The stage arrangement was tasty and the class motto, ‘‘By Effort, not by Craft,” was neatly suspended above the stage, and the effect heigtened by a back ground made of three ‘‘Old Glories.” All members of the class acquitted themselves with much credit, and gave to the audience a very good impression of their ability and shows Prof. Hitch- c<»ck to have turned out a class of which he may be be justly proud.
