COMMENCEMENT WEEK.
High School Graduation Exercises
This Evening.
This has been commencement week
at both the Bellefonte High school
and The Pennsylvania State College,
but owing to the critical war situation
and the fact that a number of stu-
dents in both institutions have enlist-
ed and gone away the commence-
ments have not been marked with the
usually elaborate programs.
The High school commencement
began with the preaching of the bac-
calaureate sermon on Sunday even-
ing by Rev. Dr. Ambrose M. Schmidt,
in the Reformed church. Even on
that occasion there was an absence of
formality, as the caps and gowns or-
- dered for the graduating class failed
to arrive on time.
The alumni reception and dance
were dispensed with this year and the
Junior declamatory contest usually
held on Monday evening was not held
until Wednesday evening. In past
years there were first and second
prizes for this contest, but this year
the rule was changed to make two
prizes of $7.50 each, to go to the best
boy ard girl in the contest. The con-
testants were Richard P. Noll, Gerald
Whiting, Clarence H. Smeltzer, Mary
Taylor, Rebecca Cruse, Francis Craw-
ford, Betty Lockington, Eleanor Bow-
er, John W. Smith and Grace King.
The judges were Edwin Raymond
Smith and Asa Earl Martin, of State
College, and Miss Margaretta Go-
heen, of Boalsburg, and they award-
ed the prizes to Mary Taylor and
Clarence H. Smeltzer.
The graduating exercises will be
held this (Friday) evening. The usu-
al class exercises will be dispensed
with but there will be a commence-
ment address by Prof. John Dennis
Mahoney, of the West Philadelphia
High school, and immediately there-
after Dr. M. J. Locke, president of the
school board, will present the diplo-
mas to the graduating class of thirty-
one members. First honors this year
were awarded to John Franklin
Smith and second honors to Rejina
Brandman. The list of graduates is
as follows:
Harry Eriward Brandman, Regina
Brandman, Frederick Carl Cronemiller,
Ora Miller Cronister, Vida Davis, Veroni-
ca Mildred Fisher, Florence Effie Gray,
Irene Margaret Gross, Bertha Christine
Haverstein, Nellie Katharine Hunsinger,
Rachael Maine Lambert, Sara Elizabeth
William Richard Malone, Abra-
‘ham Lincoln McGinley, Eleanor Howard
‘McSuley, Margaret Cecelia Pendleton, Ma-
ry Charlotte Reed, Malcolm Lee Rhine-
smith, Maude Amelia Rockey, Ann Eliza-
beth Shaughnessy, Donald Waldo Smith,

lor, Joseph Beates Wagner, Samuel Rich-
ard Waite, Harry Woods Wetzel, Malcolm

AT STATE COLLEGE.
The State College commencement
began informally last Friday with the
customary athletic contests, but there
was a marked contrast between the
crowd this year and those of former
years. The baccalaureate sermon on
Sunday was delivered by Rev. Hugh
Black, of New York city.
The graduation exercises took place
on Monday when the diplomas were
awarded the class of 388 members.
Tuesday was alumni day and the end
of the commencement. A feature of
the week was the purchase -of $800
worth of Liberty Bonds by the Seniors
with the money that had been raised
to build a limestone gateway at the
entrance to the college grounds. In-
cluded in the list of graduates were
the following from Centre county:
L. D. Whiting, Joseph Ceader and
C. E. Garbrick, Bellefonte; J. W.
Emigh, J. D. Files and H. L. Lichten-

has been made throughout Centre
county for the sale of Liberty Bonds
Centre countians have displayed con-
siderable patriotism in buying them,
if the estimate given by 4 certain
Bellefonte gentleman yesterday is
anyways near correct. He stated that
while he had no late definite figures
he estimated that anywhere from
$600,000 to $1,000,000 would be taken

i NOONAN.—Following an illness
{ that dated back a number of months
| James Augustus Noonan, landlord of
the Brant house, died at 1:30 o’clock
p. m., on Tuesday.
He was a son of Dominic and Eliz-
abeth Noonan and was bern at Axe
Mann on April 27th, 1865, hence was
52 years, 1 month and 15 days old.
Practically his entire life was spent
in Bellefonte and he had been land-
lord of the Brant house for thirteen
years. He was a member of St.
John’s Catholic church, a member of
the Logan Fire company and the
Bellefonte Lodge of Moose. Mr.
Noonan was a good citizen and a man
who was upright and honest in all his
dealings with his fellowmen.
There were two outstanding char-
acteristics in the life of the deceased
that should serve as a lesson to living
men of more ambition. His integrity
was unimpeachable, in fact he carried
to extremes his scrupulous honesty
and his insistence on dealing fair with
all men. His devotion to his family
was rare and it has had its very prop-
er reward. He is gone, but if there
were nothing else that he had to leave
the memory of these two cardinal
principles of real manhood that he
possessed would be a comforting her-
itage to those who are bereaved and
a splendid fingerboard for others of
us to follow.
On May 16th, 1893, he was united
in marriage to Miss Louise Gleason,
in St. Mary’s Catholic church, Tioga,
and she survives with two daughters,
the Misses Margaret and Geraldine
Noonan, both at home. He also leaves
one sister, Mrs. Mary Brown, of How-
ard street. :
Funeral services will be held in St.
John’s Catholic church at 10 o’clock
tomorrow morning by Rev. Father
Gallagher, after which burial will be
made in the Catholic cemetery.
