Commencement Exercises at St.
John’s School.
A delightful treat was afforded a
large and appreciative audience by
the class night exercises given at
Saint John’s hall on Friday evening,
June third. “The Honor of the Class,”
a pretty playlet in one act, was pre-
sented by the students of the Senior
and Junior classes; and a girls’ drill,
“The Snow Storm,” was participated
in by the pupils of the sixth, seventh
and eighth grades. The splendid mu-
sic throughout was rendered by the
school orchestra.
A timely address was given by
Very Reverend Wm. E. Downes, in
which he made an appeal to the par-
ents in regard to the regular attend-
ance of their children at school and of
the necessity of a Christian education.
Premiums were awarded as follows:
To Eugenia C. Bauer, Elizabeth A.
Gherrity, Christine A. Gillen and
Elizabeth T. Hazel, a certificate of
proficiency from the Andrew J. Gra-
ham Institute of New York city.

ty of living up to the high ideals of
their christian education.

mercial course were awarded to Joseph

——An incident not on the program
occurred at the High school com-
mencement exercises last Thursday
evening when Charles Wagner, presi-
dent of the class, arose and announced
that the class had eighty dollars in
the hands of its treasurer which they
- had voted to turn over to the Belle-
fonte fire department toward the pur-
chase of new fire fighting equipment.
He, therefore, called upon John J.
Bower to come forward and get the
money. Mr. Bower not being present
he called for James C. Furst. That
gentleman also being among the ab-
sentees he called for Charles M. Mc-
Curdy, but he, too, was not present.
Finally he called for Thomas Morgan,
a member of the Logan Fire company,
to step forward and get the money and
as Mr. Morgan is janitor at the school
building, he naturally was present and
stepped up and got the eighty dollars.
French Pilot Pin Lost.
A French aerial pilot’s pin was lost
last Saturday afternoon, somewhere
between Mott’s drug store and the
Bush house, Bellefonte. It is a silver
pin about the size of a half dollar,
with a star and mercury wings and is
of little value to any person other than
the owner. A reward will be paid for
return to Mrs. Charles A. Morris, at
the Bush house.

Academy Building.
| While the above picture shows how
| completely the rocf was burned from
ithe main building of the Bellefonte
{ Academy by the disastrous fire of
: Monday evening, May 30th, it fails to
| convey the destruction wrought by the
i flames on the third floor or the dam-
| age by water to the rest of the build-
ing. But notwithstanding the forlorn
appearance now the building will be
in shape for the opening of the Acad-
emy school year next September. In
fact work was started on Tuesday to
clean up the debris and as soon as
this is done repairs on the building
will be begun. The walls, of course,
are uninjured and a good force of men
will make rapid progress with the
roof and interior work. As planned,
now, a fireproof roof will be put upon
the building.
Headmaster James R. Hughes wish-
es through the “Watchman” to extend
his grateful acknowledgement to those
families in Bellefonte who so kindly
took in his students after the fire and
have housed them ever since. And not
only those, but to the others who so
generously offered to take some of the
boys. In fact so generous was the re-
sponse that housing accommodations
were offered for upward of three hun-
dred students. Naturally, this is won-
derful encouragement to Mr. Hughes
to know that so many people in the
town have so willingly stood back of
him in this time of need.
For Mr. Hughes, himself, the
“Watchman” has no hesitation in say-
ing that he has shown a courage and
determination rarely equalled by any
man under such trying circumstances.
Nine out of ten men placed as he was
would have closed their school the
evening of the fire and dismissed all
their students. But he considered dif-
ferently. He had the money to pay
! for his students to the end of the term
and he conscientiously felt it his du-
ty to render value in full therefore.
In addition he considered it only fair
to the young men themselves that they
be required to stay and take their ex-
aminations. Most of the colleges ac-
cept students on certificate from the
Bellefonte Academy and as upwards
| of forty of the students are planning
‘to go to college next year, it was to
| their interest that they take their
| exams and get a rating.
| Considerable pressure was brought
| to induce Mr. Hughes to forego the
exams and allow the boys to go home,
but he was firm in his refusal to do so;
‘and one of the reasons he gave was
| that it might establish a precedent and
| be an incentive to some weak-minded
| boy to burn his school house, academy
or college, for that matter, just to se-
| cure freedom from the restraints of
school life. And to the credit of the
students it can be said that once they
got Mr. Hughes’ viewpoint soaked into
them they in the main saw the justice
of his stand and became resigned to
stay. Only two of the entire body
turned out as recalcitrants, and they
were sent home.
Mr. Hughes also in this public way
acknowledges the courtesy of the
Bellefonte school board and High
school faculty in so cheerfully grant-
ing him the use of the High school
building in which to hold his examin-
ations and complete his year’s work.
It is the one thing that enabled him
to pull through to a successful finish.
Another Fire in Academy Property.
Just after the “Watchman” went to
press last Thursday evening fire was
discovered in the attic of the Acade-
my house occupied by Charles Hughes
and family and which is also used to
house a number of students. Firemen
were quickly on the scene and the
flames were extinguished without do-
ing any great damage. In fact more
damage was probably done by the
water than fire.
The fire was discovered in the attic,
an unoccupied portion of the building,
and according to those first on the
scene it looked very much as if it was
the deliberate work of a firebug. Fire-
men aver that they found the lock on
the door leading to the attic broken
and in the attic a burning lamp close
to a pile of old papers. All kinds of
rumors were soon in circulation imn-
plicating a number of students but up
to the time this article was written
on Monday no definite information was
uncovered fixing the blame on any
one. Infact the three or four individ-
uals at first suspected were able to
prove themselves innocent by account-
ing for every minute of their time pre-
vious to the fire. :
The peculiarit- and similarity of
both the fire in vhe Charles Hughes
residence and the one that burned the
top off the Academy main building on
Monday evening of last week indicate
the work of a firebug, but so far the
crime has not been fastened upon any

life and property to be running at
large.
Rebersburg Man Killed in Auto Acci-
dent on Sunday.
Wilbur Lee Diehl, of Rebersburg.
was instantly killed in an auto acci-
dent in the Millheim Narrows on Sun-
day afternoon. Driving his own Over-
land car he had taken his wife and
three children and Mrs. Gephart for a
drive over to Millheim. On the trip
home Mr. Diehl was the middle one of
three cars going through the Narrows,
the others being S. A. Bierly and T.
C. Bierly. At a2 point where Philips
creek flows into Elk creek Mr. Diehl
in some way lost control of the steer-
ing gear and the car he was driving
ran down over the bank and overturn-
ed. Mrs. Gephart jumped out and
Mrs. Diehl and children escaped with
cuts and bruises but Mr. Diehl was
pinned under the car and killed in-
stantly. When taken out it was found
that his neck was broken and he had
| also sustained a bad fracture of the
i skull. All the other injured are get-
Jas . :
ting along all right.
The unfortunate young man was a
son of Mr. and Mrs. Robert O. Diehl
"and was born at Rebersburg, being 34
years, 2 months and 3 days old. A
good portion of his life had been spent
in other parts of the State, he and his
family going to Rebersburg from
Pittsburgh just about a month ago.
He was a carpenter by occupation and
expected to go to work in a few days
for contractor G. P. Garrett. In addi-
tion to his wife and three children he
is survived by his parents, living at
Kettle Creek, Pa. Burial was made at
Rebersburg yesterday afternoon.
Ground Broken for New Unit to Silk
Mill.
The Shamokin Construction compa-
ny on Wednesday broke ground for a
new unit to the J. C. and C. K. Eagle
silk mill in this place. Unit No. 1 was
put in operation about the first of the
year and at that time the owners nat-
urally were anxious as to securing the
amount of help needed. But there re-
ally wasn’t any cause for anxiety, as
applicants appeared faster than they
could be put to work until the mill
was filled with operatives. In fact
there are still many applicants on the
waiting list, and this is one thing that
has led the management to build
another unit.
The directors of the J. C. & C. K.
Eagle company were in Bellefonte sev-
eral weeks ago and it then developed
that they were seriously considering
the erection of a new unit, but their
ed that ground would be broken on
Wednesday. The Shamokin Construc-
tion company will erect the new build-
ing, which will be located just north
of the present building. In fact it will
connect with the main plant on the
north side and will be identical in con-
as possible, so that the new unit will
probably be in shape for operation be-
fore cold weather sets in in the fall.
A $225,000 Typographical Error.
The “Watchman” last week publish-
ed the amounts of the various appro-
priations given to State College and
one of the items was $25,000 for new
buildings. The item seemed so absurd
in view of the request made by college
authorities for money for building
purposes and the amount so insig-
nificant that inquiry was made as to
what it was intended for. It then de-
veloped that the figures were a typo-
graphical error in printing and that
the amount is $250,000, or just $225,-
000 more than first reported. While
this amount is away below the needs
of the college it is large enough to
permit of one or more much needed
buildings being erected.

RALPH ILLINGWORTH DUNLAP
Ferguson Township Soldier Laid to
Rest with Military Honors.
The “Watchman” last week told of
the arrival in Centre county of the
body of Ralph Illingworth Dunlap, a
member of the Boal Machine Gun
Troop who died of pneumonia at base
hospital No. 23 in France on October
12th, 1918, after he had fought for a
period of six weeks in the Argonne
Sector and was present at the taking
of Montfaucon. After lying in state
at the Boal camp at Boalsburg from
Wednesday evening until Saturday af-
“ternoon the body was taken to Pine
Grove Mills to the home of the sol-
Mrs. S. A. Dunlap,
military honors.
|
Funeral services were held in the
Methodist church at Pine Grove Mills
at four o’clock in the afternoon. Rev.
J. W. Long, of State College, was in
charge and was assisted by Rev. H. F.
Babcock, also of the College; Rev. A.
M. Lutton and Rev. J. S. Hammac, of
Pine Grove Mills. At the conclusion
of the services the remains were con-
veyed to the new cemetery under full
military escort. Leading the parade
was the Citizens band of Ferguson
| township; then Boal Troop, mounted; '
the four ministers on foot; the casket
containing the body carried on a ma-
chine gun truck with the pall bearers
seated in the gunner’s places; an au-
members of the family; a large num-
ber of friends on foot; the G. A. R.;
American Legion of Ferguson and
College townships with about twenty-
five members from Bellefonte.
At the entrance to the cemetery the
Boal Troop lined up in two mounted
columns and the cortege entered
| through their ranks.
The service at
the grave was brief and simple. At
the conclusion of the religious servic-
es the body was lowered to the grave
as the band played the “Star Spangled
Banner.” The regular salute of six
guns was then fired across the open
grave and the service ended with the,
sounding of taps by the Boal Troop
bugler.
The dead soldier was a son of Mr.
“and Mrs. S. A. Dunlap and was one of
the original members of Boal Troop,
having served with that organization
on the Mexican border. When the
National Guard was called for service
in the world war private Dunlap went
with the troop to Camp Hancock, Ga.,
trained there and went to France in
