REUNION OF THE LAMBERTvlILE
HIGH SCHOOL GLASS OF so.

When the Glass of 80 graduated
from the Lambertville High School
three years ago, people naturally sup
posed that the class had met together
for the last time and that it was
thing OF the past but the class did
not agree with this idea.
During their Senior year they kept
together nobly as class. As their
school days on the hill drew near "A
close, some OF the class expressed
wish that it hold reunions and thus
keep up the old class feeling, even af-
ter the class should be separated. All
the members heartily agreed with this
idea and il was decided that the first
reunion should be held in 1909, with
succeeding reunions to occur every
three years.
Not for moment did the Glass of
80 forget this plan of reunion and
when they finally had to separate as a
class, they consoled themselves by
looking forward to the first reunion.
The first reunion of the class oc-
cured on Wednesday Of last week
July 2dl. Out of the class of fifteen,
the following twelve members were
present Gertrude Miller, Ethel Flum-
merfeit, Grace Pierson, Lille Bayard,
Leta Sergeant, Isabelle Cooper, Ma
bel Hoagland, Blanche Finger, Ida
White, Eva Gordon, Robert Phillips,
and Edward Thorne.
The class gathered at ten o'clock in
the morning on the school hill, hold
ing the following exercises under the
tree:

After the morning programme, the
class held n business meeting in the
school house, to decide upon the date
for the second reunion and to appoint
the necessary committees for it. 1t
was decided that the second reunion
be held i'll 1901, so that the class
should meet every two years instead
of every three, as was at first agreed.
The date being fixed and all necessary
business transacted, the class adjourn
ed until afternoon.
At 3. 30 the members assembled at
the home of Miss Gertrude Miller and
started on straw ride, their destina-
ton being Doylestown. One of Mr..
Schenck's large wagons was secured
and was deliberately trimmed with the
class colors green and gold. Both
the boys and girls wore large straw
hats, suspiciously like to those worn
by the farmers, which were trimmed
with ribbons of green and gold. They
presented an amusing sight, as, seated
in the wagon, they blew some bonny
blasts on their horns secured for the
occasion.
At six o'clock the class reached
Doylestown and amidst great blow
ing of horns and cheers, stopped at
the Fountain House, where they par
took of an excellent dinner.
After the dinner, the STOW of rea-
son" began, with Miss Gertrude Mil
Ter acting as POSTMASTER. The follow
ing was the order Of exercises

Later, the class enjoyed walk
around Doylestown and then assem-
bled in the hotel parlor where they
sang n number of their old school
songs and their class song, written
especially for the reunion.
At ten o'clock the young people
started home, tired but very happy at
having met together again as class.
They passed away the time Of return
ing, by singing some of their favorite
songs while members of the High
School. Twelve o'clock found them
entering Lambertville, and their part
ing instruction to each member of the
class as he or she alighted at home
