The preliminary steps in the Old Home and School week celebration, which will be second in importance in tho history of Windham county to the biCentennial celebration in 1892, were taken when Allen E. Lincoln of New Haven. and a former Willimantic boy, began writing a series of letters to the TYillimantic Chronicle relative to the new Windham High school and the Natchaug school, then in process of erection. MT. Bincoln's enthusiastic advocation of an old school week, week of celebration and reunion and re- -juvenatiOn for the former pupils and teachers of the schools of Windham, met with instant approval, and ultt- mately talk of an Old Home week as well was heard to be held in conJunc- ton with the Old School week.
