Part II. HAVERHILL AZETTE FRIDAY, JUNE 15, 1916 SOCIETY AND PERSONAL Une of the most elaborate affairs of the past week was the fifth annual dinner of the Class of Nineteen Eleven at Bradford Academy. Their number was Well represented from girls now located in nearly every section of the United States, and the reunion afforded pleasure, the anticipation of which was only exceeded by the realization. Especial interest was evinced in the pursuits of the various members of the class since its departure from the Bradford Alma Mater. As soon as the company had entirely assembled, reports of the girls were given showing that the high ambitions of the class are being realized to a great degree. The seat of honor was held by their President, Miss Kate Ingram, who has just returned from Paris where she has had many consultations with Madame Chic. On returning home she will resume her leadership in the Woman's Club. At her right sat Miss McKim, whose experience as leader in the Bradford musical societies has made her an elficient conductor of her home church choir. A deep feeling of regret pervaded the company at the absence of Miss Perkins, who is now a prominent nurse in New York City and unable to obtain leave of absence on account of an important case in which her assistance was required. Miss W'iley, now Madame Wiley of Chicago, announced that she had re- cently opened a millinery establish- ment where modest women might purchase small hats at a reasonable expenditure. Miss Evelyn Knowlton, who has just returned from 'Porto Rico, where she has been a most successful teacher in a gymnasium, seemed very enthusiastic about her work. Miss jane Savercool recited extracts from her book on Friendship, which brought back memories of Bradford days. The party was delighted with the report of Miss Lyman, who has been working among the mountain whites but is now obliged to leave, owing to a more promising engagement which calls her home. Miss Edna King, now a singer of rare note in Madison Square Church of New York, was prevailed upon to render a few selections during the evening. fi Miss Teichmann, President of the Epicurean Club of St. Louis, helped make the party a success. Miss Tirzah Cady quite astonished the company when she announced that she had found her vocation as the cor- responding assistant in a matrimonial bureau.
