1t is seldom that graduating
class of the Honesdale High school
has been able to get together, for the
purpose of renewing the acquaint-
ances of high school days, with as
much success as the Glass of 1906
recently achieved. Early in the
month of December Edward ID. Katz,
who was President of the class, is
sued invitations to the members to
meet at his home on the evening OF
December 2S.
The class numbered twenty-four at
graduation time, and Mr.. Katz re-
ceived acceptances from twenty of the
class. Two members are at present
at distant parts and two others were
unable to attend.
On Thursday evening the home of
Mr.. KatZ was thrown open to the
class and few invited friends and
the way in which that crowd Of boys
and girls" recounteG stories OF high
school days would nave delighted the
members of the faculty that worked
so hard to instil' knowledge into the
best of all classes. After the hap
penings of the past five years had
been told, 800" was the next diver
Katz, making the highest scores.
After the games Mr.. Katz an
nounced that the dining room was
inviting the attention of the guests.
Inviting, is an Inadequate word to
describe the dining room as it was
presented to the view. The tables
were lighted with candleabra, with
shades of the class colors, gold and
do In
ture hand-painted turkeys, the work
of Miss Alice Simons, a member of
the class. At each place was a pen
nant of gold cloth, with the words OF
the class song printed in black Each
member of the class received as fa-
vors, passe-partouted card with the
following inscription: Reunion
Glass of 1906, Honesdale High
School-DeCember 2S, 1911" I'm
der this was a small photograph OF
the old high school building and at
the bottom of the card part of the
class song.
After the guests were seated a
dainty luncheon was served. Presi-
dent Katz presided as POSTMASTER
In few words he informed those
present that he was more than pleas.
tions and that he sincerely hoped
that the members of the class would
continue to respond whenever a re.
union was called. To assist in the
merriment he called upon almost
every member of the class and each
responded with talks that were very
much like the talks of high schoo
days. At the class night exercises in
| 1906 Mr.. Katz presented each mem.
Der of the class with an appropriate
! gift. To recall the old days more
clearly he presented to each member
at the reunion a small replica of the
gifts of class night. This feature
caused much merriment as the
| changes that time brings gave added
meaning to more than one gift.
The members of the class and 9th
er guests who were present speak il
the highest terms of the hospitality
| of the former President of the class
and the occasion will long be remem
bered by all.
