HIGH SCHOOL NOTES

Last Friday morning, the High school had exercises appropriate for Memorial day, To the orchestra, the school marched into the hall after the eight or nine veterans had taken their places on the platform. After the school had sung the "Star Spang- led Bsnnet,n there followed recita- tion, "Lincoln, by Muriel BaekuS, a song oy the Eighth Grade, speeches by some of the old soldiers and SC. lection by the Girls Glee club. One number which was greatly appreciat- ed by the school was a war song sung by one of the veterans. The exercises closed with "Americs," and the school marched out. After the exer- cises were over, several pupils eX. pressed to the veterans their deep ap- preeiation of their presence with them and of the interesting stories and songs they had heard.
 Putnam High had an oil week in baseball and as a result dropped two games to visiting hines. The first with Paseoag was thrown away in the ninth inning when Putnam had a two run lead. But errors, stolen bases, a few hits, and foolish judgment put the iinx on the game so far as the To- cal boys were concerned and the vic tory went to Pascoag 6 1.
 Memorial day in the morning Put nam lost to the Alumni team with Bill Blackmore on the mound for the "has oeens," and H. Nelson behind the bat. The,faet that Bills brother pitched for thea local school boys and that H. Nelson's brother caught for them gave interest to the contest. As in the Psscoag game it was ninth inning blowout that tsent F. H. S. down to defeat. Next Monday a league game is scheduled. r. H.,S. vs. Web ster.

 IN YEARS
All Entertainments We'll paironired

One of the best parades and obser- vances of Memorial day for number of years was that of Monday, The program was carried out to the letter and on time. The veterans had one of the seasons best days weatherwise, and large crowds attended the exer- cises.
 After the paradesreturned from the Catholic cemetery the ladies served the participants an excellent lunch.
 The line left promptly'again in the afternoon for Grove street, cemetery where John Houlton of the Soldiers' Home at Bristol, Rhode Island, de. livered an address that will remain long in the memory of those sofortunate as to hear this able speaker. A stop was made at the Soldiers monument which was decorated ,on behalf of the un- known dead.
 Nol.for years al least have so many great Soldiers Memorial day. The streets were full of people early and automobiles were darting in and out and II is pleasing to note that not an accident happened. It was not so pleasant to note the number of intoxi- cated persons upon the streets. There was no noise or trouble from this source however is the police closely guarded the welfare of the citizens and put objectionable characters of the street. Five arrests were made during the afternoon and evening.
 The circus was big attraction and crowds filled the tent both afternoon and evening. The trolley cars carried large crowds to Wildwood park in the afternoon and evening and the theatres did n good business. Both base ball games were well patronized. The fact that every feature Of the day had a large following of supporters denotes the number that was in the city for the day.
