Exercises of the class of 1915 were
held Wednesday evening, at the high
school auditorium. At 1880 the class
tree was planted in front Of the build
ing. The ivy that was planted last
year shows signs of life now, although
it was thought that the attempt was
failure. 1t is hoped that the Tree
| will grow to be a mammoth and will
produce shade enough to comfort many.
If it is a true representation OF the
class, it surely will.
After the planting of the tree, the
Seniors marched into the auditorium,
where they were seated on the plat
form. With their caps and gowns,
they made a very neat appearance.
This is a new idea in Little Falls high
school life and certainly is worthy
| one and a custom to develop. The
class Of 1914 developed, as a memorial
to the school class day, and 1915 left
| a memorial in starting new custom
in the cap and gown idea.
Irene Monahan played the class
march.
The first number Of the program was
a piano solo by Tessie Dalton, which
was done in a pleasing and skillful
manner.
The salutatory, given by Estyre
Sundstrom, was enjoyed b." everyone,
for Miss Sundstrom has an excellent
delivery and was heard all over tho
| room.
The class history was interesting in
deed-even to members of the class,
although they seemed to be bit un-
easy while it was being read. It was
agreed that the history Of the class
during the past year was the most in
teresting of ALTO the Seniors, at
least. The credit was gi given the ex-
cellent corps of teachers selected by
Mr.. Dobbyn and regret was expressed
| throughout the program at having to
leave at this time. This was given by
Constance Stillwell.
The history of the class spade can
be described in short, for it is only two
years old. Last year the class pre-
sented it to Joe Tomelty to be pre-
served through thick and thin and this
year Richard Meyers presented it to
Mabel Kjelshus, president of the class
of 1916, with the usual warning to pro-
tect and to be passed to succeeding
! classes.
A piano solo by Elvira Ruth was
! pleasant change in the program and
was followed by the reading of the
class prophecy. According to Dorothy
Detloff's version the Seniors have a
very eventful future before them. The
class will which was left to be deliv-
cred to the class of '16 by Genevieve
O'Neil surely had a few considerate
clauses, although some of the Juniors
objected to having some things :said
about them. -. >-, q
| A beautiful library table was next
presented to the school as a memorial.
| This was carried up to the platform
by Ovid Belanger and Otto Lauerman.
Joe Tomelty presented it in delight
full way, for the class and T. G. Cor
don accepted it for the board Of edu;a-
tion..
| The class song was next rendered
and after this the valedictory was
given by Gertrude Lyon. The valedic-
tory was we'll prepared, for at least
it was certainly well given. Miss Lyon
showed what the class had stood for
and how sad they were when they said
"goodbye.' The class remained
standing during this last talk by Miss
Lyon. This was the last number of
the program.
The enrolment at this time was
stated by Mr.. Gordon as being 347 in
all, with all signs of larger enroll
ment for next year.
