MANCHESTER 
The boys of the Story High school 
presented Ralph 8S. Hayward, the 
sub-master, whose resignation has 
recently been accepted, with a pair 
of gold ecuff-links in token of their 
regard. To Miss Mae Stenhouse, the 
girls made a gift of a very attractive 
pin. The resignation of these two 
instructors is causing much regret 
as both Mr. Hayward and Miss Sten- 
house are very popular at the Migh 
school.
