GRADUATION EXERCISES. 
Manchester Town Hall Filled with Friends 
of Graduates Wednesday Evening. 
The Manchester town hall was filled 
to overflowing Wednesday evening by 
the relatives and friends of the gradu- 
ates and pupils of the Story high 
school on the occasion of the gradua- 
tion exercises of the class of 1905. 
The exercises were among the best 
and most interesting ever held in con- 
nection with a Manchester high school 
graduation. Though the class was not 
any larger than usual,—- only six— 
the parts were particularly well ren- 
dered. 
The hall was tastily decorated in 
green, and in the class colors, gold 
and maroon. Over the stage, im- 
panelled in gold letters, with a maroon 
background, and surrounded by a bor- 
der of green, was the class motto, 
‘‘Toujours en Avance,” and under 
thee 
the clock in a similar setting was the 
class numerals. A row of potted 
palms and ferns filled the front of the 
stage and long streamers of green 
went the entire length of the hall. 
The singing by the large chorus of 
high schoo] pupils, under the direction 
of Mr Griffin, the musical instructor, 
was a particularly pleasing feature of 
the evening’s- program. The first 
number on the program was a chorus, 
*“The Marathon Race,”’ by the school, 
and this was followed by the invoca- 
tion, by Rev. C. Arthur Lincoln. 
Miss Fannie S. Knight delivered 
the salutatory, with a very compre- 
hensive essay on the ‘‘ Development 
of the English Drama,” in which she 
traced the drama from its early stages 
in what was known as the miracle 
plays, through the years to the moral- 
ity plays, the historical drama, satiric 
and English comedy, showing the va- 
rious influences being brought to bear, 
etc., to the time of Shakespeare, “the 
greatest dramatist of the world.” 
The chorus then rendered ‘The 
Wedding Bells Begin to Play,” ar- 
ranged by Veasie. 
‘‘ Bacteria’ was the subject of an 
essay by Miss Elizabeth A. Dillon, 
who gave a very good treatise of the 
subject, in words comprehensable to 
all. Besides explaining in a clear man- 
ner the importance of a study of germs 
and germ life and its bearing on the 
medical advances of the day, she 
spoke of the strides made by scien- 
tists in the discoveries of the various 
forms of bacteria. 
The class history by Miss Jessie R. 
Andrews, who took for a subject “A 
New Pilgrim’s Progress,”” was very 
interesting throughout. She started 
with a band of pilgrims,—ten maidens 
and eight youths,— carried them on 
the perilous journey, an occasional
