SIXTEENERS HOLD
ANNUAL REUNION
GATHERED HERE LAST THURS-
DAY AND REVIEWED
SCHOOL DAYS—MEM-
ORIAL FUND AUG-
MENTED
The thirty-fifth annual reunion of
the Mount Joy Sixteeners’ Associa-
tion was held in Mount Joy Hall last
Thursday. The association is com-
posed of persons who once attended
the Mount Joy Soldiers’ Orphans’
School. It is an affair always
largely attended, those coming here
meeting old friends and having the
opportunity of talking about the
Aays of the long ago.
\The affair is always a reunion and
pieniic. In the morning registration
took place in Mount Joy Hall.
After registering the sixteeners’
were taken from the Hall to the
Snyder’s Woods, and at noon a bas-
ket dinner was served. The dinner
gong that sounded the call to ‘“‘eats”
was a relic of the ld school. Before
the dinner President Jacob A.
Gramm made a short address.
At the afternoon exercises the fol-
lowing program was rendered:
Jacob Chillas, (South Bend, Ind.),
“Schools’ First Year”; Mrs. Kate
Foultz, Original Poem: Warren
Stouck, “My Tin Lizzie” or “Get-
ting Next”; Duet, Mrs. Weigelt and
Mrs. Weaver; Jackson Stokes, “Ault
Lang Syne”; Fulton (Profes-
sion#l), World Renewed Whistler;
Seward Jones (Boston), The School,
“Pro and Con”; Mrs. Minnie
The Most Thrilling Event of School
Days; Dr. T. Asher Hess Drummer
Boy of Civil War; “His Drum”
Humorous and Otherwise; Charles
E. Gearhart, Original Song; Boyd S.
Fowler, “How I Became an Orator’’;
Tom Knowles, The Memorial; Jacob
A. Gramm, “Reunions, Past and
Present.” .
In the early evening supper was
served and at 8 o’clock there was a
“march around” as the final feature
of a pleasant day.
At last year’s reunion the initial
steps were taken towards raising a
fund of $1,000 for the purpose of
erecting a suitable memorial in Mt.
Joy to the memory of the school and
to show the appreciation for the hap-
py reunion held in the borough, the
sum of $200 was raised at that meet-
ing and this was further increased
last Thursday.

We Have No Movies
With the sale of the Garden
Theatre last week, this town is with-
out a moving picture theatre. There
is some talk of several parties em-
barking in the business and manager
Leib, of the Mt. Joy Hall Association
is also giving the matter some
thought, inasmuch the new law
is not so strict on “second story”
movies where theatre buildings were
erected prior to the enactment of
gaid law.
We should have movies. Where
will the kiddies go on Saturday
night as well as many of the grown-
ups?

AN E'TOWN BOY DROWNS
IN A SHALLOW CREEK
A seven-year-old Conoy township
boy, John Gephart, son of Mr. and
Mrs. J. W. Gephart, residing along
the Conewago, on the Lancaster
county side of the stream, met death
by drowning, about 4 o'clock, Sun-
day afternoon. He was bathing in
the creek with two dozen other boys
at Nissley’s dam, at a point where
the water is about three feet deep.
Becoming tired before the others, as
he was the youngest member of the
party, he got out of the water and
sat on the bank, playing in the sand.
He was last seen alive in that po-
sition, on the brink of the creek, his
hands in the earth and sand, ap-
parently enjoying himself. The
| other lads continued to disport them-
selves in the water, paying no atten-
tion to the little fellow. They got
some little distance away from the
spot where he was last seen, when
suddenly an older brother noted the
| boy’s absence.
