Each number was given with a zeal
and heartiness that showed the children
had been carefully tutored and that
their bright minds had not missed any
of the details of the exercises that they
were to assist in bringing to perfection.
Only one member of the class was alb
sent. Fred. Dunfee was taken sick the |
previous evening with something like |
pneumonia and he was necessarily alb /
sent. His fellow-pupils and playmates
were all sorry that he was not able to be
with them.
The gentlemen who came from a dis
lance to deliver addresses were in hap
Ply mood and spoke in way to please
all. Former Senator George T. Gran
mer, who was born in Ocean county,
near the Chatsworth line, told of his
boyhood days and of the progress that
had been made in many ways in the old
place.
Hon. Herbert N. Morse, of the State
Educational Department, told of the
good things that are in store for the
school people of the township. Mr..
Morse has taken an especial interest in
the township OF Woodland and it is
through his efforts that new school
house will be built before the school
opens in the fall
County Superintendent Stees, who
has been weekly visitor to the town
ship, also praised the teachers and |
scholars for the good work they have
been doing and assured them that their
efforts would bring forth better advan-
tages than they had been having here
tofore
Hon. John E. Gill, of Trenton, form |
er member Of the Assembly, is polish !
ed orator, and he gave an address that
was enjoyed by all who heard it.
John Apologize and George Leech
were called upon to tell of what Chats.
worth had been and what it is now.
DR.. M. w. Curran was the master of |
ceremonies and filled the position in his
usual happy manner. DIR. Curran has |
done much towards aiding the people of
Chatsworth in their efforts to down the
scurrilous reports that the ''pines'' con-
tain only the worst element of society.
The following ladies had charge of the
ceremonies: Reception committee, Mrs.
M. w, Curran, Mrs. J. Applegate, Mrs.
F. Dunfee, Mrs. S. Lee. Entertainment
committee, Miss Alice Madden, Mrs. J.
Porter, Mrs. Leach. Refreshment COM
mittee, Mrs. John Ritzendollar, Mrs.
George V. Bozarth, Mrs. Victor Ritzen-
dollar, Mrs. w. Sloan.
After the ceremonies in the church,
the guests and all who had attended the
exercises were invited to the hall, where |
an elaborate lunch had been prepared |
This part of the programme showed that
the ladies in charge had worked hard
and the manner in which the eatables |
were disposed of proved that they had |
not worked in vain.
