touching incident, not on the pro-
gram, occurred on account of the
recent Illness of member Of the
Junior class, Willis Pratt, a day
scholar who while convalescent was
not able to be present. Just as the
procession was approaching the
, Senior Spring" it was discovered
that Pratt, with his parents, had
come down to the bank of the Ken
nebec river. or the opposite side, in
order to witness the ceremony of
which he was to have been a part.
AZ soon as tn newly made seniors
had marched some distance from the
spring. w. P. Hinckley, called upon
the assemb.age to give nine "Rah's"
for Willis Pratt, and this was done
with great vigor, and was responded
to with waving of handkerchiefs
from the other side of the Kennebec.
