CLASS DAY EXERCISES.

On Friday afternoon, June 9, Class Day exercises were given by the class of 1916 of the Altamont High school at the school building. Many friends and patrons were present and enjoyed the program.

The exercises opened with a song by the school. The opening address was made by the class  president, Miss Rachel P. Keenholts. Her advice to her classmates was to accept all jokes given during the program in the spirit of fun, as they were given in that spirit. She characterized the class of 1916 as only “A Class,” although there have been classes before them which claimed the distinction of being “The Class” or “Some Class.”

Miss Keenholts was followed by the class historian, Isaac Hungerford, who claimed not to be brilliant in history. However, he proved that he could remember facts and feats if he so desired. He gave a witty account of his classmates during their four years at A. H. S. Everett Wemple then supplied facts concerning Isaac’s school days, as the latter had modestly forgotten to mention himself.

Florence Whipple gave the class poem in a pleasing manner. In it she gave a short, humorous sketch of each member of the class, not omitting herself.

The members of the class are:

W. David Becker, Emily D. Christman, Katherine L. Deitz, Earl A. Hane, Isaac Hungerford, Rachel P. Keenholts, Harold Lewis, Everett J. Wemple, Florence E. Whipple, Stanton E. Wright.

A RETROSPECT IN HISTORY.

Thirty Years Ago. (June 19, 1886.)

—On Wednesday afternoon, June 16, at 8:30 o’clock, at the residence of Dr. F. Crounse at Old Knowersville, occurred the marriage of Edgar Crounse of this place and Miss Anna E. Crounse, granddaughter of the doctor. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. Mr. Yost.

Twenty Years Ago. (June 19, 1896.)

—“Paddy,” the Scotch terrier of D. Gillespie, was run over by the cars Saturday morning.

Ten Years Ago. (June 15, 1906.)

—As Mr. and Mrs. Wesley Schoolcraft and daughter,  Cora, were driving to town Monday evening their young team took fright at the stone crusher, at the lower end of the village, and ran away, throwing the occupants from the wagon. Mr. Schoolcraft was rendered unconscious but soon recovered. Mrs. Schoolcraft was cut and bruised about the face. They were attended by Dr. Becker. Miss Cora was more fortunate than her parents and escaped without injury. The team was caught near the post office, unharmed.

—The children of James Keenholts have received a fine Shetland pony, cart and harness, which were purchased in New York this week.

—(Clarksville) Dr. A. E. Kyte was quite busy Sunday night with three or four Italians who were wounded in a free-for-all fight. Some had knife wounds and one was shot through the leg above the ankle.
