Higgins Says Our Will Threatens End of Hun GRAMMAR SGHOGL EXBRCISES 116 is Diplomas Awarded to Graduates At Fox’s Theater—Essays Do Cred- it to Boys and Girls and to Fac- ulty. The graduation exercises of the Prevocational Grammar school, held this morning at 9:30 o’clock, in the were most inspiring and uplifting. As has been the case atall similar events held, in this city this vear, the patriotic spirit prevailed throughout the interesting program arranged for the occasion. Diplomas were presented to 446 graduates, by Edward M. Pratt, member of the school committee. Richard T. Hig- gins, of Winsted, of the public utili- ties commission, who was the speal- er, addressed the class on the subject uppermost in the minds of all true American patriots, giving a general resume of the war since its com- mencement and trying to impre upon the minds of his hearers their various duties essential to the winning of the war. One statement made by him which brought forth loud ap- plause, is given in part as follow: “Although Germany can operate guns which are able to shoot missiles 75 miles, we are building a great gun out of the very fibres of American cit- izenship that will shoot the death knell from the very shores of the United States into the heart of Ber- lin.”” The decorations were effective. Two large American flags were draped to form a back-ground for the stage on which was seated the speakers. Ferns and wild flowers were used in abundance. One featnre which was especially noticeable was the manner in which the girl mem- bers of the class were attired. Kach wore a white middy and the ef- fect was quite pleasing as the class marched to the seats reserved for in the center aisle keeping step with “The Feder march played by the Prevocational Grammar school or- chestra.

Hill, pas- torr of the South Congregational church. Advice to Graduates. In opening his talk, Mr. Higgins congratulated the city of New Britain for having as a part of its citizenship this bright cla of 1918. To the rclass he said, ‘“Whatever you do, let it be the glory of your future lives. On all occasions be true and faithful in the performance of your dutie: He then spoke of the present situa- tion in which our country finds itself toda, pointing out that viewpoin are constantly undergoing changes— that problems will have to be solved anew by the boys and girls of tomor- row. ‘‘The country,” he said, “is at war and with the allied nations is engaged in a titanic struggle against the autocracy of Furope, dishonor and degradation.” The speaker went back 1914 when the imperial Prussianized government of Furope, together with ‘the Central powers, declared war on respected countries of the world, and in only a few days over-ran the small countries including Belgium, Serbia and others, and entered northern France. ‘““Men, women and <children,” he said, “would rather have given up their lives a hundred times than to undergo the tortures which they have had to undergo at the hands of Prussians.” America, he pointed out, did not want to enter the struggle, but was forced into it. “We have gone into it,”” Mr. Higgins said, “fighting for the principles of humanity, we have gone into it with clean hands. It is pleasing to hear the promises, from time to time, of victory and peace. This is not casi ined.
