to have the occasion rank second 10
none of former years. But to report only
this would leave unsaid a fact highly
worthy of mention, notably an ADDRESS
by the Rev. ]. l.. Keith Macleod n
supplemented by Supt. of Schools, MI.
William C. Sullivan. Both were strong
in dealing with their respective phases
of thought and gave to the class Il
the people advice, pregnant with mean
ing for the good of our eh1ldrens pres
ent and future welfare. Mr.. Macleod
at one point in his address burst 1orth
in an eloquent denunciation OF the
wage pittance paid to so many teach
ers and in his characteristic earnest
ness of appeal, spoke for a more ade-
quate appreciation of the teachers et-
fort, by the people. In this class were
the following:

The Glass Day exercises on Tuesday
evening were such as to show conclu-
.sively the humorous and dramatic
ability of our young people grad
uating in the class of 1919. To
make personal mention is scarcely
w%arrantable since all who participated
measured up to equal degrees of eff
cheney in the part coming to them.
The repeated applause throughout the
occasion confirms our report and, in
fairness TO all previous similar per-
formances, the consensus of opinion is
that this has not been surpassed by
classes already gone out from our high
school. This growth is commendable

u schools. It shows that back of all,
there is a strong, guiding hand and an
eye, ever keeping watch upon that
which works for the educational bet
terment of u school system.
Aside from the usual exercises of
commencement night, an exhibition of
articles of the Manual Arts Depart
ment in its four divisions, viz, print
ing, sewing and cooking, drawing and
art, and manual training, was display
ed for public inspection. In all these
divisions of this department the speci-
mems and projects were of a high or
der and spoke in mute silence yet with
unmistakable emphasis for the ability
of those at the head and in charge of
these respective divisions of the man.
ual arts of our school system. 1t was
unfortunate for the sewing and cook
ing department to have lost its able
teacher, Miss Meehan, in midyear; but
it is also equally fortunate to have
found so able a successor to carry on
the work so well, as its exhibits
show-indeed a compliment to Miss
CroWell.
The exhibitions of the art and draw
ing department were filled with merit
in every part and need nothing more
to argue for the directing and teaching
ability possessed by Miss Morton. who
