BELLEFONTE HIGH SCHOOL
ANNUAL COMMENCEMENT.
Exercises which Featured the Week’s
Activities.
The forty-fourth annual commence-
ment of the Bellefonte High school,
with its accompanying exercises,
gan last Friday evening, with the
alumni dance, which was held in the
new pavilion at Hecla park. Bot-
torf’s orchestra, of State College, fur-
nished the music.
There was an unusually large at-
tendance because the dance was made
more or less a public affair and not
confined exclusively to the alumni,
and their guests of honor, the gradu-
ating class. It proved a delightful
function. -
BACCALAUREATE SUNDAY.
On Sunday evening, June 5th, the
graduating class, numbering about
sixty, accompanied by two members
of the Board of Education and the
High school faculty, marched to the
Presbyterian church, where the bacca-
laureate sermon was preached by the
Rev. Homer C. Knox, of the Metho-
dist church, the other ministers tak-
ing part in the service. The music
for this occasion was furnished by a
choir of grade school children from
both buildings, under the direction of |
Alberta M. Krader, music supervisor
of the public schools.
Rev. Knox took his text from Micah
6 and 8, “What doth the Lord require
of Thee.” I, A world we must master.
II, A world me must serve. It was a
masterful sermon, just such an one as
was splendidly suited to the service,
which was very impressive through-
out. The singing of the grade child-
ren seemed to so inspire the immense
congregation that three grand old
hymns used were sung by it with a
spirit seldom heard in any of our
churches.
JUNIOR DECLAMATORY CONTEST.
On Monday evening the annual
Junior declamatory contest for the
Reynolds prizes was held in the High
school auditorium. The following
were the contestants with the sub-
jects of their speeches:
Edith Hile, “Driving Home the Cows.”
Carl Gettig, “The Unknown Speaker.”
Betsy Shank, “The Last Leaf.”
Louis Nichols, “Joan of Arc.”
Louise Tanner, “Laseca.”
Donald Conrad, “Pericles to the People.”
Kathryn Bullock, “Mother.”
John Shoemaker, “Bathing a Guide.”
Louise Meyer, “Absalom.”
Israel Jannet, “Roman Sentinel.”
The judges were Rev. Robert Thena,
of the Reformed church; Geo. F.
Reiter, assistant. Headmaster of the
Academy, and Glenn C. Rodgers,
County Supt. of Public Schools.
| They awarded first prize for girls to
Miss Louise Tanner for her very ex-
cellent recitation of “Lasca® and hon-.
orable mention to Louise Meyer
whose * interpretation of “Absalom”
was most dramatic. Donald Conrad
was given the first prize for boys,
with honorable mention for Carl
Gettig: s
The High school orchestra, which
i Je loge and best fhe Sehod has
d.. for some time, furnished the
bad for some time, Sumished.
SCHOCL PRESENTS PLAY.
The pageant, which for several
years had been such a spectacular
feature of the closing week of the
schools, was not repeated this year.
In its stead the High staged a play
in the school auditorium Tuesday
right and the grades presented a var-
ied program in the Richelieu theatre
Wednesday afternoon.
The High play was entitled “Cani-
bal Island” and was very cleverly
acted. Outstanding in the cast were
Louise Tanner, Louise Meyer, Ralph
Toner, John Shoemaker, Donald Con-
rad and Edward Worrick, all of whom
played their parts with the assurance
and effect of professionals.
Wednesday, June 8th, was the last
day of the school year. The grade
schocls celebrated the occasion in the
Richelieu theater, at 2 o'clock, with an
interesting and varied program.

STUDENTS PLAN MEMORIAL
| FOR PENN STATE COLLEGE.
According to an announcement of |
the Senior Class Memorial committee
l the class members, in coperation with
| the lower classes, have planned an
| enduring memorial for themselves at
| their alma mater in the shape of a
skating pond and winter sports field
| combined with an arboretum as an at-
| tractive and appealing entrance to the
college grounds.
| An artificial lake will be construct-
site of the old Centre Furnace, which
will be fed by the Thompson spring.
| While the lake will not be of great
‘size it will be large enough for skat-
ing and other winter sports. To con-
struct it the old mill dam will be
i cleaned out and dredged to the re-
quired depth. A new impounding wall
will be built with an adequate spill-
way to carry off the constant flow of
water. The site of the lake is in a
natural bowl and it is also planned to
construct a toboggon slide and ski
jump from one of the surrounding
hills.
Since the main State highway to
the College has been constructed over
the hill the old road is not thronged
with traffic and the aboretum will be
planted on both sides of the old road
in the narrow valley. Rare trees and
shrubs will be selected for this work
and in years to come should make a
truly magnificent entrance to the col-
lege grounds, all in plain view of
traffic on the present highway.
It is estimated that it will require
$8,000 to $10,000 to do the work and
the Senior class will start the fund
with the money they have pledged
for a memorial. Members of the
other classes have given assurance
that their memorial money will be ap-
plied to the fund and it is hoped that
this will result in a sufficient amount
to cover the cost of the work.
—-Tomorrow the great motor
races will be run in the Altoona bowl.
Forty-five drivers are now there at-
tempting to qualify for the event. As
a preliminary to the classic fifteen
semi-professional drivers will run a
fifty mile race. =

MRS. W. W. FUREY HONORED
ON 80TH ANNIVERSARY.
Memorial day had a double signif-
icance for Mrs. Morris W. Furey, of
Bellefonte. It was not only the day
for honoring the soldier dead but also
the 80th anniversary of her birth and
her family and friends made of the
latter event a two day’s celebration.
Gathering here on Sunday her son,
W. M. Furey, of Pittsburgh, was ac-
corded the right of leadership in the
celebration festivities and he arrang-
ed a motor trip to State College, Cen-
tre Hall and Milroy. At the latter
place the entire party partook of a
chicken and waffle dinner at the Mil-
roy Inn, driving home over the Sev-
en Mountains in the evening.
On Monday morning Mrs. Furey,
just to prove that she hasn’t lost any
of her culinary skill, served a bounti-
ful breakfast at her home on east
High street. The big feature of Mon-
day was a birthday banquet served
at the Brockerhoff house, at which
twenty-two guests were present. The
table was gay with decorations of
flowers, flags and nick-nacks, and a
huge basket of candy fashioned like
a floral emblem. There was also a
birthday cake, with candles forming
the figures “80.” The hostess blew
out all the candles but one, permit-
ting it to burn as a good omen. It
is needless to say that all enjoyed the
banquet.
The entire celebration was a most
enjoyable affair. Mother Furey re-
ceived many gifts and. mementoes,
one of which was a gold cabinet con-
taining four twenty dollar gold pieces -
of 1847 and 1927. She also had num-
erous letters and telegrams of con-
gratulation, one from Paris, France,
and others from DeMoines, Iowa;
Baltimore, Cleveland, Minneapolis,
Pittsfield and Springfield, Mass.; New
York, Philadelphia, Bridgeport, Buf-
falo, Pittsburgh and towns in Cen-
tre county. :
Mrs. Furey is the widow of the late
Morris Furey and a daughter of the
late Rev. Dr. English. The greater
part of her life has been spent in Cen-
tre county, and she is revered by all
who know her.
Among those who attended the cel-
ebration were Mrs. Furey’s sister,
Mrs. Amelia P. King, of Centre Hall,
who is 82 years old; Mr. and Mrs.
Hiram Lee, of State College; Mrs. S.
W. Kerstetter and Miss Louise Ker-
stetter of Curwensville; Mr. and Mrs.
J. A. Maxwell, of Bradford; Mr. and

burgh; Mr. and Mrs.. George Furey,
Gray Furey, Miss Mauvis Furey, Mr.
and Mrs. Herbert Larimer, ‘Morris
Larimer and Miss Emily Larimer, of
Bellefonte.
FLIERS AGAIN CROSS
“3% pm THE ATLANTIC OCEAN.
2 SEA wy 14 i bas 34 4
A new long-distance flying record of
3,780 miles was established in the
trans-Atlantic flight of Clarence D.
Chamberlin and Charles A. Levine, in
the Columbia monoplane. The two
men hopped off ‘at Roosevelt field, N.
Y. at 6.05 Saturday morning and
landing at Eisleben, Germany, at mid-
night, Sunday night. They were
bound for Berlin, but were forced
down because they ran out of gas.
Securing a supply of gas they again
took to the air af 4.30 Monday morn-
ing but became lost in the clouds and
rain and again were forced down on
account of motor trouble, landing in
a swamp at Klinge, 110 miles south-
west of Berlin. One of the propellers
was broken in the landing.
The former record of 2,610 miles,
established by Captain Charles A.
Lindbergh on his New York to Paris
flight, was shattered by the Bellanca
monoplane Columbia shortly after it
had passed Boulogue Sur Mer on the
northwestern coast of France.
The new record was established
when the plane made its forced land-
ing at Eisleben, about 110 miles
southwest of Berlin. > 7
_The Columbia in its trans-Atlantic
fiight also came near approaching the
world’s record for sustained flight re-
cently established by the same plane
with Chamberlin and Bert Acosta
when the pair flew over Long Island
for more than 51 hours. The present
endurance record was 42 hours.
The daring voyage of the Columbia
marked the third time the Atlantic
has been spanned in nonstop flights
by heavier than air machines. Alcock
and Brown, Englishmen, flying from
New Foundland to Ireland in 1919,
were the original trans-oceanic air-
plane trail blazers. Lindbergh’s great
flight came next. :
Chamberlin used about nine and
one-half gallons of his 451 gallons of
gasoline an hour, said Giuseppe M.
Bellanca, designer of the plane. This
consumption would permit 48 hours
of fiying, or fuel for a flight some dis-
tance beyond Berlin.
Chamberlin and Levine travelled
slower than Captain Lindbergh but
their flight was 180 miles longer than
that of the trans-Atlantic trail blazer,
The Columbia team was behind the
schedule set by Captain Lindbergh
throughout the voyage.
The Columbia following a more
southerly course than that of Lind-
bergh’s Spirit of St. Louis, covered
the 1,900 miles water jump from New
Foundland in just 21 hours, three
hours and 45 minutes more than that
required by Lindbergh.
After flying unsighted through Sat-
urday night the Columbia was seen
by the Cunard liner Mauretania 360
miles off the Scilly Islands at 11.30 a.
m. on Sunady. From then on steady
reports of her flight into Europe to-
ward the Berlin goal were received.
The two men took turns at guiding
the ship and were not overly fatigued
when they landed in Germany.
