RECEPTION FOR GRADUATES
 GIVEN BY ALUMNI
Social Event Closes Commencement
 Week-HeId at State Armory.

TWIN hd~'S NA SSNNO 'AASi SH With this is the end of a perfect day" feeling seemingly permeating the large number present, the annual re- ception for the graduating class of Killingly High school was given by the Alumni association at the state ar mory Friday evening.
 As usual, the affair rated as the premier event of the summer social season, attracting guests from many towns and cities, large numbers of graduates, relatives and friends of the class and of the school.
 The reception was the first to be held in the state armory, the change winning the approval of many who have always felt that the overcroWding at receptions in the town hall has taken much from the pleasure of be- ing present.
 From to the class received. The grand march that followed was led by the class president, George Renne Caron, and Miss Florence Mae Potter, of the class. Second in line were Frank J. G. Bailey, Hartford, presi- dent of the Alumni association, and Miss Mildred M. Fillmore of Norwich.
 The march was followed by a pro- gram of dances to music by the Ideal Singing orchestra Webster. Inno- vations this year were the placing of class numerals at intervals around the hall, resulting in class members con- Sregatlng beneath their year for brief reunions, and the dimming of the armory lights at one period that an illuminated American flag over the orchestra be brought out prominently, this feature winning applause.
 The arrangements for the reception were efficiently taken care of by the following officers of the Alumni asso- clation: President, Frank J. G. Bai- ley; vice president, Lester Shippee; Carroll Allen, secretary treasurer; executive committee, Ernest Ross Warren, Harry J. Hyde, Miss Ruth Arnold.
