"The Council" declared Mr.. Holt

of a Persion port by the fleet of Soviet

Mr.. Holt described his impressions

which he attended, and the members
of which he declared composed the
most distinguished political gather

pressive to see the procession of the

said in concert" me too" Mr.. Wal

motion that all data connected with
the Eaton school, such as old pro-
grams, etc, etc. should be collected
as far as possible and kept in the
Norridgewock Public Library for safe
keeping. Mr.. Walton placed in the
hands Of the secretary several pro-
grams dated 1869 and 1870.
Chas. Davis of Portland spoke of
his pleasure in getting back once
more at Eaton and liyened up the pro-
gram by telling several stories ap-
propriate for the occasion.

spoke on the noted people Norridge-

ing that of over 400 towns in Maine.
Norridgewock in proportion to her

not be his last. He, too told of what

and was glad that after so many

old scholars whom he knew. 1t seem

a distance just for the Reunion and
so many said they had words of real
effort to be there, but almost in the

it was truly worth while to make the
effort, and if all goes we'll, I'VE shall

and those who. were able to answer

do their part in helping bring back
