Class day which is always most pop
ular with the underclassmen, as weIl
as the graduating classes of Spauld:ng
high school. took place yesterday after
noon at $50 in the Barre opera house.
There was large gathering Of friends
and alumni Of the school at the exer.
cises The stage was tastefully deco
rated as usual with the class coIors,
blue and gold. All four classes Of the
school marched down the confer aisle al
the house to their seats, the freshmen
coming first and the other classes in
their respective order. The seniors
looked very nice, the girls all being
gowned in white organdie with each
dress made exactly the same The boys
wore dark blue suits with bow ties
and they made very imposing line as
they marched to their places, to the
strains of the Spaulding march.
The opening address of the dav Was
made by George Arthur Mason, press-
dent Of the class, who welcomed every
one to the exercises and expressed the
sorrow Of the class at being Obliged to
leave the school and their hopes for
the future. He then took his place on
the platform to announce the otasr
speakers. Lloyd Edwin. Eisenwinser
was delegated to read the class history
which he did very capably. Starting
with the entrance Of the class into
school as verdant freshmen, he traced
their progress and history through
troubles. parties, dances and class rides
up to the present event of graduation,
the final day of grace having arrived.
Many comic incidents In relation to
these rides and good times were related
by Mr.. Eisenwinter and were much ap-
preciated by the@class who mad already
begun to forget some of them.
Louis 0'Leary, well known as sing
er in this locality and a member Of
the class, rendered a solo. entitled,
'lsrafel," being accompanied by Miss
Marion r. Dorward on the piano IIe
was forced to respond to an encore
after the repeated applause Of the
audience. As his second song he gave
"The Lane to Ballvbree."
Ruth Mae Davis acted as class lave
yer and read the class will which con-
tained more than the usual dose ef
slams and jokes. Nothing ever printed
in this part Of the program is taken
seriously except by the parents of the
students who hear for the first time Of
new phases Of their children's lives. A
great many bushes and snickers were
,alled forth during the reading of the

Evidently he did not think that his
classmates were a very religious lot for

olation may be derived by some of
hem. however, for in reading the
prophecy MIR Cruickshank admitted
hat it was not always authentic.
A new feature was introduced at this
oint. il being a girls quintet which

mith on the violin. Miss Ethel Young
epeated the class ode which was en-
tiled. "True to Work, Word and
'riend" which. by the way, is the
lass motto This ode was written by
er-elf and was very good.
Miss Davina Stephen made the pre-
sntation TO the school. She gave
