CUTLER CORNER DAYS RECALLED
By Many Who Attended Annual Re-
union at Dewey Park.

| Memories Of many youthful esca
pade, as well as some of the more prop
erly decorous Friday afternoon speakin's 8
were revived at Dewey park Saturday
when upward of l25 members OF the
Old Cutler Corner School association
held their 18th annual reunion. By and
| large, IL was one of the most successful
school reunions of the dozen years in
which the association has existed, and
into the days dongs was injected more
Of the essence of a real reunion than at
any time in several twelve-months. just
how long time must elapse ere Cut
Ter corner pupil may be designated as
an 'old grad" is matter for debate,
but the old grads who assembled at the
park ranged in age from young years to
20, and the 70's had nothing on the
youngsters when it came to relating
"reminiscences.
Splendid weather conditions favored
the outing, and the attractive program
arranged by the committee was carried
through to finish without hitch. At
HIS o'clock in the forenoon, a brief
business session was held, and the fol-
lowing officers were elected: President,
w. H. Gladding of Randolph; vice-pres-
ident, Alfred Parkhurst of Barre; secre-
tary, ex-Mayor l.. H. Thurston of Barre;
assistant secretary, Mrs. G. B. Gladding
of this city; treasurer, p. M. Cutler OF
Barre; assistant treasurer, Mrs. F. I.

chard. Mrs. Alfred Parkhurst, and Mrs.
Ida Pearson; assistants to the executive
Earl G. Cutler, Mrs. Frank

Cutler corner alumni, big and little,
were gathered around the festive board
in the spacious park pavilion at noon.
time. The dinner was culinary tri

well content to settle back for the exer-

we're the following: Reading, Miss Ruth |

OF Cummings & Lewis, who
oaned the association yictrola for the
program, some highly enjoyable musical
selections added to the entertainment.
ifterward the pavilion was cleared for
lancing, and from midafternoon till the
arly evening, there was terpsichorean
aplenty for the corner peo
lie.
Credit for the successful manner in
which the 1915 picnic plans were per-
nitted to reach fruition is largely due
