GRADUATION EXERCISES 
Thirteen Receive Diplomas from the Story 
High School, Manchester — Very Interesting 
Exercises— Appleton Medal Awarded to 
Harold W. Betts 
The proverbial “13” may be un- 
lucky for some, but not for the class 
of ’06, Story High school, Manches- 
ter, for in every way was their gradua- 
tion exercises a success Thursday 
evening, and the parts taken by each 
of the 13 young men and women were 
. specially well delivered. The class, 
one of the largest ever graduated from 
the local school, made a very good 
showing and reflected much credit not 
only upon themselves but upon the 
teachers, school committee, superin- 
tendent and whole school] system, in 
fact. 
The hall was crowded with relatives 
and friends of the pupils, many being 
forced to stand in the hallway. The 
stage on which were seated the entire 
school and teachers, with the graduates 
sitting in a circular row in front, was 
decorated with palms and cut flowers. 
Over the stage was the class motto 
*‘Vincit, qui se vincit,’’ — “He con- 
36 Pages. Three Cents 
quers, who conquers himself,’’—in 
white, on a background of black, with 
a gold edge. The design and color of 
the class pin, bearing the numeral, 
hung on the wall under the clock. 
The graduates were: Mary Agnes 
Barry, Harold Wadwell Betts, Ann 
Johnson Coughlin, Libbie Alberta 
Dunn, Frank Wiggins Fleming, Ber- 
tram Poor Floyd, Edna Kitfield, Mar- 
ion Kitfield, Mabel Olsen, Mary "Anna 
Rust, Alice Griffin Sargent, George

THE GREAT LESSON 
BY JOSEPH A. TORREY 
Life is a curious game of give and take, 
Where each must suffer for another’s sake, 
The innocent for guilty good for ill. 
Life’s inequalities confront us still. 
This, to the uninstructed, may seem hard, 
But only thus can selfishness be barred. 
This makes for svmpathy and brotherhood, 
Divinely ordered for our highest good. 
Were all cups filled to brim we may believe 
There were no room to give or to receive. 
Vicarious suffering doth for sin atone, 
And none of us may live or die alone; 
Ever for other lives we give our own. 
GLOUCESTER’S OLD REVO- 
LUTIONARY HOUSE. 
Preserved by a Relative of Boston’s 
Noted Antiquarian. 
Its Charming Romance of Religion 
and Literature. 
By Mary Taylor Falt. 
On Middle street, Gloucester, 
upon which the hand of progress is 
gradually making most noticeable 
changes and which is becoming 
‘“Doctor’s Row,’ and assuming 
likewise a business aspect by the 
introduction of stores in several of 
the new buildings thereon, the “Old 
Revolutionary House,’ preserved 
by one of the city’s well known 
women, stands out as a refreshing 
landmark of the old fishing port’s 
quaint and individual by-gone days. 
The present owner of the old 
mansion is Mrs. Ellen M. Shaw 
(nee Lowe of Essex, Mass.), a near 
relative of T. O. H. Burnham, the 
noted antiquarian, who amassed a
