*Completes the course as a graduate student.
Every seat in the house was occupied
when the graduating class was mar
shaled in, as on class day, by Lloyd
Downing of the freshman class. The
girls Of the class, in accordance with the
custom established in 1914, wore uniform
dresses.
The exercises were opened with pray
er by Rev, B. G. Lipsky, pastor of the
Heddihg Methodist church This was
followed by music, Away to the Woods
tSehrammell, by chorus made up Of
the members of the senior class.
Second Honor Student.
Emma Liberia Trentini, who had been
awarded second honor for scholarship
during the four years course, read an
essay on Reconstruction in France,
during which she pointed out that the
reconstruction period, which lies before
the world, requires as much self-saerifice
and as good management as the war.
Clemenceau recognized this need when
he created the ministry of liberated re-
gions, the duties of which are fourfold
as follows: To see to general reorganiza
tion, such as the distribution of food and
clothing and the reopening of schools; to
attend to housing; TO bring about agri-
cultural reconstruction and, finally, to
reorganize the destroyed industries The
loss of half million homes, whose re-
placement value is six billions, the de-
struction Of industrial plants to a num-
Der four times all those extant in New
England to-day, the land damaged by
sunken barbed wires and buried topsoil
makes this ministry a necessity. Be
sides, it must care for the immediate
relatives Of Frances two and one half
million dead.
This national regeneration involves la
Dor which has been displaced by eastern
coolies and ambitious and grasping men
of other nations; it involves the recon
structiou of healthful and comfortable
villages that are going TO satisfy the
sentiment of the people and it involves
the suppression of child labor and the
extension Of the franchise to all women.
Truly, such labors must call for the mot.
to which Miss Trentini read, Garry onl

The next number was solo, "At
Nightfalr' (Metcalf) and Cynthia
Black. by Howard Wilbur Geake of
the graduating class. These were excel
lentlv rendered and received the hearty
applause of the audience.
First Honor Student.
The first honor student, Helen Eliza
beth O'Keefe, read an essay entitled,
"The War and American Commerce. .
She traced the progress of American
commerce through the Dingley tariff pc
riod when American goods could compete
with English and German goods on ac-
count of the excess profit extorted from
the American people, through the period
Of interest in currency and trust prob
lens up to the time when the American
democracy began in a feeble way to de-
mand the fulfillment of its ideals The
