Norway High Graduation.
CLASS OF TWENTY ONE RECEIVED d.
PLoNAs THURSDAY EVENING.

Fully up 20 tue nlgn stanoaru OF pro-
yious years were the graduation exercises
of the class of 1916 of Norway High
School which took place at the Opera
House Thursday evening. The public
manifested its interest in the school and
the members of the class by the size of
the audience, which filled nearly every
seat. The decorations were simple. A
large arch across the front Of the stage
bore the class motto in orange and white,
the class colors, 1--WE Have Crossed the
Bay, the Ocean Lies Before U.s." Drap-
ipgs of the same color were used to good
effect about the stage. Seated on the
left were Principal Hathaway and the
other members of the teaching force,
while on the right were Superintendent
Morrill, and the members of the School
Board. Excellent music was furnished
BY an orchestra of local players.
Fifteen of the twenty-one members Of
the class took part in the exercises, which
were most interesting. The class parts
and essays were well written and well
delivered and the affair passed off in q
way that must have been pleasing TO
those who had worked hard to make 1t
Q success. At the close the diplomas
were presented by Superintendent Nor
rill with brief remarks, and the Don
Seitz prize of twenty-five dollars in gold
to the student maintaining the highest
rank for the four years. course, was also
presented by Mr.. Morrill, to Francis
Swain Andrews, the valedictorian of the
class. Mr.. Andrews has maintained a
FIVE study course instead of the regular
four-study Course, from the time he en-
tered TO graduation, besides taking an
active part in various forms of athletics.
As usual the presentation of gifts was
an enjoyable and laughable feature, and
when Miss Doris Shepard received lit
tie black kitten that was decidedly live
", there was much merriment.
