were awarded their diplomas.
signifying their completion of
the prescribed work Of the High
School curriculum. It was the
general opinion that the pro-
gram was the best in several
years. Certainly Dr.. Willard
G. Purdy, Of Wilmington, was a
fine speaker and gave the grads
a fine message, the meat of
which was Know thyself, con-
troll thyself, deny thyself." Tues
day morning at seven it was
amusing to watch the boys and
girls of the class arrive at
Plaza Square where they took
the bus for their trip to New
York City. Some came with
small bags, some with large
ones, some came together, but
generally some members Of
families accompanied them to
have the last glimpse Of John or
Mary before the bus left. These
days have been full. They are
staying at the Herald Square
Hotel and as soon as lunch was
over on Tuesday the class
started on a tour Of uptown
New York, which took in the
beautiful Cathedral Of st. John,
the Divine, Metropolitan Mu-
scum of Art, Grants Tomb, and
Columbia University. Wednes-
day was spent at the fair, where
they saw the Rose Aquacade.
The New York Harbor was seen
on Thursday, and another day
at the fair today, which is Della
ware Day, when they probably
will see some folks from home.
Their evenings have been inter-
esting, for they visited Radio
City and the MIC. Studios and
a midnight movie on Tuesday;
saw Ben Bernie broadcast pro-
gram on Wednesday evening; q
Broadway Show last night, and
tonight will enjoy the "Ameri-
can Jubilee" at the faip. The d
plan is for the group to arrive
home tomorrow at two. Such a
fine opportunity has been given
the boys and girls to see much
of our biggest city, and with the
amusements, it has been we'll
rounded and will be an event in
their lives that will stay with
them. The counsel and interest
Of those who planned these i've
days must be appreciated by
parents and friends of the Class
Of 1910.
