II. n. S. Senior Party

The annual II. H. S. senior party
was given Saturday evening at high
school to the class OF 1926. The par
ty was held in the smaller rooms of
the building, which were gay with
red and green festoons. Christmas
bells and evergreen, and looked quite
unlike their former workaday aspect.
The earlier games and stunts of the
evening were held in the commercial
room. A marine battle waged against
candy battlesbips. picking Jerusalem
cherries from a gay little cherry tree
and finding attached to each cherry
a forecast of ones future profession,
the reading of horoscopes, and a
Teddy bear hunt in which the VIC
Tins were chocolate Teddy bears, oc-
cupied the time till Santa Claus had
make his annual visit with his pack
of jokes and slams.
Then the guests adjourned to the
English room, where a large tree
awaited them. Pink bags Of popcorn
were distributed, each containing a.
candy dollar. one of which was mys-
teriously luck bringing. Then the
real business of the evening began
with the distribution of presents
from the tree. Each person received
four slams" from his classmates,
and each recipient showed his gift
while the verses that accompanied it
were read, to an accompaniment of
shouts of laughter, even from the
victim. The last gift that came from
the tree proved to be a beautiful silk
umbrella, gift Of the class of 1925
to Miss Haskell, the hostess.
Then the tired company rested
from laughter while refreshments of
Ice cream, cake and candy were
served. Miss Virginia Carter took
the place of Mrs. Haskell, who was
unable to be present because Of her
mothers illness, and assisted Miss
in serving, as did also Miss
Phyllis Cleveland and Miss Lillian
Dawbin of the seniors.
After the refreshments were dis
posed of, one of the features of this
annual party followed, the reading Of
the handwriting analysis and the
guessing of the person to whom the
character thus read belonged. By
that time the hands of the school
clock were nearing twelve and the
company gathered around the piano
to sing old songs for what remained

Moulton's resignation:
In accepting the resignation on
account of failing health of our pas
tor, Rev. James Wilbur Moulton, we,
as church society, do so with deep
est regret. Mf. Moulton came to us
three years ago, and during that
time has discharged every duty per-
tanning to his passionate with extreme
faithfulness. Besides being a teach
err and preacher. he has gone into
the homes of his parish and there
talked with the jewellers and prayed
with them, making every household
to feel itself a part of the church,
though many of these never attend
ed a service in the church building.
These visits to parishioners meant
the walking of many miles. He
knew the name of every person in
the parish from the Oldest to the
very youngest. He comes to our
school says the. child. and calls
every one of us by name Thus was
he true shepherd.

leader of our congregational singing,
and here, also, he will be sadly
missed. We feel that we have been
greatly blessed in the ministrations
of Mr.. Moulton. We shall always
have deep affection for him and fol-
low him with our interest wherever
he may go, praying that his declin-
ing years may still be useful in his
Masters service, well proving that
only in such service would they for
him be happy ones.
Our tribute would not be quite

citation for Mrs. Moulton, whose
work In our church organizations

who crossed it's threshold and its
use has been freely offered for any
