members of the class of 1916, 
Story High School, Manchester, 
gathered in Vown hall Wednesday 
evening to witness the graduation ex- 
ercises of the largest class in the his- 
tory of the school. It was a proud 
moment for the members of the class 
when, receiving the diplomas from 
Raymond C. Allen, chairman of the 
school board, they were made to real- 
ize that their class had reached the 
highest point in numerical strength of 
any class graduated from the school. 
Another notable: feature of the class 
of 1916 is that it contains the largest 
number of young men of any class. 
The list of graduates is as follows: 
Misses Ethel Louise Andrews, Brenda 
Louise Cook, Clara Emily Corrin, 
Emily Mary Ferreira, Catherine 
Anne Gillis, Gladys Gertrude Hu- 
dreth, Mary Rose Morley and Nina 
Elizabeth Sinnicks and James Stanley 
Beaton, Henry Francis Bohaker, Ab- 
bott Burke Foster, Donald Watson 
Height, Chester Baker Hobbs, Frank 
Perkins Knight, Jr., Russell Cliftoa 
Lucas and Grafton Ray Owens. 
The exercises opened with the sing- 
ing of “Wake, O Wake,” by the 
school and directed by George F. 
Wales. _ Rev. Charles A. Hatch in- 
voked Divine blessing upon the grad- 
uating class. The chorus sang Fan- 
ning’s “The Miller’s Wooing.” 
Donald W. Height delivered the 
salutatory address explaining that the 
class had chosen in accordance with 
general interest in the 300th anniver- 
sary of William Shakespeare to hono1 
him at their exercises. His essay, en- 
titled ‘““Shakespeare’s Comedy,’ was 
delivered with splendid effect and 
showed a great amount of thought 
and preparation. It was replete with 
humorous quotations from Shakes- 
peare, many of which are househo!4 
expressions today. 
“A beautiful World,’ a chorus 
selection followed the salutatory. 
Miss Ethel Andrews delivered an 
essay on “The Ideal Statesman,” as 
depicted by Shakespeare. A wealth 
of excellent comment upon the quali- 
ties essential in the character of an 
ideal statesman is found in Shakes- 
peare’s writings. Miss Andrews 
made extensive use of these quota-
