him. lie appeared TO be as much amazed
as the others, but IL must be said in all
fairness that he was unaware Of the pres
ence of the bottle until Il fell from his
pocket. 1t dawned upon him like flash
that some one at the office had put the milk
"bonb" in his coat
His fegned surprise however. did not
deceive the usher near him. He had seen
the bottle fall near the seat of him with
the eyebrows, and the unhappy youth, to-
gether with his sweetheart. was ordered
outside the theatre.
There they met policeman, who took
the couple before Magistrate Stevenson.
The cop said that the youth liberated the
bottle of milk purposely to have n little
fun. Things were looking blue. when the
manager of the theatre arrived and said
he was convinced that the prisoner was un-
aware of the fact that he was loaded with
milk.
And the youth, who said his name was
Farley Hares, was discharged.

ADMIRAL AND MRS. DEWEY
VISIT THE O'NEILS

Admiral and Mrs. George Dewey,
who have spent the summer in At
lantic City, as is their annual custom,
paid a farewell visit before departure
for their Washington home to their
friends, Sergeant and Mrs. Arthur E.
O'Neil, at "Cedardale" .on Monday.
The Deweys also visited the O'Neils
on Sept. Sd. The Admiral and Mrs.
Dewey have become close friends of
Mr.. and Mrs. O'Neil and pay them
several visits in the course of a sea-
son. They intend returning to At
lantic City next year, when they will
make their headquarters at the Hotel
Dennis.
Mrs. O'Neil has received a supply
of membership pledges for the Wo-
mans Section of the Navy League, in
which she has become interested upon
the solicitation of Mrs. Dewey and
the history and aims of which were
published in the last issue of The
Pleasantville Press, and would be
pleased to receive the name of any
lady desiring to enroll as a member.
She has also received a number of

OUR 1916 HIGH SCHOOL CLASS.

The people of Pleasantville will not
urally be interested to know the
whereabouts of the little class of ten
who were so much in the public eye
last June.
1t is especially agreeable to be able
to state that two of the graduates,
Miss Campbell and Mr.. Fox, will en-
ter college within the next two weeks
Mr.. Fox at Dickinson College, Car
Isle, Pa, and Miss Campbell at the
University of Pennsylvania, where
she will specialize in German. Nj.
Fox has chosen the legal profession.
Both are entering without conditions.
Miss Terrell and Miss Sturges have
registered at Normal Schools, the
former in Pennsylvania and the lat
ter at Montclair, N. J.
Mr.. Bowen and Mr.. Scull have been
railroad employees during the sum-
mer. 1t is said, however, that Mr..
Scull intends to take up engineering
at Drexel Evening School, Philadel-
phia.
Three of the remaining four girls
are usefully employed in business
places. And one is very much en-
gaged-further comment seems super
f1uous.
That at least forty per cent. of the
class have determined to continue
their education speaks we'll for the
Pleasantville High School, and is also
a thing of which our city may be
justly proud. Here's hoping that fu-
ture classes may do as we'll or better.
