ALTAMONT HIGH SCHOOL
GRADUATES TEN STUDENTS

Ten students of the Altamont High school, comprising the class of 1924, were given diplomas Tuesday night at the graduation exercises in Masonic hall. The auditorium of the hall was filled to capacity by the audience, which numbered nearly 400 relatives and friends of the graduates, and many stood through the entire program. 

VILLAGE NOTES 

— Our village park, although small, is attractive and is kept in excellent shape except for the fact that the pagoda is in great need of repair. This can best be done now. We hope the person whose duty it is to keep this building in proper condition will call the attention of the railroad or village, or whoever looks after it, to this matter and so save “a thing of beauty” before it is gone forever. 

— Several of the girls of the freshman and sophomore classes of the High school went on a hike Saturday to Indian Ladder, where a “hot dog” and marshmallow roast was enjoyed. Although the day was dark and rain came in torrents, the girls didn’t mind and all report a delightful outing. 

— Eugene Sand and John D. Ogsbury went by auto truck to Cooperstown on Tuesday and brought back a large Golding art job printing press purchased of the Peckham Machinery company of New York. The Peckham company is handling the entire equipment of the Arthur H. Crist company, recently bankrupt firm at Cooperstown. The press will be installed in the Enterprise office and equipped with electric power in a few days. It will be used to print, among other things, a part of the 1924 premium list and other work for the Albany and Schenectady County fair. 

— Mr. and Mrs. Charles V. Beebe, Mrs. Ella Sand and Leo E. Westfall left Monday morning for Loysville, Pa., taking with them Edwin and Francis Hilton, who will be cared for at the Tressler Orphans’ Home. The boys’ sisters, Marguerite and Kathryn Hilton, entered the Loysville home last fall. The following persons gave willingly towards the going-away purses for little Edwin and Francis Hilton. Both children were delighted. The givers would have been gratified if they could have seen the look that came into Francis’ eyes when he opened his purse and said, “Oh, five dollars!” 

CLARKSVILLE 

Gladys Stewart, daughter of William Stewart, formerly of this place, won the prize, $20 in gold, given by Albany Elks for the best essay on the American Flag. 

DR. A. I CULLEN INJURED
IN AUTO ACCIDENT
Dr. A. I. Cullen, while returning from a professional call in the Helderbergs in his automobile last Sunday, met with quite a serious accident in the vicinity of Clickman’s Corners on the state road leading to Warner’s Lake. 

An Albany woman driving a car, owing doubtless to the fact that she was inexperienced or perhaps excited and used the accelerator in place of the brake, crashed into Dr. Cullen’s car on the driver’s side, throwing the doctor with great force against the steering wheel. 

Dr. Cullen was brought home and upon advice of a fellow physician, who was waiting at his home to attend a case with the doctor, was taken to Albany City hospital for treatment. He is recovering nicely but will not be able to resume his outside practice for some time.
