‘“Love’s Old Sweet Song’” and “The 
Evening Wind” proving especially 
popular. 
The address of the evening was 
made by Prof. Otis E. Randall, dean 
of Brown University, on “Some 
Neglected Obligations | Connected 
with School Work.” He discussed 
various phases of educational work 
dealing in particular with the criti- 
cisms of methods, attitude of pupil 
and teacher towards work, showing 
that the chief object of the school is 
to cultivate the qualities that will lead 
to greater efficiency in any line of 
life work. He showed clearly t that 
all scholastic honors are vain unless 
one can face life squarely and hon- 
estly. In his discussion of teachers 
he said they must be in close touch 
with affairs of the world, show the 
application of their theories and put 
as much snap into their work as the 
modern business man has learned 
do. 
The girls of the 1915 class are to 
be congratulated upon their pretty 
and simply made sirlish looking 
dresses. 
The graduation reception and 
dance is to be held this evening in the 
Town hall.
