The rear end of the hall bore the junior class banner with " '9?. frorsum Sursnm" on it. Miss Charlotte H. Walker, president of the class, made au exoelleut presiding oöicer aod introduued each number of the program in a olear and distinct manner. The Chequamegou orchestra furnished the musio and it is ueedless to say tb at it was good. Mr. Voorheis' oration, "Tbe new womau," was a good one btrt giveu in a mechaDÍoal manner. Miss Durand's class posni would have been better appreciated had she been the possessor of a strouger voice. Fred M. Longnecker's essay "Shucks, " was delivered fi'om manuscript. It was well thought out and received considerable applause. Miss Florence G. Spence made the presentation of the class memorial - Prof. Perry's portrait - in a short but neat speech. The class song by Miss Christine M. Lilley,sung by the class, was a dainty bit of verse, which.is more thau could be said for the singing of it. The class history and class propheoy by Ralüh H. VanCleve aud Miss Barbara Burt, were the best nutubers 011 the program and were f uil of witty allusions to the professors and scholars.
