Seniors Plan
Change in Graduation

The senior class of Skowhegan high
school has voted to change in some
way their form of graduation eXer-
cises. At the present time, the most
approved plan is to have class day
on the afternoon preceding the grad
uation exercises, when the class will,
prophecy, history and preservation of
gifts will be given and such other
class functions as seem best. On the
evening when the diplomas are con-
ferred the two highest honor parts
will be given and a speaker of some
unusual worth will be heard. While
the plans are not as yet unchange-
able, this idea seems to be one ap-
proved by both class and faculty and
will no doubt be carried out Miss
Marguerite Savage, Miss Evelyn
Chase and Lionel Foster have been
appointed a committee to consider
possible speakers.
