The class motto, ‘“Maximus in Mini- 
Rowe 
mis’’—‘“‘Great in small things’? —was 
inscribed in letters of gold on a_back- 
ground of green, over the stage. “The 
class colors were green and gold. 
‘The singing under the direction of the 
instructior of music, Geo. W. Wales, 
of Milton, was very good, especially the 
chorus, ‘‘Morning Invitation,’’ which 
was rendered with much vim and good 
expression. 
‘The graduates: Alice Lee Blaisdell, 
Agnes Carter, Mary Howard Coughlin, 
Walter Judson Fleming, Mary Agnes 
Gillis, Nellie Mildred Hobbs, Ethel 
Palmer Jones, Edward Bickford Kitfield, 
Samuel Colby Rowe, Marjorie Moffett 
Sargent, Ethel Frances Standley, Ethel 
Chase Stanley, Annie Preston Younger. 
The class organization: President, 
Agnes Carter, vice president, Ethel C. 
Stanley, secretary, Ethel F. Standley, and 
treasurer, Alice L. Blaisdell. 
Chas. A. Lodge did not graduate as 
he has taken special studies the past year 
to prepare him for entering Amherst 
Agricultural College in the fall.’ 
Each member of the class had a _ part, 
all of which were we!l handled: The ori- 
ginal story, “‘Carol Henry’s Triumph,”’ 
by the valedictorian, Miss Annie P. 
Younger, is worthy of special mention. 
‘The best elocutionary effort probably was 
that of Miss Ethel F Standley, in ““‘How 
the beautiful came to earth,’’ from Ben 
Harr 
Walter Fleming as prophet had a 
way of placing the members that seemed 
to please all. Miss Jones was to be at the 
head of a great peace movement; Ethel 
C. Stanley was to be a nurse; Ethel F. 
Standley, a renowned alto singer; Mar- 
jorie Sargent, chauffeur; Agnes Carter, 
wife of a famous admiral, U S N ;

boarding school; Mary Coughlin, a settle-

Harvard Class Reunions next week 
An interesting feature of College Com- 
mencements each year are the numerous 
class reunions. ‘This year there are to be 
several class reunionsat Harvard of speci- 
al interest to North Shore folk, notably 
that of 7 S2.=.87-and< 92, 
‘The class which, according to custom, 
has the most elaborate reunion is the one 
out of college 25 years. This year it is 
the class of ’82 that does the honors. 
Henry W-. Cunningham of West 
Manchester and Milton holds the position 
of chief marshall of this class, the position 
of most importance at commencement. 
Mr. Cunningham has been secretary of 
the class for many years. The class starts 
the week tomorrow with a service at 
‘Trinity church in the afternoon. “The 
following morning the class will go out to 
Cambridge and visit places in the yard a- 
round which cluster class:memories. In 
the afternoon Mr. and Mrs. Cunningham 
will entertain the members and their wi- 
ves at a reception at their home in Mil- 
ton, and in the evening their will be a 
vaudeville show in Boston for the private 
entertainment of members. 
‘Tuesday the members will come to 
Manchester to the home of William L. 
Putman on Smith’s Point where there 
of Interest to North Shore People. 
will be lunch and the day spent in a sort 
of go as you please way. Numerous plans 
are on foot for their entertainment. The 
next day, which is commencenent day, 
the class will attend the exercises at Har- 
vard, and in the evening will hold a din- 
ner at Young’s hotel. There are 153 
members, and it is believed that 125 will 
be on hand. 
From a sentimental point of view no 
reunion will equal that of the class of ’ 57, 
which turns its half century this year. 
‘Twenty-two classmates survive, among 
whom are Col. Franklin Haven of Bev- 
erly Farms, Francis Bartlett of Pride’s 
and Ex. Goy. John D. Long. 
The class of 1887, over 100 strong, 
will spend Monday at the attractive new 
home of their classmate, C. F. Ayer, in 
Hamilton, going from Boston by auto- 
mobile. 
The class of 1892 will celebrate its 15- 
th reunion with a sea trip tomorrow on 
the large yacht Isis owned by classmate 
John ‘T. Spaulding of Pride’s Crossing, 
and they will probably be shown over the 
extensive estate of the Spauldings at 
Pride’ s. 
The BREEZE one year, one dollar.
