A MONDAY, JUNE 8, 1903- THE WILKES-BARRE RECORD MONDAY, JUNE 8, 1903. PLYMOUTH AND WEST SIDE TOWNS JAMES J. SHANLEY, Managen Main Street, Plymouth. People's Phone Phone 18-5 7108 Old The class day exercises of the high school, given in the armory last Friday evening, drew out an audience which filled the hall, and all the participants acquitted themselves very creditably. The, opening address was made by Deborah Walters, who explained the purpose a class day, and welcomed the friends, whose presence evidenced their interest in the work of the class.

Emma Martin followed with a reading of the class history, which described the school life of those who were about to leave it. The feature of the evening, however, WAS the production of scenes from Shakespere's "Merchant of Venice" by members of the class. For several weeks past the seniors have been studying their parts, under the direction of Miss Watt, their elocutionary Instructor, and the success which crowned the efforts of all was a pleasing revelation to the audience and a source of extreme gratification to the Instructors. Five scenes were produced and each participant performed his or her part with wonderful ability, The exercises came to a close with the rendition of the class song, the words of which were by Miss Stella Freeman and the music by Prof. George H.

Parrish. Last evening Rev. E. A. Loux preached the baccalaureate sermon to the class in the Presbyterian 1 Church.

This evening the commencement exercises.in connection with the graduation of the class will take place in the armory. Diplomas will be conferred and a program of essays and orations rendered.

That year was notable for its extreme summer drought and forest fires in CUT the Atlantic States, the lower lake region and the Ohio Valley, and on September 1 a vast cloud of smoke was reported from nearly all stations between the Maine coast and Detroit. Though under the influence of northerly and northeasterly winds the smoke was soon carried away from the North Atlantic coast districts.

few days later, when the winds shifted and blew from westerly points, the smoke reappeared in these districts, and on September 6 it enveloped the whole of New England south of Maine and also much of southeastern New York. On this occasion the smoke came from the west.
