Class Day of  the Warren High School

The graduaitng class of the Warren High School gave a very pleasant entertainment at the Presbyterian church on last Friday evening.  The class of the present year consists of the Misses Angie Peck, Sally H. Woods, Rita E. Hucke, Jenny M. Adams, Rosa A. Barringer, Grace H. Reid, Louise M. Dietz, Josie C. DeForest, Etta S. Adams, Clara J. Biggin, and Masters Burt Downs, John S. Cadwalader, Frank B. Minor and Tryon G. Dunham.

If this year's class is a sample of what our High School is doing for us, we think Warren is to be congratulated.  For in substantial attainments, refined deportment, and the pleasing manner in which they acquitted themselves in public, elicited remarks of commendation from all present.  Miss Angie Peck, the President, in her opening address acquitted herself in a highly creditable manner, that would have done honor to even a more experienced speaker.  The Latin recitation from Ovid, by Mr. J. S. Cadwalader, and German recitation, by Miss Louise M. Dietz, showed great profieiency in these branches of language, and the oration by Miss Barringer contained many points of excellence, seldom heard in school exhibitions.  The Class Chronciles by Miss Rita Hucke and Miss Sally Woods, imitating Biblical language, were well prepared and highly entertaining to the audience.  The musical part of the programme was excellent.  Mrs. Philips, Mrs. Kneelaud, Messrs. H. M. Stone and G. Byard representing our home talent in several well rendered peices.  But the audience were treated to a musical feast rarely enjoyed in Warren, by Miss Emma Howe, of Boston, who kindly consented to sing on this occasion.  At the conclusion of the exercises the class partook of a banquet in the church parlors, when toasts, responses, etc., which were indulged in, added sparkling wit and fun to the enjoyment of the occasion.
