women doctors. One of whom we should
all be proud is DIR. Fairbanks OF ST.
Johnsbury, who worked with corps of
eight doctors around Chateau Thierry.
"The Effects of Applied Science"
After another selection by the orches-
ira, John L. Berry of Jeffersonvile read
an essay on "The Effects of Applied Sci
ence." Applied science is well l-known
term, but it is not confined to processes
in manufacturing establishments and
laboratories as many people think. We
have the results all about us in our auto
mobiles, telephones, adding machines,
surgical tools and the like. II has made
the world pleasant place to live in but
at the same time a place for indolent
and lazy people, for it has simplified the
work of so many things that labor-sav-
ing devices put people in easy chairs with
nothing to do but fall into bad habits
and become unhealthy from lack of work
Several scientists have recently suggest
ed that the world has become too fond
of the devices and that the few they
now have should be perfected before
any more are evolved.
american Citizenship"
American Citizenship" was the sub
ject chosen by Berton T. Tillotson Of
Middlesex. He pointed out, what an ad-
vantage the American people had in be-
ing able to live under the democratic
government Of this country. But their
citizenship in this republic implies an
obligation. They must be loyal in faith,
true in character and efficient in service.
That our republic is something to be
proud of is shown in its present position
as big brother and guardian to most of
the world
Class Prophecy.
After another selection by the orches-
ira, the class prophecy was given by
Beatrice A. Lance of lower Cabot, Emily
NJ Libby of Montgomery Center, Alice
g. Reed of Concord and Lucie E. Stod-
dard Of Plainield. Three of them repre-
sented the three fates and told the
fourth the future of the class so that it
might appear in The Record.
Edgar Allen Poe's Poetry.
George Edmund Milne of Barre read
an essay on "The Poetry Of Edgar Aiken
Poe" Poe's errstic Imagination, he said,
was such that he was always moody.
He would summon the elements to thm-
der or wall at pleasure. He lived in
world of the mystic unknown. But his
chief quality was his rhythmical sense
in fitting words together His melody
is so unique that it is undehnable, is the
result of genius. Although often looked
on here as vagabond, he is considered
in Europe as Americas greatest poet.
valedictory.
The valedictory, with essay, "The
Melting Pot of Nations" was given by
Josephine NJ. Lucchina of Barre. She
said that the war had brought us to a
realization as to what America stands
for. 1t is the melting pot of all nations,
as every nation is represented here, But
they are not foreigners, as $50 many
think, for when a man Is in sympathy
with America and is willing to believe
in her and become a citizen, he is an
American. Not only does America mean
so much to the older countries of Europe
through the advancement of the emf
grants she sends over, but she is an aid
to them as they stand there to-day She
became a sympathetic colleague in the

only hope toward which Germany looks
and her IA points as expounded by Mr..
Wilson are going to establish lasting
peace. The class of 1919 is something
like the nation in that it is melting pot
of individuals who have learned to work
together. And they offer their thanks
to their teachers for instilling in them
these things and hope that they will be
able to show their thanks by upright,
noble lives.

enthusiasm of the returned alumni and

would remember them always as the

versary of the school, as the largest class
that had ever graduated and as the class
that had graduated at the end of his q
years of service. Charles H. Darling,
president of the board of trustees, pre-
sented the diplomas to the class, telling
! them that the crowning event of the

and for old workers and the harmony of
the two would make a perfect whole.

which was written by Josephine Luc-
china Of the class, the exercises came to
