Pupils at Commencement
Exercises

From the Rev. Conover's invocation
To Rev, MaeAllester's benediction, 9
program was given by North Wild
wood Grammar School graduating pu'
plls at the Anglesea M. e. church Tues
day night, June 18th, hat surprised
and pleased a large audience.
A quintet Of boys gave zest and
amusement to the exercises by the sing
ing of comic songs. The speeches Of
John G. Calhoun and Abraham Lin
coin, reclted by Cyril Kimball and Jo'
seph R%ittenhouse, were spoken forcibly
and distinctly. AS Marie Ekstrom
told the "Story of Our Flag' the stars
and stripes above the pulpit seemed To
glow with greater luster. "Lessons on
Thrift by Augustus Mack, were TO
the point and OF timely interest. The
greatness Of "Our State" as told in
facts and figures by Adelaide Smith,
was an eye-opener to many hearers.
And "Our City" North Wild wood
was Landed t. the skies by Leroy
Smith.
After the youths program, Senator
William III. Bright, fresh from the Re-
publican convention at Chicago, de-
livered a short address that did not
bear out bis allusion TO the "Bright
family as talking too much"
The most striking sentences OF the
senator's remarks were those on the
women at the Chicago convention.
He said the women spoke briefly and
TO the point. A I'M in %seconding
a nomination spoke seven and a half
minutes and the audience arose en-
masse and applauded her ten minutes.
Senator Bright expressed the firm con-
viction that with the participation Of
women in governmental matters we
would have saner and better laws.
He was delighted with the work Of
the pupils in the evenings program
and the audience showed unmistakable
pleasure in hearing the senator speak.
His homely message to the graduating
class, meaning that as the boys and
girls had attempted big things in the
nights program they should continue
in the same spirit all their lives, was
"Bite off more than you eau chew

Holman & Cassidy, the contractors
who are building the new road from
Central avenue, across the meade VS. to
the main land, are now working on
the erection of a bridge to carry 1t
across Beach Creek. The road, which
has a gravel surface, is completed to
this point. From Beach Greek to
Grassy Sound it is built, but lacks its
gravel surface. When Grassy Sound is
reached, more bridge work will be re-
quired. While the cost to the county
of building this road is great, the time
and mileage saved for auto and truck
by the short cut to Anglesea and North
Wildwood will increase the number OF
visitors and should stimulate business
throughout the island.
