The Candle and Loving Cup Ceremonies were held that night in the living room, “Number Three.” The program began with the reading of the class history by the historian, Miss Irene Armes, and copies of this were ready for each member of the class to take away with her. This was followed by the presentation to the school by the Class of 1914 of a brass box, in which all the sacred relics of past and future generations of classes are to be held. Then the members of the class formed a processional, singing the Candle Song. selected nine members from the procession of “raw recruits” to form the first class of 1909, down to the present time. For the benefit of the young alumnae, ignorant of the historic lore of N. T. S., the characteristic stunts of each class were reviewed.

On the afternoon of Wednesday, May 27, the Commencement address was given by Dr. Harry Emerson Fosdick of the First Baptist Church of Montclair, New Jersey.
