famous Hebron athletic teams with
an almost spotless reputation to up
hold. For those not athletically in
clined there is debating and public
speaking. The Hebron Semester
and the year book. The Green Par
rott' too offered a fine scope for
work. AS a final message, he said
undergraduate. we are leaving our
trail for YOU to follow. Do not fall
by the wayside, but strive ever
toward the goal and remember that
the end crowns the work.
After some music by Pettengill's
o. Chestra. came the class grafton,
The Philippines" delivered by Bur
ION L. Carroll of Lynn. This speech
was we'll delivered and would have
lccn q credit to any more expert
cnced speaker. Mr.. Carroll made
strong arguments for the indcpend-
cnce Of the people of the Philippine
Islands. He said that 80 per cent. of
them were Christians who had sue
cessfully proved shat they were cap
able Of self government The onlv
Thing that is light for the United
States to do IS to grant 20 these peo-
pie their Just rights Through tic
Jones bill. passed by Congress. this
country pledged to give the islands
their freedom when they were
thought to be ready to receive it.
Now for ovcc five years there has
been no uprising or disturbances
among the pcople there. Ire local
assembly has made many improve
ments on the islands and have shown
themselves ready for Independence.
Mr.. Carroll was a speaker i'll the l-y-
ford contest at Colby college and
also in the Hebron prize speaking
contest, having won prizes at both.
The class prophecy was delivered
by Miss Helen Lenfest of Chelsea,
Mass, and Carroll lee Card of Lu-
bee. These two young people acted
as class secretaries who after many
years having left Hebron, come to-
gether again by chance. A postman
comes in and brings big sack OF
mail. 1t is correspondence from the
different members of the class to the
secretary. Then they open the let
the letters that they read comes the
prophecy of the entire class. Many OF
the occupations that their former
classmates are reported to be en-
gagged in are ridiculous, and caused
much laughter.
The last speech to be delivered
was the presentation of gifts by MISS
of
This was done in a very attractive
and novel manner. Miss Crawford
had climbed one of the high nils
around Hebron one afternoon ana
was about to sign her name IN a
register on the top when she DIS
covered a folded piece of paper there
giving her exact directions to so 10
the woods below. Here she went and
under q birch tree she found the
various fates that were destined w
IA tes for the class of 1922. The gift
that followed were well chosen ana
made some pretty good hits.
After the presentation OF gifts and
some music by the orchestra came
the singing of the class ode, the
words of which were written by
Florence Redman of North Andover,
Mass, and Catherine Isabella Lom-
hard OF North Yarmouth. The tune
was "All Hail Fair Western.
Glass Ode
As now We leave thee. Hebron.
The thought that's in each heart
Is one of loyal spirit
That lasts although We part.
That spirit we wifi carry,
AS through the years we go;
For to our Alma Mater.
True loyalty we owe.
The friends of youth may scatter,
And all may go their ways;
But memories will linger
Of all our happy days.
Wen sing Old Hebron's praises,
Her glory. pride and fame:
And always will we cherish
Our Alma Matters fame.
