"A reunion of the Dild,ne School
association will be held at the D.ldine
chocl house in Easton, Ionia county,
Michigan, on Wednesday, August 2l,
1918, at noon. AS usual, basket
cnic will be feature, each family
or group Of persons Bringing their own
provisions. also knives, forks, spoons,
and all dishes except p,ates and cups;
the committee on entertainment will
provide plates, cups, lemonade and
ice cream. A collection will be taken
for incidental expenses. Part eli
pants from such distance as TO make
it seriously inconvenient to bring
their own provisions will be enter
tanned, as at previuos reunions.
All who expect to attend this re-
union are urgently requested to in-
fern the chairman of the committee
on entertainment, o. +. Newton, GOT
West Man treet,< Ionia, Mich, at the
earliest possible date, stating the
probable number in each party. Lack
of this information has heretofore
greatly increased the difficulties of
the comm ttee. An attempt will be
made to arrange transportation from
Ionia tc the schoolhouse. If those
from a distance attending the reunion
who will reach Ionia on the morning
of Aug. / will give Mr.. Newton suf-
ficient notice, it is hoped that convey
ances can meet them at the train.
A brief program has been planned.
As a special feature for this occasion,
all attending the reunion are request
eA ~ hr'ng anv pictures they have
which may arouse memories of the
Dildine school of years ago; of the
people then living in the school dis
trict, and especially of the pioneers.
Bring pictures. the older the better,
Of members of your cwn family who
have lived in the district; of your
selves in the years gone by; of any of
your former teachers; of the school
house and of groups of pupils at any
and al times. If the pictures can be
exhibited attached to some kind of
board. to save handling, so much the
better and safer and if the names
and the approximate dates of the pic
lures can be appended the exhibits
will be all the more interesting. The
committee on PROGRAM hopes in this
way to aid in keeping alive the mem
DRY of the people who helped to make
the present Dildine school and the
community about it what they are.
Another proposed feature of the re-
union is a roll call of members, each
one as.called to respond with an anec-
-dote of school days. Gene prepared
with your story, grave or gay, to add
to the general interest 1t seems
hardly necessary to recall the enjoy
ment so many of us have found in the
previous reunions. beginning with the
memorable one of July a, 1904, and to
express the hope that the present one
will be the equal of any yet held. All
who have been either teachers or pu-
pills IN the Di'dine school are welcome
at the reunion and those who have
been such not later than the year 1910
are eligible to active membership in
the association.
