VVilliam Holden of the 1909 class has recently joined the ranks of the benedicts. The Alumni wish him and his better half a long life of connubial bliss. john J. Gilmartin, ,IO, has been doing good work in Branch IQ, of the National Letter Carriers' Asso- ciation, and that branch has ac- knowledged his ability and compe- tence by electing him President. Myra Lindell, a member of last year's class, was married on March 4, to joseph Flynn. The entire stu- dent body of the P. E. H. S. and the Alumni join in wishing both her and her husband a prosperous and happy life. Myra was one of the most popular of the young women in the school last year and has a host of friends, who wish her great happiness. Arrangements have been complet- ed for the annual reunion of the Alumni of the P. E. H. S. A. This event is one that is eagerly awaited every year, as it affords the old grads a great opportunity to meet and renew old acquaintances. This year the banquet will be held in Lily Academy, on the first day of May. There will be dancing from eight o'cl0ck to one o'clock, with an inter- mission at nine, when the banquet will be served in the adjoining hall. This banquet is the principal fea- ture of the occasion, besides the viands there is usually a programme of post-prandial speeches that would grace any banquet in the State. Toasts are responded to by someone from each class. The graduating class or the Infants,'! as they are called, have their orator, prophet, and poet on this occasion. This gives the members of the 1912 class its first opportunity of meeting the Alumni. A reception committee is chosen by the Board of Directors from each class, and these see that every one is made acquainted before the eve- ning's close. As this is leap year there is likely to be a little novelty in the occasion. Great plans are be- ing formed to make the affair come up to the ones held previously. Ev- ery Alumnus of the school should make it a point to be present at this reunion, whether or not he has ever attended any before. james McCartin, '06, will be the toastmaster, and that means that the guests around the festal board are to enjoy his witticisms and ef- fective repartee in a manner that is unusual. Mr. McCartin is consid- ered one of the most fluent and witty speakers of the younger dis- ciples of Blackstone. Of course, Mr. Charles A. Walsh will be at the banquet and will give the welcome words to the old grads, who look forward to his good advice and kindly welcome that he has the faculty of giving on all occasions. Toasts will be responded to by vari- ous members of the Alumni, and there will be one to The Dangers of Leap Year. Besides the officers and Board of Directors of the Alumni the com- mittee will consist of May Buckley, ,O7, Mrs. Mabel W. McKenna, '06, Mabel Newman, ,OQ, Mary Coyle, iOQ, Norman Byron, JII, john A. Meyers, ,II, Edmund Sheehan, ,OQ, Myra Brown, ,IO, Eugenie M. Kern, ,I2, Rose Coyle, ,I2, Caroline Miller, ,I2, Thomas VVood, yII. Plans are also under way for a Trolley Party, which is to be given under the auspices of the Alumni

IO THE C during the summer months. The students of the school as well as the Alumni have always felt that a re- union during the summer was al- ways enjoyed. This was made pos- sible by the annual moonlight, but it has been decided to discontinue this and in its place this summer Cl Trolley Party is being planned. 'XVhile plans have not materialized as yet, it is expected that this event will be an unusual social one, for all summer reunions of the Alumni, pupils and teachers, have always been attended with great success, both social and hnancial. It is to be hoped that all the Alumni will endeavor to be present at this mid- summer reunion and the Alumni Association guarntees that they will not be sorry. Alfred Sear, iIO, has recently re- -covered from a severe attack of ap- pendicitis and has been enjoying the sunny clime of Kentucky. He has accepted a position there and has been very successful Christopher XY. Phelan, CX-,O7, a former President of the P. E. H. S. A., is now traveling salesman for the Diamond Match Company, Bos- ton, Mass. Mr. Phelan is well re- membered by the older members of the Alumni as one of their most popular classmates. Edmund Brown, QII, was recently made assistant superintendent of the Paragon W'orsted Mills. Edmund Pigeon, '06, represents 'the firm of Spooner Manufacturing Company of this city in all of the New England States. The Alumni wish to extend to Miss Emma Craddock, a member of the Board of Directors of the Alum- ni Association, their deepest sympa- thy on the death of her aunt. Mrs. Boyle was well remembered by a number of the Alumni and they wish to assure Miss Craddock that her loss is shared by each member of the Association. john Nugent, ex-'10, a former President of the P. E. H .S. Associa- OMRADE tion during the years 1910 and 1911, is associated with the N. Y., N. H. K H. R. R., in the offices of the road- master. Mr. Nugent had the un- usual distinction of forming a politi- cal party in the school which was successful at the time of election. He has lways been termed 'fFather of the Radical Party. Edward Roach, '05, is traveling salesman for the Charles Wfarner 8: Company of Boston, Mass. Mr. Roach has been a very successful salesman and we wonder if he ac- quired the art of salesmanship while attending the P. E. H. S., where he used to be known as one of the best ticket sellers. Anyway. we are glad that he has put his knowledge and experience to good and profitable use. Various are the callings and occu- pations of the Alumni of the school, but Patrick Dinagen has the un- usual distinction and honor of being a Deputy Sheriff. Besides this, Mr. Dinagen is remembered as an ex- cellent singer, and is often called up- on to sing in public concerts. john A. Meyers, ,II, is a reporter for the News, and is well on the way of being one of the successful jour- nalists of the coming generation. XValter Lee, '03, a member of the first graduating class in the P. H. S., is doing a large catering busi- ness in this city. The Alumni have had proof of his good work, as he served the last two banquets they have enjoyed. It has just been learned that Vic- tor Sjoberg, '1 1, the member of the Alumni who holds the record of be- ing groom's man at weddings, has been scheduled to do the honors at four more weddings after Easter. Frank Anthony, '11, is in the druggist business with his brother, Jerome Anthony, '09. Members of the Alumni: Don't forget the Alumni reunion in Lily Academy, May 1. -K. E. C.
