S. Alumni are inter ested in the purchase of a new piano for the school building, and at the recent reunion the need of a new instrument was very forcibly presented. The old one has now been in use for about twenty-five years, which is long past the limit of real usefulness, and it ought to be ref placed by an instrument that will make for harmony in furthur musical study in the school. Several contributions have been received from out of town graduates, and with the sum given by the class of 1911 and the money received at the reunion a beginning has been made. It is hoped the response to furthur appeals in behalf of the fund will be liberal, and that the purchase of a piano will be possible during the coming school year.

The first reunion of Woodstock High school alumni since 1904 was held at the Assembly hall of the school building last week Friday evening, August 18. Rain fell all the evening and kept many people at home, but over one hundred forced their way through the flood, and in the comfortable, well lighted audito rium, weather matters were entirely forgotten. The presence of 89 graduates of Woodstock High made it 8 successful reunion, and in their interest and enthusiasm it was voted, at the businese meeting, to have another gathering in August of next year. The members of the committee in charge, Miss Alice L. Eaton, Miss Susie M.

Montague and Pliny J. Hamilton, were very sincerely interested in bringing together as many of the alumni as possible, and also in promoting the fund for the purchase of a new piano for the school building, and this fund, for which the class of 1911 gave $25, was substantially increased. The reunion was enjoyable in its informality and there was a pleasant social hour before the entertaining program was reached. Ferns and flowers were used in the decorations of the stage, this work being in charge of Mr. and Mrs.

G. R. Winslow, and it was pleasingly and effectively done. Compliments were as well due the committee on refreshments, Miss Grace G. Marble, Miss Florence L.

Thomas recalled entertainingly the High school of her younger days, and the musical numbers were especially well rendered, the old piano doing its part as well as could be expected, its tuneful shortcomings being overlooked for once. Mrs. Olzendam spoke of the need of a new piano for the hall. She alluded critically to the too general impression that anything in the shape of a piano was good enough to practice on, saying that a beginner should have the best; that a poor instrument was a positive injury and tended only to put one out of tune with things. Mr.

Emmons read the following poem, penned by himself, as he rebelled at trying to talk about Vermont in the alloted five minutes: VERMONT. There's a state up 'mongst the mountains, Far away from city strife, And my heart with longing's filling For its restful country life. In the balmy summer evenings When the thrush sings to his mate. Memory ofttimes keeps returning To the old Green Mountain State. Every green clad hill's reflecting Beauties nowhere else we find: Every trickling, brook is making Music the sweetest kind.

Sunlight floods the glorious valleys, Ancient trees their tales relate Of days when the savage red men Roamed our Old Green Mountain State. Kind hearts in kind breasts are throbbing With a gentle sympathy; Noble sires and noble mothers Of a baraye, posterity. In the field achievement, Ranking with the nation's great, Many, many men are numbered From the Old Green Mountain State Pride of nations, fairest, brightest, Gem Columbia's crown; Loyal sons admire, adore thee, Scatter wide thy great renown. Many climes shall hear thy praises, Vermont's children shall narrate Tales which tell the countless glories Of their dear Green Mountain State The roll call by classes was responded to as follows: Hatch 1863, Emma Richmond Adams, Emma Marshall, Lucy E.
