together by many ties. I will not try to
mention them all now. We are bound to-
gether by our respect for each other, re-
spect founded upon our respect for the old
Lancasterian school and respect for our
teacher there, John E. Lowell. He was a
very remarkable Instructor, and it was not
an ordinary school. Incidentally the
speaker said: All the Lowell school boys
that have met, and as far as know, all
write the same hand; some of course have
their particular seculiarity, but every one
shows the work of John E. Lovelps teach
ing. We learned to respect the school for
what we learned there and to respect our
teacher, Mr.. Lowell, who 60 well opened
the door to learning for us.

able to be present.

riman read a long poem on the history of |

us this evening q man who is not the COM

There is one thing that We shall remem-
Der, and that is 1.-THE Old Yellow Poney."
