Express Appreciation.
The group of State College seniors
who spent a day recently in Centre Hall
in the interest of rural welfare, were so
pleased with the cordial hospitality
shown them that they desire to make
the following public expression :
“It has been the desire of the fellows
and girls who spent the last week-end
in your town to express their apprecia-
tion of the warm welcome extended to
18 by your people. It certainly was a
wonderful experience for us, and we
want to publicly thank every one who
cooperated to make the meetings such a
success, and who so royally entertained
us in their homes during our short visit,
“We hope that we may have the
pleasant privilege of visiting Centre Hall
again some time in the near future.
“Very sincerely,
“CrAarence B. Davesrort.”

989 Years Total Ages of 12 at Party.
Centre Hall, among other things, is
noted for the longevity attained by its

are who are in the last decade of the
century,
A party was given at the home of Mr,
and Mrs, D, J. Meyer, on Friday, in
honor of Mrs, Mary Dinges, 92, and Mrs.

Excellent High School Literary Pro-
gram.
The “best ever” program was render.
ed by the literary society of the Centre
Hall High school, on Friday evening
in Grange Arcadia, to a full house. I
was the third program of the kind given
during the school year just about
close, and while each entertainment was
highly satisfactory to the audience and
highly creditable to the participants, the
last was voted by many as the best,
these entertainments, or rather public
sessions of the literary society, the par-
ticipants are from all classes of the High
school. The progress made in speaking
and acting by individuals as well as col-
lectively is noticeable. Principal Bart-
ges and his assistant, Miss Rowe, are
due congratulations for their efforts in
developing in the pupils under them a
literary and “'stage” spirit. The writer
takes oecasion to say here that while the
public shows its appreciation in attend.

too dark in color to inspire.
After the opening song, owed the
reading of the minutes, and then the
rendering of a playlet entitled, “Strik-
ing Oil." Of course, the story was a
love affair, in which the pretty daughter
of a wealthy couple was a figure, the
farmer and bis aristocratic wile having
made their mark by ‘striking oil.”
Lord Duttonhead was an Eaglish *Mutt’
who aimed to capture the heiress, and
William Hampton, an escaped lunatic,
was a central figure, who posed as the
English Lord, complicating matters very
much. The heiress rejected the Lords
overtures, leaving the maid of the house
as the only one successful in love affairs,

acting closed with a song entitled “Do

propriate although not part of the play.
