Cornville. Me, Aug. 25.-(Special).-
Friday, Aug. 20. dawned fair and beau
tiful and at about 10 o'clock the
scholars began to arrive at the Towh
house. Some had the same dislike Ct
getting a black mark as in the old
days and said it really seemed that
o'clock was the hour they should have
come The forenoon was passed IN
social chat and pleasant "reminiscences.
At noon boxes and dinner pals were
much i'm evidence but instead of form
ing groups as was apt to be the case
in days of yore, all accepted the use Of
the dining hall which was kindly Offer
cd by the Changers. One or two stray
couples might have been seen in d
cosy nook outside.
Shortly after o'clock order was call
ID and Mrs. Florence Fogg Everett
cave a vocal solo. In the absence of
Rev. II. c. Giles of Portland who made
plans to be present, II. C. Blackwell OF

After few remarks he proceeded 20
organize an Alumni Association and
the following officers were elected
President, Rev H. c. Giles; vice presi-
dents, Della McDaniels and H. c.

treasurer, Melvin Palmer. An enter
tainment committee Of three was ap-
pointed, Mrs. Carrie Smith French, Mrs.
Florence Everett and Ellie Collins
Davis, the president and secretary eX =
officio.
Mr. Blackwell called on each one
present for remarks and nearly all re-
sponded. Letters of greeting from DR..

two boys, which. had it arrived soon
err. would have added to the pleasure OF
| the day MIS-. May Parsons Tooker OF
WeSttield, n. j., sent letter of greet
| ing. which was much enjoyed. Mrs
| Tooker recalled a few miSchievous
pranks of some of the old schoolmates
and also remembered with regret some
| of the dear ones who will be with us
no more. Mrs Carrie French responded
with a reading over the Hills from
| the Poor House, and musical selec-
lions at short intervals were very
pleasing. Mrs. Florence Everett and
Mrs. Charles S. Moody gave two voca
duets and Miss Janette Leighton OF
Marlboro, Mass. kindly furnished an
instrumental and vocal solo.
"A vote of thanks was extended to the
Grange for the use of the hall and ii
was agreed to hold a reunion each
year sometime in the month of Au-
gust.
Twenty seven c. II. S. scholars were
present and members of their fam
lies and invited friends to the number
! of %. making about so in all. 1t was
not generally understood that friends
who were not connected with the school
would he welcome in the afternoon, sc

reason.
