 This years class day exercises proved as entertaining as is invariably the rule. These exercises offer an insight into the 1 class affairs, the personality of it's mem bership, it's joys and sorrows, it's hopes and ambitions, as well as it's history, that is not discernible at the graduation exer- cfses. Class day brings the attending au- l dience into more intimate touch with the class as a whole and as individuals than l any other function of the commencement ] period. Therefore class day is always ] especially enjoyable and those privileged to attend are always appreciative. i While the class day audience was made i up in large part of relatives of the grad uates, close personal friends and mem- bers of the alumni of the school, the graduation exercises brought together an audience that included many who are in- terested strictly from the standpoint of education and in which the towns school system is accomplishing. And all who came were pleased and gratifed.
