 Thousand Islands Sun Alexandria Bay, N. Y ' Thurs., Nov. 2, 1961 Entertains 117 limner Classmates HAMMOND — Mrs. Merrill Demiek (Mae Eliza Daniels) re- cently entertained seventeen of her former classmates of the old Hammond High school, at her ; home near Hammond. Three members of the class of 1914 were present, Elizabeth Turnbull Wilbur, Albany Edna Rogers, Ithaca' and Veta McLear Lee Hammond. Members of classes of subsqu- ent years who enjoyed the re- union were Helen Demiek, Flor- ence Burton Dygert, Flossie Nicol Watson, Audrey Kring Nelson, Clara Bickeihaupt Baxter, Ruth Kelsey Babcock, Agnes Chester sl ical Advertising va McLear Lavarnway, all from Hammond or vicinity also Cecill McGregor Northam, Ogdensburg and Joyce Banford Arnold from Potsdam. Other who came from some distance were Lillian Wilson, Rochester Marg- aret Besley Cousins, Fort Erie, Ontario and Dorothy Powers Voight, Fayetteville, N. Y. The showing of an enlarged photograph of the entire highland grade school students, taken in approximately 1908, and the efforts in identifying them pro- vided considerable amusement and entertainment during the the first hour. This was inter- spersed with the arrival of late comers whose identity had to be guessed. Reminiscing and games followed along with the passing of family snapshots by proud grandmothers. Messages of re- gret were read from several of those unable to attend. Refreshments consisted of fruit punch, ice cream, cookies and a large two tiered cake made loc- ally by Mrs. Vincent Gibson and beautifully decorated with the name and date of the occasion. Pencils inscribed with the words H. H. School mate were presented to everyone present by the hostess as mementoes and prizes were awarded to Margaret Cousins and Elizabeth Wilber for having traveled the longest dist- ance 270 and 230 miles respec- tively. The hostess, Mrs. Demiek has remained in Hammond since her high school days and is widely known as the successful operator of Demiek’s Motel, owned by her and her husband.
