the Scenic is the only motion picture

manager Brown does not take advan-
tage of that fact to hand out any kind
of a program, but keeps right up in
the fore front with the best pictures
obtainable. This is the reason why so
many people go to the Scenic.
——After winning twenty straight
games and not a defeat during the
season the Penn State baseball team
went to Philadelphia last Saturday
and lost to the University of Pennsyl-
vania nine by the score of 4 to 2. At
that the State boys played a good
game but their god of luck was miss-
ing and the breaks were all in favor
of the Quaker city team. Of course it
would have been a wonderful thing if
the team could have gone through the
season undefeated, but as it is they
have established a remarkable record.
The body of George Mayhew,
one of Bellefonte’s contingent of col-
ored soldiers who was killed in France
in July, 1918, arrived in Bellefonte on
‘Wednesday, and the funeral will be
‘held at two o’clock on Sunday after-
noon and will be in charge of the
American Legion. The remains are
Tiow at the morgue of undertaker
Hard P. Harris and on Sunday after-
noon will be brought down to Ameri-
can Legion headquarters in the
“Watchman” office building, and the
Legion will march in a body to the
cemetery.
The poppy was the favorite
flower over Memorial day, but at that
many people had to go without be-
cause the supply was not sufficient to
go around. The American Legion had
arranged for a supply of poppies, ex-
pecting at least a thousand, but when
they came there were only four hun-
dred and fifty and those were sold be-
fore six o'clock on Saturday evening.
So many inquiries were made for the
little flower that Miss Cooney, of The
Hat Shop, turned over her entire sup-
ply of small silk poppies to the Amer-
ican Legion and every .one of them
was sold Saturday evening.

| COMMENCEMENT EXERCISES
: Large Crowds Attend Bellefonte High
i School Commencement.
The annual commencement exercis-
"es of the Bellefonte High school have
"attracted large crowds to every event
: this week. Beginning with the bacca-
i laureate sermon on Sunday evening,
i the Methodist church was erowded to
capacity. The graduating class, in
caps and gowns and escorted by the
members of the school board and fac-
ulty, marched in a body from the High
school building to the church where
seats were reserved for them in the
centre of the front portion of the
church. Rev. Alexander Scott preach-
ed a most inspiring sermon, replete
with gems of thought and inspiration
for the forty-nine young men and
women who this week completed their
four years’ course of work in the High
school.
The Junior declamatory contest on
Monday evening drew a large crowd
to the auditorium of the High school
building. The program was publish-
ed in full in last week’s paper and was
carried out in detail. Each one of the
contestants did exceedingly well and
it was only by a narrow margin that
the judges were able to decide the
prize winners as Marjory Hill and
Harold Wion, with favorable mention
for Lois Foreman and Edmond C. Mil-
ler. The gross receipts Monday night
were $44.40, which will be applied to
the library fund.
Notwithstanding the excitement of
the Academy fire on Tuesday evening
a large crowd thronged the High
school auditorium to hear the beauti-
ful biblical oratorio, “Queen Esther,”
as sung by the High school chorus un-
der the personal direction of Mrs. W.
C. Krader. This was a musical treat
for all who attended and proved one of
the best events of the week’s exercis-
es. It was repeated to another large
audience on Wednesday evening. The
receipts from the two entertainments
were $195.00, gross, which will be ap-
plied to the music fund.
The plays given by the grade
schools on Wednesday and yesterday
mornings drew good audiences, espe-
cially the parents and friends of the
young pupils taking part. While
greater interest probably centered
around the events in connection with
the graduating class, the younger pu-
pils were deserving of an equal
amount of encouragement, as each and
every one carried through the part as-
signed them in a most creditable man-
' ner.
Many visitors were attracted to the
High school building Tuesday, Wed-
{ nesday and yesterday to inspect the
i various exhibits in industrial arts,
{ manual training and household arts
i departments, displays that exceeded
those of any former year. It is im-
| possible to give even a faint idea as to
| what the students have accomplished
lin the above departments in the brief
space at our command. The exhibits
‘had to be seen to be appreciated, but
| they show that in these days schooling
is not confined to “readin’ writin’ and
’rithmetic” but the young boys and
girls are taught practical things, as
well.
The final event was held in the High
! school auditorium last night when Dr.
John M. Thomas, the new president of
The Pennsylvania State College, de-
livered the commencement address to
the graduating class. This was pres-
ident Thomas’ first public appearance
in Bellefonte and naturally the audi-
torium was crowded to hear him. He
is a fluent and polished speaker and
each and every one of the graduates
were undoubtedly impressed with the
sound, common sense logic which was
the predominating feature of his ad-
i dress.
The evening’s exercises concluded
with the presentation of diplomas to
the various graduates and the award-
ing of prizes by Charles F. Cook, of
the Bellefonte school board. The com-
pleie list of the graduates was pub-
lished in the “Watchman” last week.
The social climax of the commence-
ment will be the alumni reception to
the graduating class which will be
held in the armory this evening.
Wright's saxaphone orchestra, of
Columbus, Ohio, will furnish the mu-
sic and the arrangements as made pre-
sage a most enjoyable event. Any one
desiring to attend and who has not yet
secured tickets can purchase same at
Casebeer’s jewelry store.

ANOTHER BELLEFONTE FIRE.
Entire Top Burned Off Bellefonte
Academy Tuesday Evening.
The Bellefonte Academy, Belle-
fonte’s historic school on the hill over-
looking the big spring was badly dam-
aged by fire on Tuesday evening. The
flames were first discovered in the at-
tic over the colonade and as the attic
was open from end to end they spread
quite rapidly and it was only a ques-
tion of minutes until they had broken
out through the rocf and the entire
southern part of the attic was on fire.
Both fire companies responded to the
alarm but notwithstanding their ef-
forts the flames spread until the entire
roof was ablaze. The roof and the
building down to and including the
third story were badly burned but
there the flames were checked and
finally extinguished.
A call was sent to Lock Haven for
help and a motor pumper was sent up,
making the run in forty-five minutes.
It immediately went into action and
assisted materially in reducing the
danger of any further spread of the
flames, though the fire was virtually
under control when they got here.
While the fire did not reach the sec-
ond floor considerable destruction was
wrought in the lower part of the build-
ing by the immense quantity of water
used to extinguish the flames. Head-
master James R. Hughes has so far
been unable to estimate the damage
but it will probably be anywhere from
$30,000 up. He carried $22,000 insur-
ance. The one hundred or more stu-
dents were taken into private homes
Tuesday night and kept until arrange-
ments could be made for their lodg-
ing until the examinations are com-
pleted. The kitchen and the dining
room of the Academy are located in
the basement of the building and they
were gotten in shape on Wednesday
to feed the students as usual. Most of
the boys naturally concluded that they
would go directly home on Wednesday
but Mr. Hughes very firmly insisted
that they all stay and complete their
examinations, as the Academy will
close next week. He has made ar-
rangements to use the High school
building from tomorrow on and will
complete his school year there.
All the students and members of
the faculty worked valiantly to save
as much as they could and got most of
the stuff out of the building, but there
has been considerable complaint about
stuff being carried away by boys and
others after it was out of the build-
ing. One boy was seen with a half
dozen pair of shoes, but whether he
got away with them or not, is not
known. One thing was quite mani-
fest, however, and that was the indis-
criminate handling of students’ books
and clothing by boys who had no bus-
iness there, and emphasizes the fact
that at such times strict police super-
vision would not be amiss.
In 1904 the Academy was badly
damaged by fire and after being re-
built was entirely remodeled in 1913.
Mr. Hughes will put men to work at
once cleaning up and will repair the
building just as quickly as possible.
Auto Party Had Narrow Escape.
Frank Crust and a party of six
women and girls had a narrow escape
on Monday morning when their auto-
mobile was struck by the Lewisburg &
Tyrone train on the Dale Summit
crossing and smashed into kindling
wood just after every member of the
party had jumped from the machine.
And the only injury sustained by any
one were a few slight scratches by
one of the girls who stumbled and fell
as she jumped from the machine.
Mr. Crust and party were on their
way to State College for the Memorial
day exercises. As they rounded the
curve at Dale’s Summit they saw the
train bearing down upon them. Had
they kept right ahead they would have
gotten over the railroad but Mr. Crust
endeavored to stop the automobile and
back out of danger, but unfortunately
he did not get the car stopped until it
was directly on the track, and then,
he stalled his motor. Realizing that
whatever was done would have to be
done quickly he called to the ladies to
jump and they all jumped. The very
fact that all of them got out of the car
and clear of the track is evidence that
had they gone ahead they could have
gotten across the track in safety.
The train, however, hit the machine,
a Hupmobile, broadside and literally
smashed it to smithereens. In fact
the impact was so great that the
heavy iron pilot on the engine was
driven back under the pony wheels and
the train crew had to pry it out and tie
it up with rope before they could con-
tinue the trip to Bellefonte.
mr ste
Motorcycle Endurance Run.
A fleet of approximately forty mo-
torcyclists, probesbly a few more or
less, will leave Pittsburgh tomorrow
morning, weather permitting, on an
endurance run to Williamsport. They
are expected to leave the Smoky city
about ten o’clock in the morning and
reach Bellefonte along about four
o’clock in the afternoon. Arrange-
ments have been made for the cyclists
to check in upon their arrival in
Bellefonte at the room of the Belle-
fonte Steam Vulcanizing company on
Bishop street. The run has been ar-
ranged by Mr. Liester, of the Harris-
burg Tire and Rubber company, who
will be in Bellefonte and have person-
al charge of the checking in here.
