ed the faculty. Miss Evans became a
teacher In 1921. The junior year began
with an enrolment of forty three,
! but before the year was finished many
left, among whom were Albert Norey,
who joined the senior ranks, Roy Brad
| ford, who joined the navy, Charles Swift,
| who is attending Wentworth Institute,
Bertha Clark, who is now in Spokane,
Washington, Gladys Young, Lee Carter,
Virginia Dutch and David Hoxie. In
the senior year Mr. Mclnnis, Mr.. Damn
and Prof. Chase became members OF the
faculty. In closing, she said:
We feel that during our four years of
high school life we have found some Joy
in working and satisfaction in tasks
accomplished. So we may hope to attain
that state which kipling describes in
the following lines:
"And only the Master shall praise us, and
only the Master shall blame;
And no one shall work for money, and no
one shall work for fame,
/ But each for the Joy of working, and
each, in his separate star,
Shall draw the Thing as he sees 1t for the
God of Things as They Arep'
Mr.. Nickerson's grafton, "Sealed Or
ders," was given with a manly spirit, an
earnest manner and with the clearest
enunciation. He gave his audience the
impression that it was his purpose to
fashion his life on the ideals featured in
the text of his discourse. The most fav
orable comment was heard from all
sources and he is worthy of the highest
praise.
The vocal duet "Graduates' FAREWELL
by Misses Robertson and Plaisted, was not
only most appropriate, but was also very
pleasing Their voices were in good con-
troll and blended well.
Miss Orchards essay "Woman in Bus-
ness" was full of original thoughts on
topic of vital Importance to nne-tenths
of the women of today. She said in
closing:
There is no sentiment in business. 1t
is like an immense and relentless current
one must sweep with it or be destroyed.
Women raised on pretty sentiment de-
plore the fact, but they cannot alter it.
The best way to do is to adapt yourself
to the rule and avoid friction.
Once in a while you find business
girl who rather looks on marriage as a
deliverance. She is not really business
| girl, but a girl in business. To the real
business woman marriage is getting to be
us much side issue as it is to a man.
No business woman can afford to allow
personal worries to interfere with her
| office work, because it affects the whole
atmosphere When a duty opens up to
her she must set forth to conquer it with
smile.
Although it was once thought that
women were not capable of doing any,
thing outside of the home, we now find
them in nearly every place of business,
holding positions which were formerly
held by men alone"
Mr.. knowlton's cornet solo, ELITE
Polka" with Mr.. Scott as accompanist,
was one of the most pleasing features of
the program. His effort was without the
use of the printed notes and his tones
were clear and steady. While he has
natural gift for music his solo showed
that he had given ime and patience in
his practice.
President Orchard in we'll chosen words
presented to Mayor G. w. Wescott the
class gift, check of 500 to the B. II. s.,
with the request that it be invested IN
| science text books for the new library.
Mayor Wescott's response was full of
appreciation and satisfaction with the
school, it's teachers and it's students.
Miss Frost, the youngest member OF tho
largest class the b. S. has ever gradua
ted, having just reached her fifteenth
birthday, gave the valedictory and her
essay in manner that would do credit te
any student in the twenties. Her thoughts
were unusually we'll expressed, frank and
of high ideals. Her modest manner was
al one of her chief assets. Her subject
was found in the class motto, "SimpIic-
ity, Sincerity, Service" In closing she
said in part:
parents, we realize that we have en-
/ ioyed the oppor tunity of which many
are deprived, of attending high school
for four years, and we appreciate the
sacrifices which have, perhaps, been nee
essary on your part in~order that we
! might remain at school. You have, at
least, given us our time, gone without
what help we might have been able to
give at home, and by your support and
encouragement in our study, as we'll as in
our social times, have in great measure,
made this night possible.
ITO the faculty, certainly, few words
of ap, recitation are due, to you who have
been so helpful and considerate of our
needs throughout all our high school life.
We know that it was not part of your
duties as teachers to do many of the
