THE HIGH SCHOOL HERALD 15 CLASS DAY EXERCISES. ADDRESS OF WELCOME. Members of the School Board, Superintend¬ ent, Teachers, Undergraduates, Parents and Friends:— It is with pleasure that I, in behalf of the Class of 1924, welcome you here this even¬ ing. Every class that enters High Scfool has for its goal the day when it will graduate, when each member will receive a diploma t signifv his successful completion of the work laid out by the school. This was true of our class, and now that we are about to attain that object, one expects to find us all very happy. But this is not. entirely true. Graduation, besides the feeline of triumph, brings wicn it the realizaton that the happiest day of our lives are at an end. People c ay thst work in High School is a forerunner of one’s labors in later life, but let the pupil remem¬ ber that in life’s school he does rot have the knowledee and experience of teachers at hand to help with some problems that seems too difficult for him o solve. Then he will have but his own knowledge, ob¬ tained from these teachers, at the lowest o prices—attention. But this change has to come and we be¬ lieve we are prepared for it. The program to-night is an example of the bright side of our school life whereas the graduation ex¬ ercises to-morrow night will endeavor to present the more serious side. Let me assure you once more, dear friends, that we are glad you have come here to-night and we hope our program will repay you for your effort. Joseph Conrry, ’24. -(o)- CLASS SONG.

16 THE HIGH SCHOOL HERALD to leave some token to show our apprecia¬ tion of their interest in us and of our affec¬ tion for the school. This year a Debatimr Club has been or¬ ganized. composed of members of the three upper classes. Its purpose is to practice speaking and parliamentary law. As the years pro by this dub will grow in size and power. The members will grain training in clear thinking: as well as in speaking before an audience and thorougrh information on many subjects. Class spirit will be in¬ creased through +he who’esome rivalry of the debators. Therefore in behalf of the Class of 1924, T present this silver cup to the W. L. H. S., honin ' to encourage the minds to take grreater interest in debating. Each year this cun is to be enerraved wi h the name and class of the best debator in the school. We hope that all members of the school will derive an incentive to noble school spirit and always remember the class of 1924 Nellie Connolly, ’24. - fo) - ACCEPTANCE OF THE GIFT. In behalf of the School and the Debatin ' Societv T wish to evnress our thanks and. apnreciation for this beautiful g’ft. We all feel that the Class of 1924 has used good judgment in selecting this grift. It will always be before us to inspire us to do our verv best in debating and will pro¬ mote our class and school spirit. A Debating: Society is of great value to a school. It encourages the pupils to take an interest in outside affairs and by debatin ' with other High Schools it helps to raise the standard of the school. A Debatin ' Soc : ety trains the members in public speaking: and enables them to discuss inte ' ligrently the important affairs of the day. Whenever we look at this cun we shall be reminded of this class. We shall be in¬ terested in their welfare and hope that they wMt always be loyal to Windsor Locks Higrh School.

Y.. Schenectady—Joseph Conroy, president of the New York National Bank, wi’l talk on “How to hold a meeting in Parliamentary order. That ' s a good sub- mot for Joe to talk on, as back in 1924 our ’ass meetings were held in any kind but Parliamentary order. W. E. A. F., New York—Results of Candy Fatin ' Contest, held bv Kibbe Bros. Kat.h- rvn Sweeney leads by a majority of two pounds. We know you will win Kathrvn. as you could outdo any of your friends when it c«me to eating candy. Kav was fond of all kinds of candy, even a lollypop, and we always predicted a sweet future. W. O. R.. Newark, N. J.—Lister Davies was elected supervisor of the “Kellogg Corn Flake” nlant in New Jersey at the meeting this afternoon. Good luck. Les. We a 1 know vou would some day be at the head of the Kelloggs.” W. B. Z.. Springfield—Miss Agnes Flana- e-an. one of Connecticut ' s best politicians. wil 1 talk on “Why we should have better roads between Windsor Looks and Spring- field.” We always knew. Aggie, that you looked out for the convenience of the mo- tor : sts. W. N. A. C.. Boston, Mass.—Charles Ken¬ nedy formerly of Windsor Locks. Connecti¬ cut. broke all records for adding long col¬ umns of figures in a very short time. We always knew you would succeed in account¬ ing. as in our Commercial Arithmetic Class you were very clever in addition. W. J Z . New York—Mrs. Olds, formerly Mary Caffrev, private secretary of John Wanamaker. will speak on “Wasting time.” Frank, do you remember when Mary worked at Olds Whinples,’ the president of the comnanv saw her primping, up and re¬ marked. “You are wasting too much time fixing up.” and she answered, “Indeed I don’t think I’m wasting time. I’ve been bo r e nn ' v six months and I’m engaged to the Junior partner already.” W. J. A. R.. Providence, Farm Reports— George Lashway. one of the leading farmers in New England, is now manager of the largest plantations in Warehouse Point, Conn. He has two hundred women and fifty men under his charge. I bet George is happy among so many ladies. Don’t vou think so? He was always in his glory when there were girls around him. W. A. A.
