South Lancaster (Mass.) Academy

By F. G.

I was privileged to be present at the opening of the twenty-eighth year's work of South Lancaster Academy, September 15. The largest number of students present at the opening of any year in the history of the school, greeted the faculty as they came onto the rostrum. Every seat was filled, and in many seats there were two, besides some fifty students in chairs. There were also a goodly number of visitors present. Prof. C. S. Longacre, who succeeds Prof. B. F. Machlan as principal, is taking up the work with courage. There have been a number of changes in the faculty during the summer.

After short talks by many of the teachers, visitors, and students, an hour was spent by all in greeting and becoming acquainted with one another. After this the school again convened and the classification of students was undertaken. The work of the students was quite easily arranged. All look forward to a very successful year's work. F. G.
