EATON AND n. H. REUNION
For days before Tuesday the old
scholars of the old Eaton school were

on the sidewalk talking over old times
was familiar sight. On Tuesday as on
several occasions of this kind before,
the weather looked dubious and threat
ening, the heavy shower of the night
before not having cleared the atmos-
phere of its superabundance OF moisture.
Several showers occurred during the
day but did not dampen the ardor OF
the visitors, Promptly at the appointed
hour all were 10 the old school building
and commenced living over old days
again. Through unavoidable circum
stanced the president and all the vice

Selection by the orchestra
This ninth annual meeting was great
success with good feeling Astounding
Every year the committee at home who
have the matter in charge and who give
1t that close attention which brings sue
cess, feel for few weeks before the
time approaches as though 1t would
spell failure and as often as the years
come around are they pleasantly dissa-
pointed and happy when the occasion
arrives with all Its pleasant associations
Graduates and students of the old
school are making their mark in the
north, east, south and west of our
country and are proud to acknowledge
themselves Maine born, bred and ed
ucated.
There was much regret expressed that
none OF the old teachers could be pres
emit.
