yesterday.
The class day exercises of the
1914 class we're held yesterday af-
ternoon at 2:15 O'Clock in Proctor's s
theatre. From 1 o'clock, huge
crowds of the classmates, parents
and friends of the graduates began
to assemble, and by the time set for
the raising of the curtain the theatre
was crowded. The class day play
had excited much curiosity for some
weeks preceding class day and a
thrill of delightful anticipation
moved over the audience when the
curtain was finally raised, and the
throngs of gaily-clad seniors danced
in amid the applause of friends.
The play was original, as were all
the songs, including both words and
music. The settings and the con-
ception of the entire play were ex-
tremely artistic and proved that
much time and thought had been ex-
pended upon the production
The title of the play was The
Realm of Knowledge" and was in
three acts. The curtain rose upon
the temple of Minerva, goddess of
Wisdom, disclosing the maidens who
formed the body-guard OF the god
dess dancing in, garbed in classic
oiocluH CoobuIuei Win BdTldHuS Oh
crimson ramblers, the class flower.
Minerva enters at the close of the
dance and takes her place upon a
throne while her maidens dance be-
fore her Hermes enters and dis
closes to Minerva her mission to the
Hall OF knowledge in Perth Amboy,
whereupon Minerva makes haste to
begin her duties. Scene two portrays
the 1914 class of the high school
