PRESIDENT'S ADDRESS. Ladies and Gentlemen—the class of ’06 wishes to extend to you a hearty welcome to its class day exercises. This crowded audience shows your sympathetic spirit directed toward us and clearly bespeaks the interest taken in our wc-'-r. In closing our High school course we desire to express our thanks to the Beard of Education, to the teachers, and to the patrons of the school for their efforts in behalf of education in general and of interest in the class of '06 in particular. We are glad tonight to take part in our class day exercises, but most of all do we rejoice that we .have completed the prescribed course in our High school, not because of simply being able to say that, we have finished our High school course, not because of the amount of knowledge stored up during these four years of earnest work, not because of what we have done in the past; but because of what we can do that we could not do before, because of what we are that we were not before, because of the fact that we have increased skill and power so that we may be able to do our share in the great work of life. We entered our High school in tbs year 1902 with an enthusiastic spirit. There were eighteen of us in number, one of the largest classes that have ever attended our school, but l'ke all other classes, some were obliged to leave us and have become scattered as down by the wind until we have left a class of nine. Schoolmates to you we wish to ex-presr our heartfelt! hhanks for we have appreciated the many little deeds you have done to make our school life pleasant and we are greatly indebted to you for the assistance you have rendered toward the presentation of our play. We sincerely hope you all may be ab’e to resume your work in our new school building next year. Teachers, your assistance has been unlimited in doing all in your power, not only to instruct us in our school duties, but also in lending a willing hand to help us to prepare for our exerc'ses. We can hardly express our thanks to you, but we hope some day to be able to show our gratitude. Our play which we are going to present tonight is entitled “The Modernized Merchant of Venice.” We thought it a very amusing play and although it contains several jokes applying to people here, they are not said intentionally, and we sneerely hape that they will be taken in good spirit. The working up of th‘s play has caused us a great deal of work, nevertheless we have enjoved it and we sincerely hope you will enjoy it as it is presented to you tonight; and allow me again in behalf of cur class to extend to you a most sincere welcome to our class day exercises. TONE WORTHING.

Short History of the Oakfield School. High ♦ ♦ : ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ The Oakfield High School was founded in 1888. The first class was graduated in 1891 with nine members. In 1891, the basement was fitted up for the Primary room. In 1898, the interior of the building was remodeled and a room for the Grammar department was made on the second floor. Since then it has remained the same, but we are looking forward with pleasant anticipations to what it will be next fall. Our school had Hit a three years course until 1903, when the fourth year was added. The course was proposed but defeated in the years of 1900 and 1902. The largest classes which were ever graduated from our school contained sixteen members and were the classes of 1897, 1898 and 1900. The smallest classes ever graduated had five members. These were the classes of 1895 and 1904. The largest enrollment of the school was in 1897 when there were fifty-five enrolled. The smallest enrollment was in 1902 when there were only thirty-three enrolled. The average enrollment is forty-five. We have reason to be proud of our high school for its graduates have obtained honors in the higher schools. We sincerely hope that it will be still more improved so that its pupils will have much better advantages than we have enjoyed. J. I.
