building had brought Belfast prosperity
With fund of stories, which had bright
and happy thoughts as well as encourage
ment, he took up the greater part of the
few minutes allotted him, but it is safe
to say he can be depended upon to dc
his part in making homes for all new
comers 10 our city after the new school
building is here.
Miss Florence E. Dunton of the B. H.
S. alumni and librarian of the free H.
brary, spoke on the co operation of the
school and library. While holding to her
subject with pertinent facts of encour-
agement she was bright and alert in tell
ing stories of amusing things that hap
pen when children are in search of books
of reference, etc. 1t is very evident that
she will gladly do her part in this branc h
of the library's usefulness.
Charles S. Bckford, for twenty five
years member of the school board and
now its able and valuable chairman, gave
brief summary of the advantages of
Large and the Small College. He urged
all who could to 60 TO a college of some
kind, "but," he said, eff your are four
flusher don't 60 to any college at ALI for
there is no place on Gods green earth
where they will weigh you as accurately
as they will at college. You can depend
on that College will not make great
man, but it will make a great man great
er."
Miss Ruth Partridge and Orland Or
chard presented the class gifts, prefacing
their part with the hope that all would
be accepted in the spirit of fun in which
they were given. Some of the hardest
knocks on tender pots were graciously
received with smiles and bushes, accom-
panied by the cheers of their classmates
who appreciated to the full tneir gentle
insinuations.
No one could have put more real
thought into the few minutes allowed
him than Principal Harry A. Foster did
on Vocational Education" because his
life is spent in conditions that furnish
such needs and demands. He is born
teacher and leader of students.
Supt. E. E. Roderck gave the class
some wholesome advice on the subject
assigned him, "Plans for Teaching in the
Interim" While rearetting to lose the
large class he was pleased to know that
they would be prepared to enter upon
higher studies or their life's work. In
closing he said: ''Study to show yourself
approved of God, ETC."
Tolford Durham made great hit in his
bright and breezy will of his class. They
very generously gave to the superntend-
ent and school board the old school build
ings with the wish that they might oc-
cupy the uncomfortable old seats "where
the class had parked for the past four
years." To the faculty they left restful
nights and happy dreams of the SO cherubs
now leaving them. Mr.. Mclnnis was
given their permission to leave at once
for Somerville, Mass, (the home of his
fiancee). Many mantles no longer needed
by the graduates were deftly placed on
the shoulders of their classmates with
the happiest of smiles and consequent
cheers. The will was made valid by the
signatures of Nicholas Carter, Victor
Hugo and Harry A. Foster.
With a circle of clasped hands the class
stood and sang with expression Aud
Lang Syne before adjourning to the Arm :
ory for their ball.
/ McKeen's orchestra, with Charles F..
Hammons, soloist, furnished music for
the ball which was attended by many
young people who reported very happy
closing event of a week of pleasure. The
+ evening gowns of the sweet girl graduates
greatly enhanced the beauty of the happy
time.
The majority of the class, accompanied
by Mr.. Foster, Mrs. Parker and Miss
Evans, went to the Vickery Camp at
Quantabacook Friday for the annual out
ing.
