John Carter’s salutatory fand es- 
say on “America’s Hospitable Hand” 
was very well prepared and was de- 
livered well. 
Miss Annabelle Lodge had the hon- 
orary essay and she selected for her 
subject “The Children in Shakespear- 
ian Drama.” ‘The part was ably pre- 
pared and though difficult to deliver 
was handled wall in this respect. 
Miss Glendenning handled her sub- 
ject, written with Browning’s verse 
“Sing me a hero! Quench my thirst 
of soul, ye bards”! as a text, in a very 
masterly manner and her delivery was 
perfect. 
The stage was banked with ferns, 
palms and potted plants and over the 
stage hung the class motto “Honor 
not Honors,” in gold letters upon a 
background of blue—the class colors 
being gold and blue. 
Instead of the usual custom of hay- 
ing the graduates fill in the entire pro- 
gram with their various class parts, 
a speaker was provided, and the only 
“parts” were the salutatory, the vale- 
dictory and an honorary essay. ‘The 
numbers were interspersed by singing 
by the school. 
On the platform sat the class, the 
ministers, the speaker, the superin- 
tendent and teachers. The members 
of the school occupied front seats in 
the auditorium. 
The address of the evening was by 
Prof. Edwin C. Bolles of Tufts col- 
lege, who gave an inspiring and help- 
ful talk on Education and Life, in 
which he made a plea for universal 
education. (Owing to the necessity 
of going to press this morning, we 
are unable to print Prof. Bolles’ ad- 
dress this week, but we will do so in 
our next issue, as he said many things 
which ought to prove of great benefit 
to those who read his address.) 
The singing under the direction of 
Instructor of Music Wales, was very 
well rendered. The school orchestra 
assisted, Arthur Lodge at the piano. 
The Appleton medal for the most 
punctual in attendance, most faithful 
in studies, and deportment was 
awarded to Miss Manion. 
Tonight the class reception will be 
held in Town hall. The class officers 
are Annabelle Lodge, pres.; Helene 
P. Sherman, vice pres.; Gwendolen 
Glendenning, secy.; Frank L. Floyd, 
treas,
