16 PARIS HIGH SCHOOL YEAR BOOK tion for future success. Mr, Butcher in announcing the presentation of scholarships, thanked the donors and expressed his regret that Mr. Taylor had not lived to see his gift presented. The Helen Dickson Scholarship was presented by the doner, the I.O.D.E. Scholarship by Mrs. E. O. Apps, and the others by the principal. fFor list of scholarships and winners see page fourteen. Adam Miller delivered the valedictorian's address. On behalf of his fellow graduates, he spoke of his gratitude to the teachers of the school, and bade farewell to the remaining students. He made mention of the happy years of high school life with all the struggles for knowledge, the opportunity to develop personality and character, the friendships made, and the personal relations of the staff and students, all working for the good of the school. To those who remain he handed over the duty of car- rying on the tradition of honour and good sportsmanship, In conclusion, he said that the graduates will remain in spirit members of the school. It was a worthy and well expressed address. The high light of the program was a three-act comedy Green Stock- ings. In introducing the play, Mr. Butcher thanked Miss McKenzie, who trained the cast, Mr. Robinson, the Tait Optical Co., Mr. Coates, Mr. Cum- mings and all those who in numerous Ways helped to make the play a success. The play was extremely well done, and it would be most difficult to chose a star from a cast of all-stars . The costumes and setting were all that could be desired, and the interpretation of the roles was most clever. The list of characters was as follows: Colonel Smith, Alex Barron, Wm. Farrady, Wm. McCrowg Celia, the unmarriageable, Phyllis, the youngest, Evelyn, fLady Trenchardb, Madge fMrs. RockinghamJ,daugh- ters of Wm. Farrady, Elleene Munroe, Elsie Black, Ruth Gilbert, Grace Dennis, Mrs. Chisholm Farrady, of Chicago, Aunt Ida, Ruth Durham, Robert Tarver, Douglas Moss, Jimmy Raleigh, Jack Wilking Henry Steel, Emory Knillg Admiral Grice, James Elsong Martin, the butler, Donald Hickson. The appla1R' of the audience was proof of the success of the play. Between acts, Norman Seip, accompanied at the piano by Donald Simmons, played several violin selections. The Commencement closed with singing of the National Anthem. While the audience dismissed, the graduates, actors and ushers enter- ed Second Form, which was transformed from a classroom into a recep- tion hall. Mauve, chrysanthemums, yellow candles, ferns and gleaming silver made an attractive background for the guests at the reception given by the staff, Coffee, sandwiches and cakes disappeared with marvellous rapidity, while old acquaintances were renewed, plans for the future dis- cussed and present occupations announced. The friendly, happy atmosphere of the re-union will remain long in the minds and hearts of those who were .fortunate enough to be present. I am sure that the graduates of 1935 are convinced that theirs was the best Commencement of all. Dorothy B. Rae, B.A.
