The class day exercises of the grad

were very interesting and well carr
ried out. All in the parts were well
taken and were especially interesting
in view of the fact that no exercises
of this kind have been held for the
past ten years. The: school campus
furnished an excellent setting for. the
following program: March, songs to
the class of 1917, undergraduate girls;
song of American Youth, school CHOIR
us; Springtime, Girls Glee Club; Pres
ident's address, William Raymond
Cole; Prophecy, Walter J. Hughes;
class ode, Marion. r. Bartlett; address
to undergraduates, Mildred " Nom
teith; Merry Heart, School chorusi
will and presentation. Isabel M. Gull
len, read by Alice NJ. Hughes. Orleans
High School songs, school chorus. /
The slams were particularly well
given and every applicable to the peo-
pie. The graduation took place in the
evening at eight. o'clock, the usual in
terested audience being present. The
following program was carried out:
Orchestral selection, 1.-THE Two Gre
nadiers," school chorus; song of the
years, school chorus; salutatory, Will

many people were informed for the
first time of the historical interests o.
the place where they reside. The lat
ter part of the essays represented Or
leans in an Utopia, and the suggestions
given were valuable and practical.
All did very we'll, and reflected great
credit upon themselves, the school and
the town. The music for the entire
| week has been under the able direc-
ton of Miss Addie Lothrop and has
added much to the pleasure of the
occasions. Principal A. G. Fletcher in
few well chosen words presented the
