PLAN REUNION
OF HIS. ALUMNI
Entertainment This Year to Be OF
an Elaborate Nature

At the annual meeting OF the Calu-
met high school alumni held in the
high school last evening new officers
were elected and plans made for the
entertainment az the graduating
classes of 1914. Glasses from 1880 Ia
1918 were represented. Officers were
elected for the ensuing year as fol-
lows;
President-George Fuller.
Vice President-Walter Cries.
Secretary-Miss Florence Green.
Treasurer-Miss Helen Roehm.
The treasurers report indicated a
balance OF about $4,000 in the treasury.
A vote of thanks was rendered the
outgoing officers for the splendid man
ner in which they conducted the assoc
ciations affairs.
Various phases of entertainment
were discussed, but the association
finally decided to deviate from the
usual reception and this year make the
entertainment a reunion for all mem
bers of the association and graduates
Of the school. 1t is. felt such plan
will appeal to older graduates of the
high school as well as the younger
members. whereas the usual reception
is of greatest interest to the latter
only.
Plan For the Reunion.
4 general committee was appointed
To direct preparations for this reunion
and to endeavor to interest all grad
yates Of the school This committee
consisting of Walter Cries, chairman,
Charles Macleod, Mrs. Fred Martin,
Miss Carrie Dunstan and Miss Alice
Getchell was instructed to find suit
able place for the entertainment and
To appoint ub-committces To carry ont
the different plans of the reunion. The
affair probably will be held in the Col
osseum or the armory.
Committees were appointed from the
different classes to interest all the
members of those classes i'm second
meeting to be held next Wednesday At
the high school when further plans will
be made.
II is planned To assign different ia
bles to the different classes and thus
bring together in separate groups for
mer classmates. The program prob
ably will include brief reviews Of class
history by some member of each class
this pertaining especially TO events
since graduation. Each table is to he

In his fall he struck his chin. which
apparently was the only part injured.
But the shock caused a fracture at the
base of the skull which could not be
detected by an external examination.
Garfield. who was fifty-six years old,
was generally rated millionaire. He
once was noted as proprietor of pala-

Margaret Deland's Reading

Margaret Deland, author of The
Iron Woman" and 'Old Chester Tales"
delighted q large audience at First
congregational Church, 10th and G.
streets northwest. last night. with a
reading of a tale of "Old Chester" for
the benefit of the Chevy Chase Chapter
of the Young Women's Christian Asso-
citation. Mrs. George Winchester Stone
was in charge of the entertainment.
Mrs. Deland was introduced by Rev
DR.. Jay I. Stocking, pastor of the
church, as 'one whose place in Ameri-
can literature is altogether sure She
read the story of Capt. Alfred Price
and his Lettie from the "Old Chester
Tales" and although the weather out
side the church was cold and very
damp, inside the audience was lnger-
ing beneath apple blossomed trees,
watching the self-evident but alto
gether charming contamination of the
romance of the hale old captain and
his Lettic.'' Mrs. Deland's reading
was no less delightful than her story
Her Interpretation of 'Gussie' and the
other characters that live in Old Ches
ter was on a par with the characters
themselves, which are inimitable.
