ACADEMY SMOKER MOST ENJOYABLE Old Songs and Toasts Enliven Informal Program of Last Evening Reminiscent reviews of the past, a pleasant consideration of the present, and a rosy look into the future were given to the large number of alumni who gathered last evening in the gaily decorated gymnasium of the llarrisburg Academy for the third an nual smoker. In the absence of Gen eral Horace Porter, the role of oldest graduate present was played by E. Z. Wallower, who responded nobly to the call. Several generations were represented, and the occasion was en livened by instrumental music and singing of many old songs. Each "grad" as h.e arrived, was tagged by a committee, presented with a frag rant carnation, and asked to sign t lie register provided for the purpose. Each was then given a card bearing his name and as a result the gathering became less formal and everybody came to know everybody else. Many of the graduates whose faces had not been seen for years were there, and a number traveled from other cities in the State in order to be present. William Jennings, president of the Alumni Association, acted as toast master and called Upon the following speakers: E. Z. Wallower, Dale Flem ing. William M. 1 largest, Vance C. McOormiek, Edward J. Stackpole, Jr., John M. Smith, Edwin S. Herman, Mercer B. Tate, Jr., and Professor Howard R. Omwake. Ehrman B. Mitchell, Jr., secretary of the asso ciation, read a telegram from Wallace McCamant on the Pacific Coast, and a letter from General Porter, both expressing regret at their inability to be present. At the close of the evening the fol lowing officers were elected to serve for the Alumni Association during the coming year: Robert McCortnick, president: Ehrman B. Mitchell, Jr., secretary and George E. Etter, treas urer. 'PICK-UP'PLOWS JNTO CROWD AT LUCKNOW [Continued From First Pago.] booming down the tracks. Harry B. I.yter of Dauphin saw it first and he shouted a warning as he threw him self backward. The engine brushed his legs and knocked him into Elmer Keaser of Dauphin, hurling them both clear of the tracks. The other passengers managed to scurry back safely. Nearly Across Gilday and Rhoades were nearly across the tracks when the warning was sounded. Gilday was slightly in the. lead and he jumped up against the side of the local when the engine roared past. His companion was struck, hurled a full car length and jammed beneath the rear wheels of a coach on the accommodation. One of the women passengers, frightened at her narrow escape from death and the sight of the injured man, fainted. She was speedily re vived. Rhoades sustained a fractured skull and internal injuries which render his condition so critical that physicians at the Harrisburg Hospital fear to operate. Witnesses say the "pick-up" which hauls workmen from the shops to Enola was traveling at thirty-five miles an hour and did not stop after plowing through the crowd. George Rhoades. who was nineteen years of age, played center field on the Dauphin team of the Dauphin- Perry league last summer and is widely known through Central Penn sylvania. His brother, Charles Rhoades witnessed the accident and helped remove him from beneath the wheels of the accommodation. WILL DANCE WITH FLAMING TORCHES [Continued Worn First Page.] could be conveyed in mere cold type. One will liave "to go to the ball to see. Generally speaking the scheme will be something like this: The walls of Chestnut street auditorium, the city's largest hall, will be covered with great panels of yellow and old gold tapes tries, stenciled storks and queer swords and dragons and things will help em phasize the effectiveness of the yellow backgrounds. The great steel super structure overhead—those rafters and things that are the trial of a decora tor's soul—will be hidden under hun dfeds of gay Japanese and Chinese lanterns which will peep ever so effec tively from amid wistaria and iris. The supper room will be a short stroll into a smaller garden—the adjoining ball. There beneath cosier trellis will be the tiny table that will accompany the four of you, the six of you—or Just the two of you, as you prefer. There the lights will glow a little more softly perhaps: the music will sound a little sweeter for the distance. The Dance of the Torc.be* The Pageant of Dancing which is to preeeue the hall will include a new number—the "Dance of the Flaming Torches" of the Middle Ages. Miss Katherine Noland, who will in struct all the dancers in the varied steps that will tell the story of danc ing, saw this in New York recently, but the feature number of the Charity Ball will embody some of her own ideas.
