Gllazs Night Early in year the President of the United States issued a proclamation setting aside the year 1935 as the three-hundredth anniversary of the be- ginning of secondary education in our country. He requested that second- ary schools and others make suitable observation throughout the year. As part of the Tercentenary observation in Houghton High School this year, the Senior Class voted to forego the conventional type of class night exercises and present a play suggested by the National Education Associa- tlon. The title of the play was Modern Education on Trial. Under the cap- able direction of Miss Lees, the play proved to be very successful. The scene of the play was ln a court room. The so called fads and frills of education, impersonated by members of the class, were put on trial to de- termine their justifiability. Several of the witnesses presented exhibits of various phases of school work as evidence. The class night program was as follows: PROGRAM Processlonal-Tannhauser March ......... ...,,....
