Good Will, Me. Nov. 23.--(SpeciaD.
The Prescott Memorial building at
Good Will was dedicated, Thursday
and the occasion proved red letter
day for the Good Will boys and girls,
present and former, as we'll as a day
long to be remembered by the specta-
tors. There We're a large number pres
ent at the exercises of the day.
Alumni formed naturally in groups
representing former classes of Good
Will ell day long. In the Prescott
Memorial building, the other halls. the
cottages, all around the grounds and
even in the trains coming and going
were groups of merry. gaily-chattinS
ola grads. Mechanics and old school
day names that had stuck by many
sedate looking gentlemen and ladies
known to former classmates were re-
vived and freely used. and the ice Of
conventionality, formed by different
environments. was quickly broken
when the former days at Good Will
were mentioned. Time has done much
or little for the former boys and girls
of Good Will in individual achieve
merit but they were just the same as
in the old days. when old times We're
talked over. The grads looked at the
present boys and girls through kindly
reminiscent eyes and almost subcon-
sciously put into the play the game Of
imagining themselves one Of them.
