: Friday evening, September 80, the high
school held its annual freshman reception
and banquet at X. of P. Hall with about
sixty people present. Following the GUS
tom of recent years the affair was an in
yitational one with each student bringing
one guest. At eight O'Clock the enter
tainment began with a program of solos,
duets, trios, quartets, farces and commu-
nity singing, after which the students
and guests sat down to real banquet at
which Mr.. Warren, principal of the
school. acted as master of ceremonies.
The passion for satisfying the inner crav-
ipas was restrained until several lusty
school cheers could be given, after which
the hungry participants sat down to make
up lost time cleo Foley, president of the
senior class, delivered an excellent speech
of welcome to the freshmen, in which he
cautioned them of the pitfalls OF school
| life and advised them as to the proper
use of the opportunities open to them
through their school work. Donald Clegg,
spokesman for the freshmen, gave thanks
in his own inimitable manner for the
courtesies received at the hands of the
seniors. An interesting talk was given
by Mr. Morgrage, superintendent OF
schools, on the pecuniary value of an
education. He brought out to the stu
dents the fact that if they were to
consider only the monetary value of
high school education. it would be worth
to them nine dollars a day, and advised
them that if their time was not worth
that much, they would make good bar
gain by staying in school. An interesting
part of the program was a talk oy Mrs
| Cora Tolman, teacher in the grammar
school. in which talk she brought out
many features of life and business in
Michigan in which State she lived and
taught for many years. She also praised
heartily the grand picturesqueness OF the
mountains, lakes, and the diversified
scenery of Maine. Being a woman OF
broad travels and wide experience ner
talk was unusually well received. Among
such feasting and celebration, however,
the freshmen were not forgotten and
upon urgent invitation performed several
stunts, the most interesting of which
was a boxing match by Russell Snow
and Charles LeSan in which the partici-
pants were blindfolded.. After the BAN
quet the students and guests enjoyed q
social dance with music. Following 10
