Tennis Court, and Other
Amusements Promised
Open Sundays.

New York, May 23.-As soon as
W. c. Griesser of Pittsburgh, Pa, can
raise $5,000,000 he proposes to go
out into the Atlantic ocean three
and fraction miles off the Jersey
coast and build himself an island.
Steel and concrete piles sunk In the
ocean floor will-if all goes we'll
rear a foundation, approximately
three blocks square. Mr.. Griesser pro-
poses to build two hotels, a SWIM
ming pool, four spacious refreshment
gardens-and brewery! not to men,
tion an opera house, tennis courts,
bowling alleys and an art museum.
Mr.. Griesser is now busy trying to
raise the five million. The mails from
Pittsburgh yesterday contained sew
eral hundred copies of a glittering
prospectus offering stock to New
York investors at $40 share.
We quote from the prospectus:
"On some Sunday and holidays there
win be half million visitors on the
island for whose comfort and enter
tainment provision must be made.
This alone will take large quantities
of provisions. To this end there will
be provided storage and refrigerat-
ing rooms large enough to hold not
only weeks but whole years sup
ply, so anything required for the
table is at all times right in the base
ment."

complished. The class reflects the
thorough, painstaking, efficient and
faithful work of the school faculty,
while on the other hand the develop
ment of the class also reflects the
close application, hard study and
faithful attention of each individual
member. We are proud of Glass '23,
We are proud of our excellent school.
There is, perhaps, a more direct
personal interest existing between
Class '23, and faculty of the Water
Valley High School than any other
High School in the state. This keen,
close personal interest comes from
the association of the pupil and
teachers from the day the little tot
entered the school until his or her
graduation last Wednesday. Dur
ing all the intervening years the
same loving care and hands directed
the development Of the pupil from
the first grade until the summit of
the peak Of the goal had been reach
ed-graduation day.
1t was with sorrow and regret each
member bade farewell to his class
mate, it was with reluctance and
feeling he glanced over those familiar
rooms for the last time as he gather
ed his school books and supplies to-
gather before leaving; Yes, 1t was
hard. But the hardest of all was when
he bade those faithful teachers good
bye. Most of them had been his
teacher throughout his entire school
life and tears Of sorrow flowed freely
at the final parting.
