WINSLOW
Winslow High
Holds Exercises

| Although graduation this year at
| Winslow high school was altogether
! different than ever before, members
| of the audience that filled Winslow
Grange hall to its extreme rear hall,
at the exercises on Thursday eve
ming, expressed themselves as be-
| lieving that it was an excellent pro-
gram in many ways. The whole pro-
gram, essays and all, was one to in
struct and interest all parents and
| friends Of the graduating class, as
well as, at the same time, to let
them know of the educational adj
vantages Winslow high has to offer
students at the present time.
The stage. on which the members
of the graduating class of 1926, with
their faculty were seated, was a
bower of beautiful green, with a
large and very gorgeous bouquet of
tulips on each side. And another at
tractive feature was the presence of
the beautiful baby grand piano be-
longing to Miss Viola Blake, highest
anking student of the graduating
class, who received her teachers de-
gree and certificate from the Coburn
school of music this week, Tuesday
and upon which she played some
very beautiful selections as a fitting
illustration of portions of her well
prepared and delivered essay, 1.-THE
Universal language. The class en-
tered to the stage from the wings.
and after taking their seats. an or
chestra, the personnel of which was
Mrs. Harriet Patterson, piano; Del
miro Taddei, violin; Beth Haines,
cornet, and Donald Putnam, cello,
rendered fine selection. Rev. +. S.
Dolliff offered prayer, and the or
chestra rendered q second selection.
Lawrence Cole, son Of Mrs. w. w.
Cole of this town, and second rank
ing student of the class, delivered
fine essay on THE Aroostook War;.
His speech was forceful and well
delivered. and his subject was thor
oughly taken up in every detail. AL
ma Glidden, affirmative speaker, and
Divide Pomerleau, negative, held the
audience in high interest during
their debate, Resolved, That capital
punishment should be abolished by
all the states Of the United States.
These two speakers handled their
subject each from their respective
standpoint in very creditable man
ner indeed. Following the debate,
the orchestra rendered another fine
selection, and then Doris Marcou
gave fine history of the Maine
Prohibitory Law. She spoke very
entertainingly indeed, and closed
with saying that Names greatest
contribution to the nation had been
the spirit for and principle of Pro-
hibition.
Miss Violet Bulger. who is the star
pupil of Winslow high schools COM
mercial department, gave very
pleasing sketch of the advancement
Of commercial education and advan-
tages in high schools. Miss Bulger
won second prize in class B of the
state typewriting contest at Auburn
recently. and she very cleverly illus
trated her essay with demonstra-
lions, on a standard typewriter. Her
first speed shown was 80 words a
minute, the second 40, and the third
to so. later closing with a demon
stration of 100 words a minute. Her
sketch and illustrations were great
ly enjoyed, and she won much
hearty applause. In Miss Grace Gar

1900 INVITATIONS
Sent TO ALUMNI
FOR ANNUAL BANQUET

The third annual Cony High
school alumni banquet will far sur
pass the two previous ones If the
plans OF the officers are carried to a
successful conclusion. Approx
mataly 400 former students of Cony
and friends of the school were pres
ent at each of the ether gatherings,
but 1t is planned that the attend
ance this year will be even greater
and that assembly hall will be too
small to hold the crowd.
President Robert B. Williamson
has already seen to it that 1915 in
vitations were sent to the alumni of
Cony. and everyone whose address
could be ascertained has been thus
reminded that on June "a at $50
o'clock Cony High assembly hall will
be the scene of the biggest reunion
yet. These invitations have been
prepared by the commercial classes
at the school.
1t is announced that Mrs. Henry
7. Gilmore and Mayor Ernest l.. Nc
Lean will speak. that there will be
calling of the roll of classes, that
there will be plenty of music and
cheering and that 1t will be a WON
derful opportunity for a renewal of
old friendships.
An added reason for large at
tendance at this time is that the old
Cony High school, which has been
the scene of SO many pleasant men,
cries Of countless alumni, will this
year be merged into the bigger
Cony. which is to be built this sum-
mer and fall. For the last time
former students of the school will
lave an opportunity to see Room
q and other adjoining rooms as
they have been so many years, for
this year they cease to exist in
their present form.
With each invitation Is enclosed a
card which is to be mailed back to
the High school by June II in order
that the committee may know how
many will be present. 1t also serves
the purpose of securing an accurate
mailing list and members who can
not be present are urged to return
tl.ir cana.
