which is significant of church archi-
lecture, and the overhanging room
which extends out over the entries
into the main hall, and was used in
the olden days for choir gallery. In
later years it was somewhat widen
ed and at present is used for a
Grange dining room. After serving
as a church the house became the
Town hall and the business sessions
of the town were held within its
spacious walls.
In 1888 pewS were removed, desks
substituted and it became the High
school building. Several years ago,
Wesserrunsett Grange did much to
improve the rooms and it since has
been used as a Grange hall.

of two accidents yesterday morning
between the hours of II and II. In
both cases no one was hurt but
considerable damage was done.
The first happened at lilo when
the rear trucks of a Fairfield bound
trolley, No. 100. split the switch and
struck a Maxwell touring car driven
by Louis Oil of sc Montreal street,
Portland. Mr.. OH was driving down
Main street by the crossing and the
rear end of the electric struck the
left back wheel of his car, demolish-
ing the tire and tearing off the mud
guard. The shock also sprung n
leak in the gasoline tank. The dam
aged car was taken to garage for
repairs.
At 11.53 A. NJ, a Chevrolet tour
ing car coming down Main street,
driven by Nelson Chapman of Fair
field, turned sharply to the left to-
wards lower Temple street and
struck the motorcycle upon which
Highway Police Officer Charles

Especial to the Kennebco Journal)
Cornville, Me, Aug. PA large
and happy crowd gathered at the
old school building in Cornville We'd
nesday August %, 1923, for the 18th
annual reunion of the Cornville High
school. One interesting feature of
these events is that those who at
tend represent terms of school be-
ginning back in the early seventies
and also the different terms to the
time of the last school year in 1889.
If the writer is wrong in stating that
the last term was taught in 'S9, it
would be greatly appreciated if
some one would correct the error.
The first High school, as near as
can be learned, was held at Cass'
Corner as early as 1866, with Will
liam Mclaughlin instructor, who
afterwards became a physician and
passed away few years ago, after
living in harmony for many years
In the seventies the schools were
held at the Center school house"
as it was then called, and also in
Dist. No. l." and some of them
taught by Principal Page in '73.
Osgood in IA, Colcord in rs, Howard
in '76 and Whittemore in II
Charles F. Warner taught at the
wells school house" in 1887, and
in 1882 Ben w. Murch of Carmel
was instructor in Dist. No. l."
These small buildings were not
large enough to accommodate all who
wished to attend. tables being used
in the front of the room in 'S2 with
chairs. after filling the seating
capacity which was ample for the
district schools. At the High school
sessions three pupils occupied one
seat" and as memory recalls those
old days the interest manifested was
wonderful, students frequently COM
ing from out of town. At this time
the Town House was converted into
High school building and school

room. This structure was built
many years ago for a church from

us can remember the pulpit with its

Visitor Speaks
A visitor had come to call at the
beginning OF the session of school,
and was greatly impressed by the
wonderful ability of the students.
This was Paul S. ToOker and he was
called on for remarks at the close
of the afternoon as was the custom
in the old days. Mr.. Tooker gave the
class some excellent advice, espec-
tally to guard against profanity and
breaking the Sabbath. The teacher
then made the usual last day of
school remarks in a most feeling
manner. which so affected some of
the excitable ones that they gave
way to bitter weeping, After one or
two matters of business Mrs. Aaron
Bccde. who will be remembered as
Rebecca Ridley, was called on for
remarks, and Mrs. Nettie May Moody
recited a poem, a Pleasant Smile"
1t will be of interest to many peo-
pie who were acquainted with Mr..
Beede to know that he is enjoying
good health.
