Fl. Lee H. S. First
Commencement

of the Fort Lee High School was held
in the auditorium Of Schol No. 1, last
| Monday evening, June %. "The
Pioneer Glass" was composed of thir-
! teen members.
| The two honor students of the class
| delivered splendid Orations. Fanny
! Mockowitz, the valedictorian, spoke on
| women in Civic Life" Thomas
Benedict, on Characterization" Both
subjects were very timely and were
very carefully handled.
DIR. J. J. Savitz, principal of the
| Trenton Normal School, delivered the
main address of the evening. His
message concerning the value and
| need of careful training for life's work
| was well-received. He said too, that
there is now need among adults and
youths for some of the Old-time sacri-
| fee for and dauntless determination
| in the securing of education.
| The music consisted of selections by
| the class orchestra, of individual in
strumental solos and of work by the
girls chorus. The class song, written
by Della Abbott and set to music by
! e. L. ABBOTT, had more than the ordi-
nary merit and interest
The Art Department, supervised by
Miss Herta Hers and assisted by Mr.
Bridenburg, had transformed the
stage into vine-covOred portice.
Realistic wistaria and brightly color
ed hollyhocks We're used as decora-
tons. Great credit is due this de-
partment and all others which aided in
preparing the program.
