Reuaioa of Class of 'ss, p. H. s.

MT. and Mrs. Clarence H. Barrett and children Of Hartford are spending two weeks vacation at their camp at Bates Grove, Webster Lake. Both MT. and Mrs. Barrett are graduates of the Putnam High school, class of ls98- On Saturday afternoon they invited as guests those who graduated with them. Those who responded were Henry l.. Converse and family, Putnam; Miss Maude l.. Aldrich, Webster; John w. McGuirk, Hartford, and Robert K. Harris, Putnam. Frederic H. Case of Worcester, the other member of the class, was unable to be present as he and his family .are vacalionizing nt Buttonwoods, R. |.
 On arriving at the camp the guests beheld a large banner of yellow and green, the class coloTs, on which were the words, "P. II. $. '9sn, and under heath the class motto, "De Die in Diem.p A very pleasant afternoon was passed by all renewing old ac- quaintances and reviewing incidents of school days. It was made more en- joyable by the fact that it had been fourteen years since some of them had met.
 It will be recalled that the class of 1898 graduated the smallest number of any class in recent years---there being but seven. Most of the class are hold ing responsible positions in various lines of business, and as the past has been a continual step forward for them "from Day to Day" it is evident that if they remain true to the class coors, which teach constancy and faith, in the future greater measure of success will be theirs.

Elks' Field Day

 The committee met and elected E. k. Robbins, chairman and Isaac Champeau secretary and treasurer and appointed sub committees. It was voted to hold the field day, Thursday, Aug. P.
 Tickets will be in the hands of the committee in a few days, and it is ex- pected that, as in the past, they will go like the proverbial "hot cakes," as an Elks' clambake is something that is not to be missed. At the last one held here guests were present from Hartford, Springfield, Norwich, New London, Worcester, Providence, Woon- socket, Webster, Willimantic and Boston and it is the intention of the committee in charge to make this one of the best yet.
