Commencement Week

The Island Pond High School
Commencement Exercises were
held last week. The program
was very pleasing and we'll pat
ronized. A new feature was in
troduced, the Presentation of
Gifts, by Alex King, in which
he exercised unique style and
humor. The whole week in
Guiding the play, Three Hats
on Wednesday evening, was a
success and pronounced by
friends of the school, as "the
best graduation in years. The
graduating class numbered
seven, namely, Marion Currier,
Ella Pottr, Mary Foss, Alex
King, Robert Lawton, Carl
Withrow and Guy Norris.
The school authorities were
very fortunate in obtaining Ex-
Senator Babbitt, who for many
years has been in the public af-
fairs of the state, as speaker of
the evening, who addressed
the class on the essentials of
patriotism. His address was
the production of a fruitful
mind, and highly colored with
a sincere desire for the better
ment of social and political
conclusions. Thruout his ad-
dress Mr.. Babbit unconsciously
revealed the fact that he was a
true friend to education, a firm
believer in unlimited education
al advantage for our growing
generation, and above all a
true and unselfish patriot.
"Education is the foundation
of citizenship" said Mr.. Bah
bit.
He showed his love for state,
especially his and our state,
Vermont. How he longed to
see her on the incline to prosper
ity in the future as she has been
from the beginning, and how
willingly we should do every
thing in our power, with what
ever sacrifice, to make this dear
old Vermont,not one of the best
but the best state in the union.
All who heard Mr.. Babbit
were much impressed with the
messages he conveyed, as they
were with the sincerity of the
man who conveyed them. May
the opportunity of hearing this
man again not long be deprived
us.
