WILL
There is a poem which
tells in mournful tones of the
"drear November" Any one
reading it is filled with
gloom and depression and
can see no reason for such month.
But in San Antonio, the poem is of
no consequence for Novembers recep-
ton here is quite unlike the mournful
reputation of the poem.
November doesn't mean the end of
things. 1t does not mean the absence
of color and life, it means the bright
est of color and gayest of activities.
In other words, November is the
month the social world awakens and
the fun begins.
The debu:antes this year whose
parents and sponsors have announced
Introductory parties are Olive Ellis,
Adelaide Winerich, Lille Beal Frost
Ellen Bell Newton and Mary Lupe.
Many parties have been planned for
them. including two elaborate dances
by the members of the San Antonio
German club.
One most beautiful preseason af-
fair was given Thursday in honor of
Miss Ellen Bell Newton, the daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. Sam G.. Newton
Jr., when Mrs. Alexander Burke
Spencer and Mrs. Frank Morgan Gil
lespie entertained in Mrs. Spencer's
home.
Lovely blossoms in tall floor bas-
kets and silver vases adorned the
rooms. A profusion of pink and white
chrysanthemums filled baskets in the
reception hall where the guests were
received by Mrs. w. p. Rote. Mrs.
Albert West Jr.. -lrs. William Ford

IN the Fall of 1853 Little Falls
bridge was being rebuilt. References
in acts of the legislatures of Vir-
ginia and Maryland and other papers
show that where two spans of Chain
bridge cross the river there was a
ferry as early as 1850. Then a wood
bridge was built. A road passed over
the rocky flats now crossed by sew
eral spans of Chain bridge. The wood
bridge was broken down by flood and
ferry service was renewed until
another wood bridge was built. There
was a succession of short wood
bridges and ferries and in the 40's
Consult the Rambler index for the
date), the Chain bridge was built.
The narraw part of the river was
spanned by a suspension bridge, the
wood floor and rails being suspended
on four chains instead OF wire cables,
which later came into use. The Chain
bridge was wrecked by food and the
road from the north end of it across
the fats was often under water. The
short bridge and ferry systems al
ternated until the building of wood
bridge on stone piers from the canal
to the south bank.
In the late 70s the stone piers
were built higher and the iron su-
perstructure you know was built. In
former "rambIes" on District bridges
will be found much matter with the
dates concerning early bridges and
ferries preceding the Chain bridge,
the Chain bridge itself and its sue
cessors, none of which was a chain
bridge, but each of which was called
"the Chain bridge, The Rambler be-
lieves that the following advertise
ment in The Star during September,
1853, refers to the building Of the
first bridge from the canal to the
Virginia shore:

Falls bridge three miles above George

perhaps 10-the Rambler wrote of
this man and his family. If the
Ramblers memory is in tune, Capt.
Easily was a marine architect and
shipbuilder at the navy yard and
also opened and long conducted a
ship building yard on Windmill Point,
which came to be known as Easby's
Point. The Rambler cannot take
time to refer to those ancient stories,
but he believes he placed the Easily

yards of Littlefeld. Alvord G. Co. are

corner of Potomac Park. The Easily

The house of Warwick is now gas

First Commencement Excr'
cises Held Monday Night;
G. e. Pickles Speaks

c. +. Pickles. state deputy super
intendent, and Miss Madge Runey,
county superintendent, attended on
Monday evening the first commence
ment exercises of the Gibbs Consol-
idated school.
A crowded house witnessed the
exercises which included the class
play, poem, prophecy, will and vale
dictory.
The play "Johnnics New Suit"
was we'll delivered by Miss Martha
Isaack, who played the part Of Mrs.
Larkin, an nergctic, economical lady
with many puzzling domestic prob
lens to solve. Miss Lenora Fields
played the part Of Mrs. Spencer, a
lady of leisure with ample time to
assist her ncighbors in their diff
culties.
George w. Anderson played the
role of the mischievous boy, John
Larkin, who was always more or less
careless with his personal appear
ance.
Others in the cast were Elvira
Fields, Hannah Jordan, Ruth Jordan
Victor Moynicr, Jr.
The class poem by Elvira Fields
was warmly received as was the class
prophecy by Hannah Jordan.
Miss Hannah Jordan delivered the
valcdictory. C.. f. Pickles gave an
address. He traced the development
of the rural schools and their prep
aration for higher learning. He
spoke of ideals, reputation and
character, and impressed on the pu-
pills as we'll as the entire audienc e
the need to preserve.
Following the address Of Mr.. Pick
les was the presentation of diplo-
mas to Gibbs graduates and to Fran
ces and Menoken graduates who par
ticipated in the exercises. Miss
Runey brought to the parents, teach
crs and pupils the report that Gibbs
not only had some Of the neatcst
and most satisfactory papers in the
community but the highest marks in
Burleigh county. Miss Runey gave
the thought to the 1925 class who
were launching out into the sea of
higher work and learning "That
not to look and wait for big oppor-
tunities but seize the little ones and
master them and the greater ones
would come" The programme was
concluded by the class song.
The class roll is: Hannah Jordan
