W|NSLOW HIGH HAS
LAST EXERCISES
FOR GRADUATION

Last chapel exercises were held
yesterday morning at 8 o'clock in
the assembly room at the high
school building.
Each and every number on the
program at the graduation exercises
was SO we'll delivered and fine In
every way that too much cannot be
said in their praise, but the present
alton of gifts by Phyllis Morrell was
q winner, and is said to be the best
ever heard at Winslow high school
graduation. Miss Morrell showed a
very keen sense of humor, a very
bright mind, her delivery of address
was very natural and easy, more as
if she had been carrying on a con-
versation with the young people in
stead of doing all the talking her.
self, and she did not show any
mercy upon the recipients of the
very amusing gifts. Miss Morrell
is a very young lady. petite. slim,
and wears a saucy little bob" In
her pretty little white graduation
gown and her corsage of beautiful
graduation flowers she made a very
pleasing little picture as she called
one after the other of her class
mates to stand before her and re-
ceive their present. %.
The first victim to be called was
Ralph Towle, and to him Miss Nor
rell' presented a very small kewpie
doll, with the injunction not to
break her heart.
Thomas Henderson, who Is rather
small, was called up and told. that
good things came done up In very
small packages, and was presented
with a ladder on which to "reach
Bernice ("Bunny") Simpson. re-
ceived a bottle of glue with when
to firmly attach herself to any de-
sirable "object."
To Harvey Bourrassa, Miss Nor
rell presented a book, "Courtshlp
Made Easy" with the injunction not
to blush and be so bashful.
To the class poetess, Miss Thelma
Hapworth, who was the composer OF
the very fine class ode, Miss Morrell
presented a small toy piano upon
which to play accompaniment for
the violin solos of q certain young
violinist, who is we'll known IN town.
Delmiro >Taddi.
Miss Florence Roderick, whose
trifle overweight does not interfere
with her being a fine dancer. received
a tiny pair of dancing slippers, with
the admonition to make use OF them
To Erna Wolfe, the class saluta,
torian, and a girl who IS unspolleo
by an exceedingly pretty face and
pleasing manner, and whom every
one loves, was presented with q
small vanity case.
George McCausland, the class
dancing instructor, was hardest MT
for he received twenty-four young
ladies on a long rigbbon, and MISS
Morrell smilingly advised him to
keep the two end girls far apart az
they are said to be rivals.
And to the valedictorian, MISS
Edna Cushman. who very beauufuily
rendered her farewell address, MISS
Morrell gave a tiny wristwatch, sc
that she might not forget what time
the cars run toward her home.
To sum it all up, Miss Morrell dic
"things up brown" but she, herself
could not escape a burdensome gl1t
and after the vociferous applause
had somewhat subsidized after mel
final words, she was called to the
MIA form and presented with bottle
of "Jakey." or course the owner OF
a name somewhat like that is nc
farther away than DeOrsay's Drug
Store in Waterville.
