But she has great need of sons with clear heads and fearless bearts to pre- serve her self respect as well as her prestige, ler prosperity as well as her existence,\ At the conclusion of the oration of Mr. Millar the orchestra rendered an- other selection. CLARENCE LYON BARNES. \The Man of the Hour,\ was the sub- ject of a well delivered oration by Mr. Burnes. 'The production showed care- {ul study in its preparation. He said in part as follows: \The stately march of History re- veals America's progress, She (hns passed through crisis which have threatened to undermine her Constitu- tion at every critical moment. \The Man of the Hour.' is able in talent and ready in enthusiasm to uphold, protect and prevent the destruction of this mighty Nation, \The glory of an orator perishes with 'the generation which heard his voice.

Men of the Hour left this terrestrialorbh and sought the shining world on high. , Yet the sad event is still remembered with increased sorrow. Their names : will never die, so indelibly are they stumped upon the hearts of every true American Patriot.\ ETHEL CALDWELL HOLLEY. \Undine was the subject of a care- fully prepared essay by Miss Holley. 'The young lady recited her production | very well. It was in part as follows: \Faith in the realm outside of sense and reason no longer possesses the hu- nan mind. No longer do mysterious beings hover between this world and | that which is invisible, The faries hive left their moonlight games; the witch, her hemlock grove, and even the ; churchyard ghost are now at rest. But not so was it in the days that are be- hind us, 'Then the Gnomes, the | Slyphs, the Nalads, peopled Earth, Air mil Water; then Ariel, that trickey sprite, moved among men, the Ban- shee threw her mystic tides over the carth, and the White Lady of Avernal wavered n misty vision, on the Scot- tish Heaths. In those days lived Un- dine the nymph who left her watery home and joined herself. to a human, that she might gain an immortal soul. \The young lady concluded her pretty essay as follows: \As the little band 'of mourners sur- rounded the knight's last resting-place, a weeping figure veiled in white, ap- peared among the black-robed attend- ants, When they turned to leave the grave the mysterous figure was gone; but in the place where she had knelt, a little silver spring gushed up from the ground and danced and rippled away until it almost wholly encireed Sir Huldbrand's grave. - Thus even in death the gentle Undine held her hus- band in her fond embrace.\ ERNEST B.

They have performed great tasks but these tasks are, to a great extent, due to the fact that ,, prac- tice makes perfect.\ Every man has to follow if he wishes to lead; whether he shall lead or not, depends upon the way he follows.\ Waltz Wizard of the Nile was rend- ered by the orchestra after Mr. Cary had delivered his oration, EVERT OSTRANDER LANSING. Oration \Unknown\ by Mr. Lansing was in part as follows: Time rushes on. Days succeed days years roll into centuries. Each year brings to light new dis- coveries, new questions, new men,. 'The present soon becomes old, the past is forgotten, while we all eagerly look to the future. As we look back over the years we see, scattered here and there through the ages, a few names that shine with greater lustre than the others. . But there are not many. Compare these names with the great mass of the people and we see that the world has been moved by the people always under the leadership of a few master minds. But who are these men? How did they obtain their power? Does not history teach that these were the men who, \While their companions slept, were toiling upward through the night?\ . If the pen: is mightier than the sword by which our ancestors defended and built the most enlightened nation upon which the sun has ever shone, can we not if we only will, by the ballot pro- tect and save that nation? a But shall we wait for some leader who is at present unknown? No. Let each man, caring nothing for the taunts and sneers of others, do his duty and the part which comes to him. KATIE SLICKNEY RANSOM. Miss Ransom had chosen as her sub- ject, \Humor fin Definitions.\ The young lady appeared very well on the stage. The following is a brief synopsis of her production: Two gentlemen, one a very witty man, the other a grave and sedate clergyman, were conversing on general topics. In tlie course of the conversa- tion they drifted upon the subject of definitions, and the minister explained to the other the difficulty of forming go accurate definition. Up to this time they had been discussing religious ques- tions, so the minister suddenly turned to his companion and said: \Now there is religion, we all know what it is, but who can put it into words that will con- vey to the reader an accurate idea of what it expresses to him?\ Imagine the surprise and consternation of the reverend gentleman, when his friend, always equal to the occasion, with quick and ready wit,replied, \Religion is an insurance against fire, in the next world, for which honesty is the best policy 'To tnose who occasion a laugh with an impromptu definition we owe our heartfelt appreciation for they not only enjoy life themselves but also con- tribute to the enjoyment of others for \Laugh and the world liughs with you\ \Weep and you weep alone.\ HARRY JAY THAYER. Mr, Thayer next delivered an ora tion on \Turning Points.\ 'The follow- ing is a synopsis of the graduates pro- duction: \The established law of this universe is life; then death, action, then rest. How short life is? For a few moments this being is then is not. What we in- tend to do in this Ife we must do now. Now ? yes now. There is no future. It is an eternal now. 'The hours that are passed are pot ours. 'Those of the fu- ture are not but those of to-day are. We know what life has to give, and wliat it canot give. By every man there is a work to be done. 'The rule is inflexible. _ * \There is a task which awaits him, the man and the hour approach. Is the man equal to the occasion ? Turning points come to those only who are pre- pared to meet them. Preparation is every thing. Now is the time to pre- pare. 'The number of turning points may be great, but few there are pre- pared to meet them. \We want men at the present time who will forget the dreams of selfish ambition and glorious ease, who will be prepared, who will be true to the voice of duty, and who will have that heart felt patriotism, that heartfelt re- ligion which when united will do our land the good she sorely needs and alone confur pure lasting fame.\ At the conclusion of the oration of Mr. Thayer the orchestra again rend- erer a selection after which the class poem was recited. FLORENCE TERRY. Miss Terry had been selected class poet and she acquitted herself very ably. 'The young lady had the closest attention of the large audience. Her style of writing will be seen from.the following verses. The subject of her poem was Vincit Qui Se Vincit: Far remote from noise and bustle, And the restless roar of trade; In that strangely silent city Where the peaceful dead are laid. In a dim secluded corner, Near a grey old crumbling wall, Over which the apple blossoms Heavy with their perfume fall. Lies a low grave; long and grassy, And the stranger stops and stares: For the plain white stone that marks it Rudely, this inscription bears, Vincit qui se vineit. . But the world-that col@'eyed monster, Smiles but on the chosen few. Fame, elusive, scornful, fading, Vanished, as he nearer drew. And he found the goddess Fortune Chary of her golden store, As with honeyed words she lured him Nearer to dishonors door. tC And his right hand's greedy fingers, Closed upon the treasure bright, While the other, softly, firmly, sin“: the door on truth and right. The story done, the crickets, Burst into their shrillest trill. While beyond us in the meadow, Mourned a lonely Whip-poor-will. And the last red ray of sunset Slanted from the old church,spire, Trembling on the dingy headstone, Turning its letter into fire. Vincit gui se vincit. a EDWIN COOPER POMEROY. f The class history of Mr. Pomeroy was fully as well prepared and deliver- ed as the productions of former his- torians. 'The limited space will not al- low the publishing in full of the class history, poem and phophecy. The au- dience frequently interrupted the speaker by hearty applause. A brief snyopsis of his remarks is as follows: \History is the science of the past, its two requisites are a scientist and a past. 'The former is before you, the latter is behind us. And such a past! Now take the variable past of a single individual with its various and sundry vicessitudes, mutliply it by the con- stant quantity 53. Keep that result in mind. Then borrow an idea from Oliver Wendell Holmes, and find that each person has three pasts. The past known to the world, the past as he himself thinks it is, and the past known only to the maker. Now we have a simple example in arithmetic, 8x53, with what a steupendous result, exactly 159 histories, or still more startling, one history, with one hund red fifty-nine heroes. This illutsrious class needs no intro- duction. Its history will be handed down to future generations, and will be as lasting in the hearts of men as, that of Ighn L. Sullivan, the Lexow Committeé, or the great sind only John Raines. . After the above introduction the his- torian described the \many pleasant in- cidents of the school year just past and in a very witty manner brought each member of the class into the produc- tion. ANNA GERTRUDE GORMAN. The Class Prophecy of Miss Gorman was a master piece. The young lady displayed rare talent. She weaved in- to the production a prediction of the future of each member of the class. Several of the witty remarks of the young lady when referring to the fu- ture called forth loud applause. The following will illustrate her style of writing: . . In school days, we have read the mysterious yet beautiful story of the Grecian Sibyl, who in her forest home, carpeted her magic dwelling with leaves, and then, with prophetic vision, read in them the fates of those who consulted her Sibylline power. The descendents of this Sibyl inhabit now those haunts where nature is most la- vish,. 'The caves of the mighty catar- act of Niagara is the home of one, and she it was, who, present at that Arbor Day planting of the class tree of '96, read for leaves, the future of my class mates. And now I tell to you what was so clearly revealed to me. __ Corinne, our farewellest, who was so in Klined to go to Cornell has chang- ed her mind and will pursue a course in the Institute of Technology at Aus- tin. Florence is,a Miss Terry. But if she continues to \dabble\ in verse, she will become Alfred Austin's rival and the poetess of America. Charles is \in it to win.\ The wheels not in \our store,\ -but in close con- ; nection with his brain, will affect him 'so that he will be always \up and do- ing\ mischief. But the crowning act of his life will be the run to Olcott, where there will be a cool, shady Lockwood to receive him. Bertha will go tandem as wife.\ If such an unfortunate thing should occur to mar the happiness of her life, still she. would not be Scott-free for all the. world. ® The prophetess having adopted the profession of a foreteller of events is unfit for any other judging from the unappreciative way in which her first feeble attempt has been received, she will 'be obliged to wander about with a band of gypsies, for \the prophet-is not without honor save in his awn country.\ CORINNE HERRICK AUSTIN. . Valedictory, Miss Austin. concluded the delivering of the essays and oration. The first honor student acquitted her self very creditably and recited a well compiled essay. Afttr an appropriate introduction she turned to the Board of Education and: the Senior Department faculty and said as follows: \How greatfully we think of you of the world's work, the peoples choice, who have paused in your busy lives that we might be taught that which you 'know so well to do. We realize that you have given your time, your thoughts, your hearts' best interest to us. We appreci- ate too, the strong true guidance of him who marks the way of learning from the earliest years of school life to this last moment. \You whose hands have taught us day by day to lay on the colors to un- ravel all the knots, now say the task is henceforth «our own. With loving thoughts of that past help, with many a doubtful pausing, in earnest we be; gin our work. \Of Time's great web we know our lives must form a part, must be woven in that fabric where our predecessors deeds are woven. We cannot hope to so direct them that each will form a pict ure by it§elf; like those forever famous ones that we have seen. \Though now our threads diverge, though they may taugle and grow dull, though they may only form the outline of a picture, or be woven in the back- ground, et us remember how once they mingled, let us remember how we were taught to colour, to untangle; let us strive to keep Time's tapestry un- sullied, to offer for it. such hues as glow in Heaven etheral dome when Phoebus sinks to rest in the fleecy cloud traced west. _ At the conclusion of the essay of Miss Austin, Dr. Hayward introduced Eugene M. Ashley who delivered the address to the class. Mr. Ashley first explained to the audience that his at- tention would necessarily be bestowed upon the class, but that he would be appreciative of their attention. In sub- stance he said: \This is the first time in the hurry and rush of life that the orbits of our lives have come together. When I was asked by the Board of Education to deliver this address I was afraid that I could not do so. I thought, what is there for me to say? I have often heard persons of middle age, who have had 25 years experience in the world since their graduation, express the wish to be back where you are to-night, just entering upon the world. \If we could have the experience of:a quarter of a century, in the business world at the time- -of graduation what great success they would attain. < \How to acquire success in life is the, me, in the budding maple: occupation and Ing my usual health, the change for the thought which is in the minds of many. Young gentlemen, I should not choose the profession of the law. It has many alurements for the young man, but the profession is over-crowded as indeed is the case with most of the professions,. I had much rather choose medicine if I were in your places. That profession has become emanciated from the bonds which have bound it tight, and it has now a great scope. \The profession of journalism is one in which the students may obtain fame. power,. position. There is no denying the fact that the power of the press is abused. I admit that the influences of the. school room are potent, but not to be compared with thoseofthe press. The | daily papers reach the working. man, the man of middle age, the men who shape the history of the- country.. Sup- pose a wrong exists. The way to remedy it is through the daily papers.. \Be careful of your personal appear- ance as I have learned that it is a great factor in the impression made by a per- son.\ Dressing. the boys of the class he said in conclusion: Speak the truth, fear God and be gentleman. » R After the address to the class Dr. Hayward, the principal, presented the members of the class with their diplo- mas. In a few well chosen words the doctor spoke of the school year just ended and of the victory which had been attained by the graduates He said: \Take these diplomas and keep them always, and when in after years, you come to some undertaking in life which'seems$ hard for you, bring out your diploma and you can be the victor again.\ ' B The exercises were then conclude with the benediction which was pro- nounced by Rev. David T. Williams. THE RAIN STORM. At the conclusion of the exercises the large audience left the Opera House to find rain falling in torrents. Many of the ladies present had walk- ed to the exercises without umbrellas or other preparations for rain. Car- riages 'were in great demand and the street cars did a land office business. For nealy an hour after the conclusion of the exercises the corridors of the building were filled with anxious crowds waiting-for the rain to stop. . ~THE BANQUET, 'The members of the Class at once re- paired to the cafe of Miss Peck in Cen- tral Block, where preparation had been made for a banquet. At the head of the table was the president of- the class, Charles A. Upson, who proved to be a model toast master, upon several to respond and during the evening amused the graduates with several very well told. stories, Mayor Peterson responded to the toast \Our City.\ The official stated that the Union School was a credit to the city, and that all could be justly proud of the graduating class of 1896. ; 'The president of the Board of Edu- cation, H. S. Chapman, was the next to give a toast. He amused the company by telling a story and assured the graduates that they had just cause to be proud of their fine record while stu- dents in the public schools. ' Superintendent of Schools, Emmet Belknap, spoke briefly of the work of the public school and that he < liad watched the progress of those who comprised 'the _ present graduating class from the beginning of their school career; | : ' Prof. Chatles Randall responded: to the toast \The: Ladies.\ The teacher said many complimentary things about the fairer. sex and concluded with \Honored be women, especially the sweet girl graduate.\ j Mrs. Fowler, the preceptress, was next called on and in a few words thanked the students for the many kindnesses they had shown her and as- sured them all that she was at home to all of them at her pleasant residence on Prospect Street. ls 'The last toast of the evening was de- livered by William D. McNeil, who told of. some of the remarkable features of the graudating class. - His remarks were.well received and he was fre- quently interrupted by the applause of his class mates. e 'The company then stood up and gave the class yell and the yell of the Union School and the graudating exercises of the class of '06 were at a close. The only remaining festivity which the class now has in view is the reception which will be held in Odd Fellows Hall this evening. ‘ Would You Believe The Statement of Someone in Lock- port Quicker than Someone in Florida?
