Dorothy Skunk, who has been attend

A son was born to Mr.. and Mrs. M. d.
Catlin, Monday.
Quite a number of persons FIR I'm this
place attended the funeral of Mrs. G. l..
Berlin, at Wing Hill, Sunday. Mrs.
Berlin had been a resident of our town
for a number of years, until recently,
when she went to Wing Hill TO reside
with her son., Eugene Berlin. She had
been suffering from a complication of
diseases for over a year. She was born
near Wing Hill, May IS, 1889, and died
April 80. 1909. She is survived by FIVE
sons and three daughters. Grandma
Berlin, as she was familiarity known, was
a good neighbor, always kind and help
full TO the sick. She was a member of
the Kellettville M. e. church for a num-
Der of years and lived a true Christian
life. She died rejoicing in the faith in
which she had lived. Funeral services
were conducted by Rev. r. J. Montgom-
cry, assisted by Rev. A. j. Horner, at the
Wing Hill M. E, church, Sunday after
noon, and the body was laid to rest in the
Wing Hill cemetery.
The first commencement of the Kellett-
vile High School was held Friday ave.
ming, in Andrews Hall. The class was
greeted by a large and appreciative au-
dience. The hall vas decorated elabo-
rately with the colors of the class, blue
and white. Beautiful remnants and
flowers lent charm and grace to tine scene.
Promptly at eight o'clock the Kellettville
orchestra, under the leadership of Prof.
Robbins, rendered a beautiful selection
that put the audience in an easy and re-
ceptive mood for the good things that
we're to follow. After the invocation by
Rev. r. j. Montgomery, the salutatory
was delivered in clear and audible tones
by Miss Verns Miller. The speaker well
coined all with grace and dignity and at
the close of her address was made the re-
cipient of many costly gifts. Miss Ber-
tina Skunk came next with a learned dis
course on "Incorruptible Wealth." The
young lady's essay was we'll received.
The orchestra filled the next period OF
the program. Clara Jenkins, a tall beau
tiful brunette, csptivated the audience
with a recitation entitled "Lasca." Much
of the gymnastics, gesticulations and girl
maces that characterize the efforts of am
teur elocutionists was found wanting in
the young lady. Sufficient gestures were
used to portray the feeling in the reclta-
ton. Alvin Sallade, the class orator,
demonstrated to his hearers that the
lection for this important part of the
program. His exegesis of the class motto
mon Confectus, Sed 1 %nitus," was clear
and strong. AS soon as the strains of the
music had passed away, County Supt. d
W. Morrison, in a neat and humorous
speech, presented the diplomas. The
subject of Miss Lauretta Dunkle's essay
was "The Twentieth Century" 1t was
an excellent paper, portraying the evils
of the present and a remedy for the same.
Miss Dorothy Shunk's discourse IN "Un-
crowned Kings and Queens" must have
been a solace to the mothers and fathers
present who we're sacrificing many things
for the education of their children. 1.-THE
Debating Society, " a humorous recitation
Astounding in representations of rural
r~ustics. was rendered by John Robbins,
From the applause we are inclined to be-
lieve that Mr.. Robbins will be asked to
repeat his performance in the near future.
The class was addressed by Rev. w. Il.
Brinkman of Warren, Pa. His address
was able and mastery. 1t was a rare
treat to our people and when we say we
hope to hear the speaker again, we repeat
the wish of the community. The pro-
gram was brought to a close by the vale
dictorian, Alva Watson. In a touching
address he bid classmates and audience a
final farewell. While the orchestra
played its last selection the audience re-
tired. 1t was thus that Kellettville made
its debut as township high school.
