ard Wyman, graduate of the Skowhe-
gan High School and Bowdoin College

receiving his diploma as M. d. at the
coming Harvard commencement. He
will spend few days In Skowhegan
after graduation and then goes direct to
LYNN. Mass, where he has hospital
appointment for one year.
II Ia but natural that "Skowhegan'
should be rather more frequently mis-
spelled than that of other towns as the
name is unusual and, when carelessly
pronounced, gives an imperfect clue to
the spelling. The man In Binghampton,
n. Y, however, who recently addressed
a letter to B. B. Heselton "Slowhegar, ,
Me-, Is entitled to a reprimand and we
propose to send a marked copy OF this
issue, calling his attention to that fact.
Professor Chapman, the moving spirit
Of the great musical festivals held each

which will be recorded credit for each
rehearsal attended. Members whose
tickets fail to show that they have at
tended the required number of rehearsals
will not be accepted for participation In
the chorus at the great festival at Ban
gor this fall.
Subscription for the guarantee fund OF
the Fourth Of July celebration have al
most reached the $1,000 mark and will
undoubtedly equal or exceed the amount
raised last year. All plans are maturing
satisfactorily and highly enjoyable pro-
gram may be looked for. Those entering
for the atheletic sports should address
their entries to Fred c. Dow, Skowhegau

gentleman has made business engage
ment which necessitates his absence
from town. A meeting of the full COM
mittee is called for next Monday evening.
