Seldom is there a gathering of such
a novel character as was the reunion
of the pupils of school district &c. who
received their training in the old red
school on the lower road about three
miles east of Topeka, in the early '70S,
which was held at the beautiful
suburban home of Mr.. Samuel Parr
last Friday. The day was spent in a
most joyous way, and enjoyed by the
pupils and their families, which num-
bered so strong. At noon a fine picnic
dinner was served under the grape
arbor, where it was cool and shady
and where everyone present sat down
together to experience once more
happy time, like the noon hours of
their school days. The program of the
day was carried out in the same way
as q school day of former years. Mrs
Della Hunt Wade, the teacher, was
present and instructed the children
with the same rod they had often seen
(and perhaps many of them had felt)
before. The same song books as were
used in school, we're sung from on Fri
day, among them was the song, Some
folks get gray hairs, brooding DER their
cares, but that's not me nor you," ard
there wasn't a pupil present but what
was well blest with gray hairs. The
same old roll was called to which %
responded. Among the pupils present
were: Jennie McCarter Evans, Carrie
Goddell Chubb, Agile Patterson Skinner,
Ella Wade Shore. Minnie Kelsey Parr,
Carrie Johnson, VIM. McCarter, Frank
McCarter, John Parr, Sam Parr, Joe
Parr, Lou Parr Welton, Frank Con-
well, Fred Luddington, Amos Beeler.
Frank Goodell, Horace Goodell, Free
man Sardou, James Troutman. Grant
Kelsey, Carrie Dawson and Viola
Troutman The oldest guest present
was Mrs. Catherine Parr, better known
as Grandma Parr," who is in her
eightieth year, and who pronounced the
day as being greatly enjoyed, and TAX
ing her back once more to her school
life and the days of her girlhood. Miss
Jennie McCarter. daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Frank McCarter, recited 1.-THE Old
Sod House in Heaven" which was well
rendered. and which caused many en-
cores. The day was especially enjoyed
by all, and the reunion of school chill
dren of district Sc of 40 years ago is to
be made an annual affair
