BELLEFONTE HIGH SCHOOL
GRADUATES SIXTY-EIGHT.
a
Week’s Program Closed with Dance
at Hecla Park Last Night.
Twenty-nine young men and thir-
ty-nine young women received diplo-
' mas at the annual commencement ex-
ercises of the Bellefonte High school,
: this week, the 45th class to graduate
in the history of the school.
The exercises incident to com-
mencement began with the Junior de-
clamatory contest, at the High school
building, last Friday evening. The
ten contestants were identical with
the list published in the Watchman
last week, and all of them presented
very creditable efforts. The judges
were James R. Hughes, Walter C.
Cohen and Rev. Clarence E. Arnold,
and they awarded the girl’s prize to
Kathryn Irwin, with honorable men-
tion for Helen Glenn, ang the boy's
prize to Frank Wallace with honor-
able mention for Fred Alexander.
The baccalaureate services took
place in the Presbyterian church on
| Sunday evening. The church was
| crowded to the doors with friends of
' the students and members of the var-
ious church denominations. The ser-
mon was delivered by Rev. Robert
Thena, of the Reformed church.
On Monday evening the High
school dramatic club gave a perform-
ance of “The Mikado” in the Riche-
lieu theatre. A large audience was
present and the young actors and
actresses gave a splendid rendition of
the comic opera as set in the Flow-
ery Kingdom.
On Tuesday morning the grade
schools gave their combined enter-
tainments in the Richelieu theatre,
carrying through in full the program
as given in last week’s paper.
The big event, naturally, was the
commencement on Tuesday evening,
also held in the Richelieu. The com-
mencement address was delivered by
Dr. Thaddeus Bolton, of Temple Uni-
versity, Philadelphia, which was fol-
lowed by the presentation of diplomas
and awarding of prizes by Dr. M. J.
Lock, president of the board of ed-
ucation.
A rather interesting situation de-
veloped when Dr. M. J. Locke called
on Prof. Clarence Smeltzer to intro-
duce Dr. Bolton. Ten years ago Clar-
ence, himself, was in the graduating
class of the Bellefonte High school,
being a son of Mr. and Mrs. W. C.
Smeltzer, of east High street, Belle-
fonte. He went to State for two
years then entered Columbia Univer-
sity where he was graduated in the
course in psychology and is now as-
sociate professor of the school of
psychology at Temple University
which Dr. Bolton heads. It was nat-
ural that the gentlemen should pay
one another very complimentary re-
spect and very gratifying to the large
audience to learn from Dr. Bolton
that a graduate of our local High is
doing impressive work in the great
Philadelphia institution.
Dr. Bolton’s talk was a very simple
presentation of what he regards as
the cardinal requisites to self sales-
manship; it being assumed that no
young man or woman can succeed in
these days without the ability to put
themselves across. First of his points
was the oral word. He urged infinite
care in choice of language so that it
expresses exactly what the speaker
thinks and means and is and it should
be brightened with the magnetism of
a smile. Next he impressed on the
class the persuasive effect of properly
constructed sentences of the written
words.. Then he concluded his very
appropriate remarks with the third
point. It was the irresistible poten-
tiality of self esteem.
The sixty-eight members of the
class who received diplomas are as
follows:
Katharine Barnhart, Eleanor IL. Benner,
Lillian Eleanor Billett, Kathryn B. Bul-
lock, Mary Kathryn Clevenstine, Marga-

FOUR CASES TRIED IN
CIVIL COURT LAST WEEK.
Judge A. R. Chase, of Clearfield, Pre-
sided, Sepecially, on the Cases.
Judge A. R. Chase, of Clearfield,
presided over common pleas court,
last week, as a substitute for Judge
Fleming. Cases heard and disposed
of were as follows:
Edna W. Carson vs. George W.
‘Weaver, a feigned issue. The action
was over a note held by the defend-
ant against D. H. Gates and H. P.
Carson. Failure to pay the note re-
sulted in an execution being issued
in 1925 and a sheriff’s levy made on
the property of H. P. Carson, but
when that was done Mrs. Carson filed
a property claim notice, asserting
that all the personal property be-
longed to her. The suit was to decide
the ownership and a verdict was re-
turned in favor of the plaintiff for
all the property named in the writ.
Brothers Coal company, being an ac-
tion in assumpsit, growing out of a
contract whereby the defendant com-
pany agreed with the plaintiff com-
pany to furnish coal at a certain stip-
ulated sum in the mine at Snow Shoe
to be shipped to the plaintiff com-
pany in Philadelphia, and failing in
this, action was brought against the
defendants and subsequently another
| agreement entered into whereby the
i defendants agreed to, and did, pay a
certain stipulated sum in cash and
agreed to deliver coal at the plant of
the plaintiff, which second agreement
i likewise failed and the case came to
trial at May term of court, 1927. At
the close of the plaintiffs’ case the
court granted a compulsory non-suit,
which was appealed to the Superior
court, which reversed the judgment
of the court of common pleas of Cen-
tre county and the case was sent back
for re-trial. A verdict in favor of the
plaintiff for $2142.18.
R. E. Ellis vs. Otto Adamitz, an
assumpsit. This case was from Snow
Shoe township and grows out of a
verbal contract between the plaintiff
and the defendant for income tax
work over assessment, general ac-
counting work for the defendant, and
preparation of proofs of loss subse-
quent to the destruction of defend-
ant’s property at Hi-Vue, near Sandy
Ridge, for the purpose of collecting
insurance on the property. The con-
tracts being oral there was consider-
able difference of opinion in the plain-
tiff’s and defendant’s testimony. Ver-
dict on Friday afternoon in favor of
the plaintiff for $948.52.
Mary Supiak vs. Albert Ernest, an
action in assumpsit. This case was
from Rush township, near Osceola
Mills, and grew out of a breach of
promise to marry her and the de-
fendant contending that the promise
was made on certain conditions, which
the plaintiff did not come up to. The
case was between two foreigners and
resulted in a verdict on Saturday af-
ternoon in favor of the plaintiff for
$60.00, although she had asked for
$10,000 damages.
Daniel Paul vs. O. P. McCord. This
case was continued on Monday on the
application of the defendant, one of
whose necessary and material wit-
nesses was in a sanitarium, having
within a week been operated upon.
The case was continued at the cost of
defendant.
The following cases were continued

Central Pennsylvania Gas Co. Gets
Certificate of Public Utility,
The Central Pennsylvania Gas
company was granted a certificate of
public utility, on Monday of this week,
by the Public Service Commission,
which leaves but one more require
ment to be met, and that is permis
sion from the State Highway Depart-
ment for the laying of the pipe lines
along the State highways, and the
company will then be in a position to
start work on their plant.
The site of the plant has now def-
initely been determined upon as near
Axe Mann. The triangular field just
south of the Rishel hill road, and west
of the railroad, has been decided up-
on as the best of the several locations
inspected. This piece of land was
purchased by Robert F. Hunter, last
week, from" Clinton Markle, who will
turn it over to the Gas company. The
field contains about five acres and is
protected on all sides from encroach-
ment of any kind. It is also right
on the line of the railroad, so that a
siding can be put in at a minimum of
expense. -«
While no date has as yet been de-
cided upon for breaking ground for
the plant it will probably take place
in the near future. And just as soon
as details for the pipe lines to Belle-
fonte and State College are worked
out with the State Highway Depart-
ment work will be begun in putting
down the pipe. A ditch digging ma-
chine will be used in doing this work.
The machine will cut a ditch six or
eight inches wide and from eighteen
inches to two feet in depth. Pipe
layers will follow on the heels cf the
machine and as fast as the pipe is
laid the ditch will be filled up.
While the plant is being built Belle-
fonte, State College and intermediate
points will be thoroughly canvassed
for prospective gas customers and
feed lines will be laid just as fast as
possible.
The company, which will make ev
ery endeavor to deliver gas by the
first of December, will appreciate fa-
vorable consideration on the part of
the citizens in the towns which will
be served, as streets and alleys will
be opened during the construction
period and later for the main pipe
extensions and service lines to houses.
The construction of this plant
means not only the realization of the
dreams of many progressive citizens
of Centre county and the culmination
of many years of effort of the chief
promoter, Mr. Robert F. Hunter, but
also the beginning of a lively activity
and direct or indirect benefits to ev
ery citizen.
The Logan Fire Co. Picnic.
The fire laddies of the Logan com-
pany are showing as much activity in
pushing’ the plans for their annual
picnic at Hecla park, on July 4th, as
they exert when the old siren on top
of the jail sounds an alarm of fire.
They have arranged for a ball game
at three o’clock in the afternoon be-
tween Centre Hall and the Bellefonte
Independents. They have also en-
gaged as an orchestra for dancing in
the big pavilion, afternoon and even-
ing, the Pennsylvania Ramblers, of
Sunbury. There will also be a full
line of other sports for both young
and old, and plenty to eat for all who
might go without a basket. Keep
the Logans in mind and go to the
park on the 4th.
Kiddies Must Register for Anuual
Picnic.
Owing to so much rainy weather
this week the Elks have extended the
time for closing of registration for
the annual kiddies picnic at Hecla
park to Monday evening, June 11th.
The committee in charge has an-
nounced that positively no one will
be allowed on the free busses un-
less they have registered and are car-
rying a tag. In former years many
children did not: take the trouble to
register but turned .up on picnic
morning and crowded out those who
had tags. This is the reason that the
committee has decided to take only
those who have tags. The picnic will
be held next Thursday, June 14th.
