President Charles A. Pease of Hart- ford, president. of the Connecticut State Chamber of Commerce, appoint- ed last week the following committee to arrange for the annual jouting: Charles M. Wealker of .New Haven, chairman, Charles A, Colley of Water- bury, J. €. Broatch of Middletown, R. LaMottee Russell of South Manche: ter and Herbert R. Branche of this city. At an invitation of the chatrman of the committee a meeting was held in New Haven uesday noon, preceded by a luncheon. Mr. Branche and Joseph T. Cruttenden, president of the East- ern Conn. Development committee and vice president of the State Chamber of Commerce, attended and extended an invitation to the state chamber of commerce to join with the Eastern Connecticut ~ Development _committee for their annual outing in Webster. The following invitation was extend- ed: To the Summer Outing Committee of the State Chamber of Commerce, June 17, 1916; Gentlemen: The We ster-Dudley Chamber of _Commerce and the Putnam Chamber' of Com- merce unite to entertain the Eastern Connecticut Development ~Committee and the Southbridge Board of Trade at an outing, Thursday, July 13, at Lake Chargoggagogsmanchaugagsowg- chargunagumgamaus. 'We cordially invite the Connecticut Chamber of Commerce to combine with us and hold their annual summer outing at the same time and place. The lake, which lies partly in Massachusetts and partly in-Connecticut, is a rare beaunty and of unusual historical in- terest and furnishes all the requisites for a_successful outing. Our joint committee will be glad to handle all details and we assure vou that we should be honored if this invitation be accepted. Respectfully yours, C. J. Harriman, secretary for the joint com- mittee. At the committee meeting in New Haven it was the consensus of opin- ion that the outing would be held at Cozy beach, New Haven, but owing to the tact and oratorical powers of the representatives from this section it was voted to unite with the Eastern Connegticut Development ~Committee and hold one of the greatest outings ever pulled off in this state and it is expected that from 600 to 1,000 will be in attendance. The event will un- doubtedly be one of the sreatest in eastern Connecticut and already spe- cial train service has been engaged. The special train will leave New London, taking in the New London Chamber, the Norwich Chamber, Dan- jelson, Willimantic, Putnam and then to the lake and will convey the mem- bers back after the onting. It has been arranged with the Optical Com- pany in Southbridge, one of the larg- est factories in the country to allow any one who may so desire to. inspect their big plant and 50 with the Gros- venordale company. ~Automobiles will be at the disposal of the picknicers to take rides through the beautiful sec- tion of Eastern Connecticut, including Wolf Den, Thompson and Brooklyn, all noted as residential summer plac- es. The committee in charge has al- 50 arranged to have in service a boat cn the lake which will convey about 50 passerigers and as the lake is 10 miles long a delightful ride on the lake may be_anticipated. In the line of amusements one of the chief attractions wil be a real base- ball game fhis. year between two pro- fessional teams. A Rocky Point caterer has been en- gaged to serve and they promise to Dut up one ofthe finest bakes ever. Already phamplets containing histori- cal sketches of the early settlers and carly settlement of Eastern Connecti- cut are being prepared. Three bands, the Putnam band, Southbridge ‘and Webster, besides Tubbs band which the local chamber intend taking, have been -arranged for and will be an- nouncea later. On next Tuesday in Danlelson, the Eastern Connecticut Development Committee will hold is usual Jung meeting, preceded by a dinner and ar- rangements will be made for the great event that will put Eastern Connecti- cut on the map. .

Classmates: Four years have now passed since we f’t assembled here as juniors. ‘What has happene@ within that time will alwdys be fondly kept in our memories. Now that it is over it seems to have passed like a dream. As we branch off into different paths of life let us ever keep in mind that whatever steps we take we must ac- complish _ things honorable afd worthy, things that will bring glory to our schcol so that we may be proud to say, “He or she was a classmate of mine.” Although for the class this is a day of separation still let us throughout our lives think of one an- other as we do of our brothers and sisters and let us always be cheerful helpers in case of need. Diplomas Presented. Just before presenting the diplomas to_the class Principal Henry A. Tir- Tell spoke as_follows: Mempbers of the Graduating Glass: Education is iife long--a journey of many. stages. . Today we celebrate tiie completion of one stage of your education. For four years you have had an oppomfunity to study under skilful guidance, the thoughts and deeds .of the great leaders of man- kind. Your own powers and ideals have been uplifted, we trust, by this course of study. In summing up what these four years should mean to you T would re- mind you that your usefulness in life ‘will depend even more on how you employ your powers than on the abil- ity and knowledge you may acquire. Human knowledge from its very na- ture is ever changing, ever new. But wisdom is permanent, enduring. Wis- dom is born of knowledze and charac- ter. You must have wisdom as well as knowledge. You must not oniy think, you must be. Be honorable, be earnest, be what you know you ought to be. The Class Gift. The class gift, $50, was presented by the president, William J. Stanley.
