OBERLIN KINDERGARTEN TRAIN
ING SCHOOL.

The class of 80, of the 0berlin Kin
dergarten Training school celebrated
their class day in very interesting
and characteristic manner.
The exercises were held in the First
church chapel on last Saturday after
noon. The rooms were filled with
friends of the class, excepting the most
central space, which was reserved for
the marching and games.
The exercises followed the form of
an ordinary morning in the kinder
garten, except that there was no work
done at the tables; and more songs
were sung than would be used in a
single day in kindergarten. These
songs were special feature of the day
and were well chosen as representa-
tive ones. Some were soft and sweet;
some were merry, rollicking trade
songs and finger plays.
Mrs. Charles Morrison presided at
the piano. She has given the girls
training in songs" all through the
course.
Two short stories were given by SEN
ior girls during the morning circle"
period.
The marching and skipping were
extremely pretty; many fancy steps
were introduced and were very grace
fully executed by the young ladies'.
Both the senior and junior classes par
ticipated in the exercises.
The commencement address was
given on Monday afternoon in Warren
concert hall by Prof. II. c. King, of
Oberlin, on Sunday evening.

THE T1NKER REUNION.

A Tinker family reunion with but
one Tinker present would seem par
adox in the category of family events,
but such was the gathering that oc-
CURED at the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
F. M. Perkins Wednesday, June 7. The
anomaly arose fronfth the fact that the
family name is apparently becoming
unpopular-rising generations evinc-
ing decided baclkwardness in assum-
ing it. That the Emily is far from
being extinct, however, is evidenced by
the fact that over eighty members, in
good standing, participated in the oc-
casion.
Dinner was served on the lawn and
concluded with RESPONSES by E. H.
Perkins, George Machem, Rev. H. P,
Richards, Mrs. E. Campbell and Rev.
Uri Richards, song by Flossie and
Francis Perkins and j. T. Hazen, and
recitations by Roscoe Campbell and
the Misse Clara and Alma Campbell
Justice Tinker, of Cleveland, delivered
an address on the genealogy of the
family, tracing it back to Thomas
Tinker, of Mayhower fame. A busi-
ness meeting was had, at which officers
were elected for the ensuing year and
arrangements made for the next an
nual reunion, and the rest of the day
was spent in target practice and So
cial amusements.
Among those preFsnt were Rev. and
Mrs. Uri Richards, Csnton, o.; Mr.. and
Mrs. Asa Reynolds and Mr.. Frank
