Spaulding school seniors and the
undergrsduA, 5oody carried out the GUS
tomary class day exercises of commence
ment week at the opera house Thursday
afternoon before an audience that made
use of every available seat in the audi
torium and gallery. Then there were
those who thought it thoroughly worth
while to stay and stand. after the last
tier of seats had been occupied Class
day, with its spectacle of many students
assembled has come TO be one of the
finest features of the June graduating at
Spaulding and yesterdays program pre-
served the best traditions of the yearly
event.
Entirely novel, but pleasing to the eve
were the stage decorations. The class
eolors, purple and gold, were used with
charming effect in providing a panelled
background for the exercises. Over the
center panel was the Spaulding shield
and across the procenium was suspended
the class motto ITO thine own self be
true" in letters of gold and purple.
At 2:30 o'clock the student body, mar
shaled by Edmund Loranger, marched
from Main street to seats reserved for
them directly in front of the stage. The
march was played by Miss Josephine
Hovey, director of music in the city
schools. Those who are to be graduated
from the high school this evening came
last in the procession. each senior wear
ing the class flower, the yellow rose.
Cyril c. Marion. the class president,
acted as chairman Of the exercises and
warmly welcomed the guests of the aft
ernoon in a cordial little speech. Upon
Miss Elizabeth S. Skinner devolved the
honor of presenting the class history and
many of the fondest memories of four
years of school life were called up in an
way by the class historian.
Applause followed closely the first num-
Der on the program and each participant
thereafter was accorded warm recep-
lion from the audience Seldom has a

merit in the verses and they were de-

gram when d. Winnifred Smith np-
