This flag has always been raised indefense of liberty and humanity. Lookat its history the world knows it byheart. Never has it been an usurper,never has it crushed the weak or thelowly, never has it been in league withthe wrong, never has it waved in deris-ion over a conquered people. It hasalways seemed to say, "Let us bury thepast, let us turour swords into prun-ing hooks, let us have peace." Whatbirthright have we not in this proudsymbol of honor! Who would riot diefor it once he has lived beneath its pro-tecting folds! Who would not live forit, and by his life add luster to itsbeauty! v

And now worthy principal, the classof '98 tenders to the school this belovedemblem of our country. May it inspirein the hearts of those that are to fol-low us, the same sentiments that nowinspire us. May its presence in thishall greet the eyes of happy pupils thatwill sit here in years to come. Whenthe hand' of time has ruthlessly de-

stroyed its beauteous folds, the class of'98 will revisit the scenes of its youth,and put another in its place.

ing seated In a barouche that was mov-

ing towards the theater. Mr Dough-erty, a tall, dignified gentleman, withgold rimmed glasses and an aristocraticair, removed his high hat and smiled.His head was slightly bald. Seatednear him was a dignified little person-age, also wearing glasses. In her lapwas a beautiful maltese cat with a bowof red, white and blue ribbon aroundits neck. The carriage arrived at thetheater, I at the box office. The cur-tain rises; Mr Dougherty is on thestage; I in my seat. The play i3 "TheWeary Traveller." Mr Doughertyplaying the part of "Tired Tom." Agentleman to my right was greatlyplesed even before the play began."Just watch him." he says, "he's sonat-ural. He performs his part with thegreatest ease and perfection. One ofthe leading papers in Oakville says theplay ieof Mr Dougherty's conception,but that h secured a"friend to do thework. "Is he naturally easily fa-

tigued," I asked. "Generally he is,"was the answer, "although I've heardthat he once walked from Meriden toWaterbury." I watched the star veryclosely and found that he played hispart admirably. He did nothing ex-

cept what was absolutely necessary.The leading lady whom I have alreadymentioned was the subejct of conver-sation between a couple immediatelyIn front of. me. It happened that shewas formerly a Miss Julia Hills or Sillsof Waterbury. I am not ' an eaves-dropper, but occasionally one gets adrop In the ear. She was a classmateof Mr Dougherty's. Her part in theplay was a bard one. She was con-tinually urging her better half to dosomething that would startle theworld. - "Oh, the abiding faith of wom-an!" He replied that he didn't haveto, that he didn't want to, and that hewouldn't if he could. I 'had to laughat his nonchalant manner and easybearing under this severe ordeal. Inthe third act, Mr Dougherty rendereda German dialect piece, "Cut, cut be-

hind." Where had I heard that be-fore? The voice seemed so familiar andthe words came to me so readily thatI began to dip into the past."When snow and ice are. on the groundAnd merry sleigh bells jingle."

I heard that piece delivered at oneof the High school entertainments andby a very quiet young man whose namewas Dougherty. Can this be he, myold classmate? And why not? He wasalways theatrical and given to all kindsof original enterprises. "Where is thecity in which the illustrious star of theevening dwells when he is at home?"queried I of a stately Wolcott lady inevening dress to my left. "The bor-ough of Waterbury in the Naugatuck

alley has the distinguished honor ofIncluding him amoner her citizens," shesaid with a smile of infinite sweetness.I was on the right track. In the morn-ing I would call on Mr Dougherty andshake his hand. At a seasonable hourJ, together with a few friends, calledat the Occidental hotel and presentedmy card. I was told by an attendantto wait awhile as Mr Dougherty wastired and had given orders that heshould not be disturbed unless in caseof fire. This was so like him. I re-member the morning after the Trottbakery was burned, I didn't see him atschool all day, and I believed that noteven a fire would start him. In themidst of my reflections Neville enteredthe parlor and bowed low. He was al-

ways polite. "Are yon the star of lastevening," I asked as I bravely extend-ed my hand. "No I am the star of themorning, all the world was dark to meuntil I arose," said he as he graspedmy hand and smiled methodically."What in the world are yon doing inWolcott?" "I leave in half an hourwhere I act as toastm aster to-nig-ht atthe High school alumni banquet. Ofcourse you are going to be present, socome along with us and tell us all youknow about the old familiar faces.", Asthe carriage rumbled along I wasawakened from my reverie by thedriver's ."cut, cut behind." I openedmy eye but to find myself In the class-room. I looked around and there wasDougherty, his head in his hands, hardat work on his Cicero. :.

CLASS POEM.A goodly ship with salli outspi ead.

Weighed anchor one bright day,And with its freight of anxious hearts

Sailed gaily on her way.The wind came gently from the shore,

A haze hung o'er the lea;As proudly on her destined course,

he cleft the sunlit sea. '

Around her prow the waters danced, ,' And fieeked her sides wlih foam,While o'er her mast a rainbow smiled

From out Its azure dome.Boon sank the sun Into the deep ;

Soon died the cheering breeze, 'While darkness crept along the sails,

And settled o'er the seas.i

That night few words the silence broke.Tot these of hope were born

And bade each longing heart to waitThe coming of the morn.

The morn appeared all radiant, -

The wind blew from the west,And swift the bark skimmed merrily .

O'er, the ocean's surging crest.Again 'twas night, but what a change!

All bsarts on board beat high,For' every star In glorious heaven 'Was shining in the sky.

O power of hope to soothe our cares.And dissipate our fears.

What were the world without thy smile?A dreary vale of tears.

Days came and went, nay, years sped pa, ,

All fear was well nigh past;The gallant ship through storm and sun,

Now neared her port at lastHow danced each heart on deck and bridge-Whe-

o'er the distant blue.The shadowy lines of the welcome land

Disclosed themselves to view.Now flap ye sails, now roar ye winds I '

Now wave ye banners free 1

Let every throat send up a cheer,A tribute to the sea 1

O noble ship, to thee all hall I

Brave captain and brave crew.Before we tread the welcome strand.

Our love goes out to you.Now stand we In the bustling port, '

Our lengthy voyage o'er ;Fond classmates dear the goal Is won.

We part to meet no more, 'To meet no more I it must hot be,

We sever not the tiesThat hold us fast to the old days.

Our friendship never dies. ' ,W e'U meet again In serried ranks,

Wherever honor calls, -. : -

'Neath bumble roofs. In marcs of trade,In learning's lofty halls. . ..

We'll meet again li coming years.We'll meet and faith renew,

Till then dear classmates, one and all.Your poet says ad lea.

PRESENTATION OF, FLAG.Worthy Principal:

In presenting to our alma mater,through you, this emblem of our com-mon country, it strikes me as a strangebut beautiful coincidence that ourclass motto should just now be so ap-propriate. "Ubi Honor, Ibi Nos," towhich if we remain steadfast we mayconfidently - hope to put to its properuse the talent with which we may beendowed. The starry flag which, inbehalf of my class. I am about to offeryou has in comparison with the flagsof many nations, but a brief existence,but oh what a glorious one.
