McDon- ough, member of the board of ed- ucation. Judge McDonough was given the honor of presenting the diplomas and scholarships as his daughter Miss Helen McDonough was a member of the graduating class an honor he has had on two other occasions when his daughter and son graduated from the school.
 There were 108 graduates receiv- ing Bheepskins. The hall was filled to capacity for the exercises by rel atives and friends of the graduates. The High school orchestra furnish ed music for the occasion.
 Birger Johnson salutatorian of the class delivered the address of welcome. The class essay was de- livered by Helen McDonough high est ranking girl of the class and George Englehardt valedictorian of the class delivered the essay and farewell. All three students gave remarkably fine talks and they were delivered in masterful manner.
 The principal address of the evening was delivered by Ernest w. Butteriield, Commissioner of Edu- cation of the State of Connecticut.
 Commissioner Butterfeld's ad- dress was attentively listened to and his address was beaming with good humor in Illustrating his points.
 The commissioner impressed on his hearers that no matteer how thorough the education they might have acquired, to be successful and to make sheadway in the world to- day they must also have initiative to rise to the occasions that are cropping up and go forth and meet them. He also reminded his hear CTS that education should not cease with the student completing his school course but should continue all through life to learn and &C., quire knowledge. No matter how brilliant one may be there Is aI- ways an opportunity to learn.
