GRADUATION EXERCISES 
PLEASING PROGRAM GIVEN AT TOWN 
Harty Last NIcHT. 
The Manchester Town Hall was 
well filled last night for the annual 
graduation exercises of the Story 
High school, two in number. An at- 
tractive program was carried out., 
featured by a scholarly address by 
Rev. Wm. H. Rider, D. D., of Essex 
and excellent chorus singing by the 
members of the High school, assisted 
by the school orchestra, with Mr. 
Munroe at the piano. Rev. Charles 
H. Hatch gave the invocation. 
On the stage were seated the mem- 
bers of the graduating class with Rev. 
Dr. Rider, the speaker of the evening, 
Principal Alfred Saben of the High 
school, Supt. Mackin and Rev. Mr. 
Hatch. The platform was prettily 
decorated with potted plants, with the 
class motto above the stage. 
The lack of members in this year’s 
graduating class may be explained by 
the fact “that when years ago the 
school curriculum was changed to ad- 
mit the ninth grade as a part of the 
High school, this action broke the 
succession of graduation classes by 
one year. 
The singing of the school, especial- 
ly the work of the young ladies’ 
chorus, in their special number, “W el- 
come Pretty Primrose,’ was praise- 
worthy. The music rendered also 
showed a careful selection of pieces 
specially suited to the wants of stu- 
dents. The singing aided the success 
of the entire program very materially. 
The opening number on the pro- 
gram, “Pride of America,’ was a se- 
lection with a lilting, lively ae 
sion which was well handled by the 
chorus. “The Reapers,’ which fol- 
lowed, was a selection which was well 
suited to the voices of the mixed 
chorus; it was well done. “Spring,” 
had in it all the airiness and freedom 
suggestive of the name; the young 
people put this spirit into it and it 
was one of the pleasing bits of the 
evening. “Nightingale and Rose,’ 
was perhaps the most difficult piece 
which the young singers handled, but, 
like the others, they did it well and 
with credit to their instructor. 
In presenting the diplomas to the 
graduates of the class of 1914, Miss 
Ethel Townsend and George Stevens 
Rust, Supt. John C. Mackin delivered 
a message to the young people which 
embodied a spirit of co-operation, a 
desire to work and a loyalty to home, 
school and community. He urged the 
graduates to continue the education 
they had started and expressed the 
belief that the instruction they had 
received in the local schools would fit 
them for further study. 
Rev. Dr. Rider’s address was an in- 
spirational guide to all young people. 
As is characteristic of the man, he is 
always in an optimistic frame of 
mind, and in his talk on “lhe Whole 
Man” he carried a message of en- 
couragement to his hearers. 
He said in part: “Thinking of the 
art of arts, the art of life, we should 
consider the rounding out of every 
quality of ourselves. We should 
aim at individual excellence; that sym- 
bol is not in the parallel of a broken 
circle—it is a circle of natural con- 
tinuity, with each point true to itself. 
The individual should also aim at 
concentration and should make 
thorough application to some single 
success, to the development of one 
particular talent. 
The broader your base of prepara- 
tion the higher you may build your 
pyramid of desire. ‘Turn from the 
dangerous theory of unbalanced lives 
and work out your own little problem 
for yourself. We want education 
which rounds the man into a circle of 
completeness. In whatever school, 
whether of travel, in a trade or in 
academic preparation the young man 
must grow into a complete circle, in- 
to a symmetrical fullness, a glorious 
circle. Education is not a. formal 
process obtained only by academic 
methods. Individual is as temper- 
ment and has its many forms. E,du- 
cation is an unfolding of all these, as 
in a tree or flower. Indeed, man is 
fed, sustained, by the absorption of 
the whole order of things about him. 
Rev: Mri. Rider .quoted+Charles 
Read in his saying, “Oh, you are the 
school marm and it is your duty to 
bring the children up like the flowers 
on a trellis.” 
Said. Mr. Rider: “Man is. not’ like 
this flower or tree. No one knows 
His oreathessetoua pSinelé act wee lty is 
not conformity but symmetry which 
is the natural order of our world and 
this is obtained only through this 
same individuality. We are not as 
lathes, turning out so many posts for 
the street——we are not estimated 
through someone’s spectacles. If we 
have not individuality we are not 
ourselves. The motto of the young 
should be, ‘I’m a man and nothing 
foreign to humanity and nothing that 
is foreign to me.’ 
“We want to know all we can. The 
shoemaker at his bench should know 
something of his last, the thread, the 
wax, and everything which goes into 
the making of his shade Tust so with 
the young man. He wants to know 
a little something about everything, 
but he must specialize on some one 
particular thing.”
