Old Cutler Corner School association, the

afternoon waned it was said that condi-
tions were never more satisfactory for
the yearly gathering. Ex- Mayor L. H.

shoulders OF the very younger young
generation.
Little Dorothy Cutler contributed a
spirited reading and there were inter
esting recitations by Edmund Glsdding
and Donald Dufur. Miss Helen Cutler
rendered a pleasing vocal solo. Perhaps
the most appropriate number on the
program was the recitation Of an origi.
nal poem by Miss c. NJ Mccormack OF
Cutler corner, the verses being the prod
net of her fathers pen. II was heartily
applauded. Creditably spoken pieces by
Miss Clara Cutler and Miss Rachel Cut
Ter brought the entertainment to close

served in the pavilion.

elected as follows: President, w. H.
Gladding of Randolph; ce-president, A.
S. Parkhurst of Trow hill; secretary,
Mrs. c. B. Gladding of Barre; treasurer,
Mrs. f. T. Cutler of Barre; chairman

sociation.
