Suppose that you had lived through two great economic depressions and were now living in a third. Suppose that you had read fresh from the press the works of i Tennyson, Longfellow, Stevenson, i Holmes, Kipling, Twain, Poe, and Browning. Suppose that “during vour life you had seen the electric light bulb, the telephone, the train, the au- tomobile, the radio, and the airplane advance from crude experiments into common use. Just think of the experi- ence you would have behind you if you had actually been acquainted with these events and personalities first- (hand. Then, you will appreciate the significance of these eighty-nine years. Now, let us review the life of our be- loved president who has experienced these things. “Following a line of English ances- try through the years until the seven- teenth century, we find the old Anglo- Saxon name of Spracken thoroughly Britainized into Sprague. With those determined Puritans forced to leave England, with many of Oliver Crom- well’s followers on the restoration of Charles II to the [throne were the ancestors of the Sprague family. In the early 1840's the immediate family of Dr. Sprague was living at Beekman, N. Y., and here December twenty- third, 1844, our beloved president was born, “Mr. Sprague followed the trade of the carpenter, and as his work took him from one town to another, the family was not established in one resi- dence for more than five years. In rapid succession, the Spragues lived in Beekman, Archbold, Harford, New Milford, and LeRaysville. At the age of thirteen, after having been educated in the grammar schools and brought up under the strict religious discipline of { his father, the youth left LeRaysville {to further his education at Wyoming Seminary. ‘Intent upon a business career, the {young man entered the Eastman Busi- ness School in 1865 and was graduated in the same year. “Nevertheless, he was forced to change his plans for ‘a business career, and the next year he took up a teach- ing position in LeRaysville Academy. Feeling a need for further education, he again set out for Wyoming Sem- nary in 1867. At Wyoming, he taught part time in the Commercial Depart- ment to pay his tuition. In 1868 he was appointed principal of the Com- mercial Department which position he held for fourteen years. Then in 1882, he was elected president of Wyoming Seminary. > { “Today, he is still serving in that capacity with the vigor and enthusi- asm of a man half his age. No one can realize the service that he has done in his contacts with thousands of young men and women during his period of work that he has accomplished and the fine things he has done. “The faculty and students join upon this, his eighty-ninth birthday, to con- gratulate him and wish him many more years of service in the fine insti- tution whose destinies he has guided for so many years.” in- | service. No one can realize the great Christmas Cheer Many thousand Girl Scouts like these two happy Samaritans are now distributing baskets overflowing with Christmas bounty for families that will otherwise lack the “trimmings” essential to a joyous celebration. Shavertown Fire Company Election George Prater Is Retained As President; To Be Installed Dec. 27 Shavertown firemen at their regular meeting held in the form of a social in the basement.of the Lutheran Church last Thursday night nominated with- out opposition the officers for the com- ing year.

Twenty-five new members were add- ed to the rolls of the company) in the recent drive for members bringing the total to about 65. It is the desire of the officrs to increase this member- ship to about 200. Several pieces of ground suitable for a community building and fire house were discussed by the membership after a report had been given by the committee in charge. The Wardan Kunkle property on Main street oppo- site the A & P store was offered for $1,150, No price has been received on the Oberst property on West Center street. Other properties discussed were the Ferguson plot on West Center street, the Humbleby building on Main street, and a plot of .ground if the proper connections can be made may be secured at a reasonable price sind honor of a well known man who died several years ago. It was understood that if the company would change its name to this man’s, the plot would be donated. The plot in question was to be presented for park purposes to the billage of Shavertown by the owner. The . members enjoyed a talk by Wardan Healey of the County Prison and an entertaining program by Rob- ert Roberts of Kingston, a hypnotist, was well received. Refreshments were served to the fifty members present. It is not too late as yet to enter Your name on the fire company roster. Christmas Services (Continued from Page 1) Centermoreland M. E.
