The Weequahic Presbyterian Church
is the outgrowth OF a Sunday school
started some fourteen years g in a
private house, with Miss Clara Schmidt
as superintendent. 1t was not long
before it outgrew these limited quar-
tiers and then it was taken TO the
Peshine Avenue Public School build
ing. The growth of the school was so
rapid that it was soon evident that a
chapel should be erected. a lot was
bought in Watson avenue, near Pc
shine, and a chapel built. 1t was
originally a union mission, but after
q time it was turned over to the Eliz-
abeth Avenue Presbyterian Church. For
some two or three years the work was
under the care of this church. In June,
1909. the Rev. s. H. Marcy was called
10 take charge of this most promising
field, and after ten months of strenu-
Gus effort was successful in bringing
about the organization OF a church of
1853 members. Two-thirds of this num-
Der were received on profession of
faith. The church at the present time
has a membership of nearly 200 and a
SUNDAY school registration of $50.

CROSSED WIRES START FIRE ALARM

GLOUCESTER, April 3.-About ?
o'clock in the morning the fire bell in
the City Hall tower began ringing. The
firemen were quick to respond, and so
did several hundred people, who were
sure there was a blaze somewhere, but
they were unable to find it and have
not yet discovered its location. 1t is
thought the wires Of the fire-alarm sys-
tenn became crossed with electric light
wires during the high winds and started
the bell tapping. Some have ventured
the opinion that there may have been
a ghost in the belfry of the City Hall.

MARTINsBuRG. VIVA. FRIDAY JUNE 1e, 1911
Martlnsburs High School.

High school of this city siuce the pre-
sent faculty has been in charge have
become an event of decidedly more i'm
pcrtance than ever before. The High
schools standing mas been SO raised
that the people have been drawn more
closely to it than in the past. The
Martinsburg High school stands for
something and its diploma now bears
distinct appreciation among our
people.
The commencement held at tine AS.
sembly hall of the school building last
Thursday night was the best ever held
in the history of the school and CON-
petent critics say the commencement
easily equales the closing exercises OF
the famous shoots of New England or
anywhere in the North.
The graduating class numbered nine
and was as follows:
Dorothy Belt Berry, Nary ethel
Downs, jessie Evelyn Horsefall, Mil.
dred Ruth kimmell, Blanche May I'm
bach, Theresa Agnes Hirsch, Jchn
Louis Price, Howard LeFevre Mason,
James Carl Fisher.
The City band orchestra composed OF
nine pieces furnished the music for the
occasion. The exercises began by a
prayer by Rev. DR.. f. NJ. Woods, of
the Presbyterian church. Superinten-
dent W. G. Morton read resume of
the work of the term closing which
was of interest especially that relating
to The magnificent work of the school
board in the management ofthe schools
of the town.
Miss Elizabeth Hannis, soist of
note among the local talent, sang a
beautiful selection with Miss Elda Kill
mer as piano accompanies. Miss Ethel
Downs delivered the saluditory, MISS
Agnes Theresa Hirsch was class essay
est both of whom were loudly applaud
ed. Mr.. James Carl Fisher, son of
Mr.. James B. Fisher, was honor man
of the class and the valedietorian. To
Mr.. Fisher was awarded the sholorship
offered by the Washington d Lee
University, of Lexington, Va, an
honor most worthily bestowed.
The address of the occasion was de-
livered by DR.. Hervin U. Reop, presi-
dent of the Eastern college, Manassas,
Va.
A chorus by sixteen scholars of the
High school was pleasing feature of
the occasion and one which was great
ly appreciated by the large audience.
The diplomas were presented by Mr..
James w. Barrck, president of the
board of education and DR.. Woods pro-
Dounced the benedlction.
The weeks festivities incident to the
High school commencement were clos
ed by banquet at the Assembly hail
by the alumni ASSOCIATION which was
not the least pleasant event of the week
but one OF the most important and de-
Iightfal.
