THE ECHO 7 GRADUATION ACTIVITIES HONORS FOR FOUR YEARS Commercial College 1. Priscilla Stanley 1. Richard Kunan 2. Barbara Sears 2. Mary Smith 3. Rose Moran 3. William Sands 4. Ingrid Caspersen 4. Hilton Murdock 5. Dorothy Crosby 5. George Mullin Class Motto: “Deeds Not Words” Class Flower: Gardenia Class Colors: Green and Silver The first of the graduation activities of the Class of 1937 was its boat ride to Provincetown on June 12. The next event was Class Day, held in the School Hall on Wednesday, June 16. William Sands, president of the class, was chair- man and in general charge. After the president had welcomed the guests, the Class History was read by Rose Moran, the Class Statistics by Hilton Murdock, the Class Prophecy by George Mullin, the Class Gifts by William Sands and Dorothy Crosby, the Class Will by Ingrid Caspersen. The Class Ode, written by Priscilla Stanley, then was sung by the class after which the senior class, the junior class, and invited guests went outside the building where the ivy was planted by William Sands who then turned over the spade to William Woods, president of the Junior Class, who gave a speech of acceptance. The exercises closed with the singing of “Charles Sumner,” the school song. A new venture this year was a class banquet held in the School Hall. The graduation exercises were held on June 22, in the Town Hall at 8 o’clock. The speakers’ program this year was dedicated to the memory of Horace Mann, often called the father of American education. The four speakers were Priscilla Stanley, who spoke on “Life and Times of Horace Mann”; Mary Smith, “Ideas and Ideals of Horace Mann”; Barbara Sears, “Horace Mann’s Letter to the School Children”; and Richard Kunan, “Horace Mann’s Influence on American Education.” The musical part of the program consisting of glee clubs and or- chestra was under supervision of Miss Murphy.
