HORACE MANN SCHOOL
The Largest Class Ever Graduated From the Institution
The boys and girls who graduated from the Horace Mann Grammar School yesterday composed not only the largest class which ever left the institution, but one of the brightest. The closing exercises were held in the school building and an audience of several hundred people was assembled there to hear them. With two exceptions every number on the programme was by the boys and girls of the graduating class. The orchestra was one of boy musicians organized only two months ago by Principal Joseph O'Connor. Their music merited the applause it received.
Principal O'Connor said he had tried to teach the boys and girls something more than was in their text books. He had tried to teach them to be self-sustaining and in years to come useful men and women of the city. He had taught the boys something of the Government under which they live. He had taught them to respect their flag, to honor it always and cherish it when it needed the support of honest men. In sending them from the school he did so with an assurance that all of them were boys in whom dependence could be placed.
The programme of the day was long and interesting, showing many of the lines upon which the boys and girls have worked for the past year.
Superintendent of Schools John Swett then gave the diplomas as follows:
