Manchester - in -the -Mountains, we 
note, is the way our sister town in 
Vermont is being styled. 
Today’s issue of the BREEZE is the 
largest we have yet published. Thirty- 
six pages —a regular magazine. Our 
advertising columns filled with live 
matter of interest to all, should be of 
as much concern to our readers as the 
news columns. 
Judging from the extracts appear- 
ing in the various county dailies the 
indications are that Mr. Shaw will be 
NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
a candidate for the state senate again 
this fall. The Manchester man, how- 
ever, has thus far refused to say point 
blank just how he stands. 
We would suggest to our readers 
that we cannot publish items of news 
or communications sent by mail unless 
the same are accompanied by the 
sender’s name. We do not care to 
publish the name, but ask for it simply 
as a matter of good faith. Anonymous 
communications, if printed, might 
some time lead us into trouble. 
It was on the 27th of June, 1620, 
that Rev. Francis Higginson and 
his company of colonists sailed into 
our bay, and was welcomed _ on 
shore by the Indians. Here the 
strangers “plucked wild straw- 
berries and sweet single roses,” and 
tarried over the Sabbath before en- 
tering the harbor of Naumkeag. 
The 27th of June, 1906, has been 
chosen for the summer meeting of 
the Old Planters’ society for their 
summer meeting, on these shores, 
and in memory of William Allen, a 
Puritan pioneer, one of the found-- 
ers of Manchester. 
In June of the following year, 
1630, there anchored in these waters 
a fleet of eleven vessels with Gov. 
John Winthrop and a larger com- 
pany, “with sweet air from the 
shore like the breath of a garden.” 
On board the flagship Ambrose was 
Rear Admiral John Low, comman- 
der of the squadron. Later he set- 
tled in Ipswich, and from him has 
descended Manchester’s grand old 
man, Deacon Low. 
GRADUATION EXERCISES 
(Continued from Page 1, 2d col.) 
Albert Sinnicks and Marie Theresa 
Walsh. 
The organization: Frank W. Flem- 
ing, president; Edna Kitfield, vice- 
president ; G. A. Sinnicks, secretary, 
and Ann J. Coughlin, treasurer. 
One particularly good feature of 
the program as carried out was the 
chorus singing under the direction of 
Edward M. Griffin, the supervisor of 
music in the town schools. The work 
was most complimentary of his efforts. 
The chorus, ‘The Voyagers,” by 
Facer, was very well rendered and the 
chorus, “Under Freedom’s Flag,” ar- 
ranged by McConathy, also deserves 
special mention. 
Space does not permit a lengthy re- 
view of the whole program; every- 
body did well. The ‘Character study 
of Shylock” by Miss Walsh, the dis- 
putation on ‘Government Ownership 
of Railroads’ between Messrs. Sin- 
nicks and Floyd, the class prophecy 
by Fleming, and the valedictory de- 
serves special mention, perhaps. The 
recitation, “The Death of Sydney 
Carton” (Dickens), by Miss Edna 
Kitfield, was also very well rendered. 
Miss Mabel Olsen’s Class History 
took rather well, and the valedictory 
was a well prepared paper. The class 
ode was by Miss Barry. 
The Prophecy, as usual, was in a 
very humorous strain, and was, per- 
haps, most of all enjoyed by the 
scholars and graduates who could 
best appreciate thee -hits-* = denis 
was by Frank W. Fleming. Deep 
sleep had fallen over him, and he 
seemed to lave the spirit of proph- 
ecy descend upon him. A cloud of 
mist enshrouded him and in a mo- 
ment’s time he found himself in 
the interior of a magnificent theatre 
in the centre of Paris. The leading 
iady, who took the part of the 
Queen of Sheba, soon came for- 
ward. “Her ease and beauty soon 
betrayed her, and I recognized my 
old friend Ann (Coughlin).” 
He was again carried to a dingy 
street in the slums of London and: 
saw the crowds listening attentive- 
lv to the music which filled the hall. 
He saw a man and woman wearing 
Salvation Army suits, and the man 
was playing a mandolin. ‘“Present- 
ly it flashed upon me that the man 
was iny old friend Floyd, and the 
woman no other than Edna (Kit- 
field), his wife.” 
Across the Atlantic he sped and 
in San Francisco in a large skating 
rink, giving instructions in “all the 
latest French and English steps and 
the Philippine whirl’ he found Miss 
Rust. In the interior of Africa, in 
the centre of a group of negroes, he 
found a beautiful American girl, 
now leading the life of an old maid 
missionary, he came upon Alice 
(Sargent). Returning to Boston he 
was just in time to see a_ great 
crowd striving for a seat in Sym- 
phony hall. He found the soloists 
were the two who had sang high 
soprano and low base at school— 
no other than “our class secretary 
and salutatorian (Bert Sinnicks and 
Libbie Dunn).” Leaving the hall, 
he met in a crowd, one dressed in 
the garb of a convent, who proved 
to be Marion (Kitfield). Entering 
a large court room he found his 
friend Betts cross-examining a man 
as to “Who lit the candle?” On re- 
turning to Manchester, “I was par-
