Rainy Weather, Makes it Necessary to

Furnished By High School Orchestra
and F. C. Adams of Glass of '96

Interesting exercises were held at the
high school building yesterday afternoon
at $50 o'clock, when the Goth class day
program of the Brattleboro high school
was presented before an audience which
filed the assembly room and included
relatives, friends and schoolmates.
Weather conditions made it impossible to
hold the exercises on the lawn as had
been planned, but the rain did not inter
fere with the planting of the 1922 ivy as
the last feature of the program.
The program opened with the March
of the Scouts, played by the high orches-
ira, which was assisted by A. H. Brasor
and Sewall Morse, as the faculty and
graduates were escorted to seats in the
center of the assembly room by the mar
shals, Edmund Manley and Merle Stone
The presidents address was given by
William Edward Moreton, who called at
tention to the fact that although their
high school days were over their educa-
ton was not over, for in a large sense
every day holds new lesson, the correc-
ton of yesterdays mistake and the pre-
yention of tomorrow's. As the amount
and kind of work a man does is the meas
ure of his health, so the amount of ear
nestness with which one goes at the
daily tasks is the measure of ones success
IN life. He spoke of the great opportun-
tiles in the business world in general and
OF the way in which heads of large con-
Germs are eager TO give youth a chance,
and called upon the graduates on all oc-
casions throughout their lives to strive
TO be, not to seem,'' according to the
class motto.
Philip Henry Wheeler, in the class ora
ton, gave Some Aspects of the Coal Sit

ton in Montana, Wyoming, Washing

Wool. Contracting of both wool and
lambs has reached dimensions in re-
cent weeks. Numerous large Western

sdleS at nine to ten cents pound are
reported, with the latter price being
generally refused in Idaho. Wasbinoton
and Oregon. The price last wear was

backs are selling as high as 35 to as
cents q pound, with some clips. includ-
ing the jericho pool clip, selling up to
