Contrary to previous custom, the class of '91 held clara day exercises.Tuesday, in the high school hall, instead of at Whitmore Lake. The room was prettily decorated with flowers and with festoons of maize and red, the official colore of '91. After a musical selection by the Chequamegon orchestra the class president, Claude J. Price, gave a brief and graceful address. The orator, James S. Handy, of this city, taking as his subject the class motto, nil sint labore, showed that neither success nor happiness could be gained in life except by severe labor Besides labor.character is demanded.for labor alone cannot make the perfect man. The poem of Miss Genevieve Kittredge of this city, was a pratty conceit.

Sterling St John, of Highland, gave the class history. His pen picture of "Miroi," which name he applied to the composite photograph of the class, was good. Miss Winifred Orr, of Ann Arbor, read the class essay. She urged the necessity of cherishing high ideáis, choosing the right callingand persevering in the chosen work of life. Miss May E. Taylor, of this city, read the class prophecy. The metre was good, the style graceful and the hits at individuals taking. The exercises closed with the singing of the class song, by Miss Donna M. Pinckney, to the tune of "Auld Lang Syne." THE BAJfQUET. Kainy weather did not deter the class from attending the banquet at Whitmore Lake. They were chaperoned by Mesdames A. A. Stanley, C. E.
