INSPIRING PROGRAM AT EVENING SCHOOL P. F. King Suggests Graduates Take Night High School Course In spite of the storm the auditorium of the Central Junior High school was three-quarters filled with parents, teachers and friends of the class of 1924, New Britain eveming schools, at graduation exercises last night. The principal speaker of the eve- ning was Prosecuting Attorney Joseph G. Woods. “Character Building” was his subject and he traced the history of the world down through the ages, showing just what great men havo stood out in the pages of history be- cause of their character. He said that every international crisis provides a man adapted for cop- ing with the situation at hand. Na- poleon, Caesar, Charlemagne and Lin- coln were among these mentioned. Speaking of Lincoln he said that his ambition was not overshadowed by sclfish motives, He urged the mem- Lers of the class to use Lincoln as a model of character, “Character means self-sacrifice, self- voise, self-knowledge and self-power,"” asserted the speaker. He explained it as being “the very magnitude of God.” Nature intended life té be an in- dividual problem. E.ch one is dif- ferent and here is where character is active in the performance of duty,” said Mr. Woods, The processional march was rend- ered by the Central Junior High school orchestra and then a chorus, “The Maple Leaf Forever,” was sung Tdward Broff, president of the class, gave the address of welcome, in which he expressed the hope that the | class would get together again in the future, A vocal solo “On Venlce Waters,”™ by Clara Jane Sivickl, and a recitation “America For Me,” by Helen E. Wasil, were well rendered.

L. Train Wreck New York, Apriif—Fireman John | Quinn was killed and 15 persons pere injured when an elevated train crashed into another at a Long Island | City station during a blinding snow storm late yesterday. Quinn, a member of the city fire | department, was a passenger on a stalled train, and was scated directly | behind the motorman's cab in the rear car, i The accident eccurred on |stretch of suburban elevated line |used by trairs of both the Brook- | |lyn-Manhattan Transit company and the Interborough Rapid Transit Co. A train of the latter company | smashed its, way into the rear of the B. M. T. train, which had stopped at |the station to take on and dlscharge ' | passengers. Roth trains were made | up of wooden cars and Manhattan- bound. With the day drawing to an end, |great gusts of snow and sleet ob- scured the view of the motorman and clogged the rails with half-iced sleet which made it impossible for him to bring the heavy train to a sudden stop when he glimpsed the forward train when within but a few feet of it. | The' forward end of the second {train ploughed through the rear car of the first as though it were so much paper. Men and women home-goers, jammed in the cars of | both trains, were thrown head-long and their cries rose above the grind- ing roar of the smashed wood. Emergency calls brought two ambu- |lances and 15 men and women who had been injured in more or less de- | gree, were removed to two nearby hospitals.
