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

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.
