VRO BABY CARRIAGE WHEELS RE-TIRED QUICKLY — REASONABLE SILVEY’S TIRE SHOP 80 FRANKLIN STREET AUTO HIT MAN IN WEST, THAMES STREET While going south on West Thames street near Nelson place Monday af- ternoon about 4 o'clock, the automo- Gile driven by Joseph Springar of 225 North Main street struck and knocked down Joseph Pepperel of 51 Lake street. Pepperel suffered two sealp wounds and was taken to the Backus hospital by Dr. Louls T, Cas- sidy. He remained at the hospital ov- ernight for observation and to have an x-ray picture taken today (Tuesday) to determine if there is any fracture of the skull. He is perfectly conscious and the indications are that the scalp wounds are his only injury. It was raining hard at the time of the accident and Pepperel had stepped off the east sidewalk, cjossed the strest and nearly reached the west sidewalk when he was hit. It is be- lieved the rain accounted in part for the man in the street not seeing the auto and the driver not seeing the pe- destrian in time. Springar stopped his car within its own length after the rccident. He reported to Chief George Linton at police heaquarters and was much agitated over the accident.

S E e ACADEMY ALUMNI RECALL EVENTS OF 20 YEARS AGO Happenings of 20 years ago while stu- dents at the Norwich Free Academy, and accounts of activities since 1902 were told Monday night at the reunion of the class of 1302, N. F. A. held at the Wauregan house by 18 members of the class. The meeting was presided over by George E. Lucas of New York, class president, while the position of toastmaster was ably filled by Albert J. Bailey. The class enroll- ment was 38, one of the smallest classes at the Academy in the 1900s. An inter- esting feature of the evening was the reading of the class history, poems and prophecies by Miss Mary Kampf and Miss Ellen Clune. Letters and telegrams from various members of the class un- able to attend the reunlon were read, among them being telegrams from Max Sussman of New York and Louis Kamp? of Tien Tsin, China. Brief talks weres given by President Lucas and Frederick H. Cranston of the Academy faculty. Among those attending from out of town were Mrs. Grace H. Teffeau of Toledo, O., Dr. Louis Alofsin of New York, George B. Lucas of New York and Mr. and Mrs. Willlam W. Bent of Bridgeport. The committee in charge of the reun- ion arrangements comprised Miss Mary Kampf and Mrs. Herbert B. Wightman. Activities at the reunion began at 5.30 o'clock, when the following delightful banquet was served: Fruit Cocktall. Celery. Olives, Golden Boufllon on Tasse. Boston Baked Blue. Potatoes Parisienne.

An interesting and unique feature of the brick walk recently laid at the NI- antic public library is the millstone at Niantic, which is set in the walk next the library steps. This stone,' which was given the library by Mrs. Mary Weaver and Fred Beckwith in memory of thetr father, John T. Beckwith, was brought from an old grist mill in Hebron, 40 or more years ago by Elisha Comstock to be used in a mill he intended buflding opposite his house on the Fast Lyme turnpike, near Darrow's mill. It was taken to Mr. Beckwith's blacksmith shop where it was used for seting tires. The stone is about 15 inches thick, weighing 2,500 pounds and was trans- ported at considerable trouble and ex- pense by F. A. Beckwith from Flanders to the library in Niantic, s N Struek by Automebile. Late Monday afternoon an automobile driven by Arthur S. Blook struck and knocked down Ida Eddins in Thames street. She was picked up and taken to her home at 47 Thames street, where she was attended by Dr. Boris Sohn. He found that she had sustained a deep cut on the head and bruises on the chest. A woman may not know the differ- ence between the constitution and a hank balance, but if she feeds her ‘amily praperly she has little trouble managing ‘their superior minds. TEACHER CHANGES AT AGADEMY The annual meeting of the Norwich Free Academy Alumni Association was held Monday evening at Slater Hall with about 200 of the alymni and grad- uates of the Academy class of 1922 pres- ent. A reception was held from 7.30 o'- clock until 8.30 o'clock during which the Academy orchestra, under the able lead- ership of Director Frederick H. Crans- ton, rendered a delightful musical enter- tainment. The business mesting of the associa- tion was opened at 8.30 o'clock by Pres- ident Edmund W. Perkins, the report of the 1921 meeting being read by Lee Roy Robbine. R. V. Congdon, treasurer, re- ported that with all expenses paid the association now has in the treasury the sum of $557.32. Preparing Memorial Tablet. President Perkins, who is also a mem- ber of the association memorial commit- tee, reported progress during the year. The memorial tablet to those who fought during the World war is to measure 4 by 3 feet and will be placed in the Aca- demy upon completion. The tablet has been sent to the company for casting and the work on the lettering was not suitable- for the tablet and the committes awaited the approval of the association ‘members before giving the casting over to a specialist. It was voted to continue the same committee in office for another year, empowering them to place the cast- ing with a specialist. The tablet will be in place within another year, and when completed will cost approximately | $700. Principal Henry A. Tirrell on behalf of the nominating committee, handed in the following list of officers for the en- suing year: President, Grosvenor Ely; vice president, W. Tyler Olcott; treas- urer, Raymond V. Congdon; secretary, Lee Roy Robbins; assistant secretary, Bruce Rogers. The secretary cast one affirmative ballot for the election of offi- cers as recommended by the committee. President Perkins announced that the classes of 1902, 1912, and 1917 were hold- ing reunions this year and called for re- marks from members of each class. Fred Manning of the class of 1912 reported the activities of the class reunion held Saturday night at the Norwich Golf elub, and spoke of the memorial cup in mem- ory of Robert Ogden Fletcher and Charles Wolcott Willey, two members of the class who gave their lives for their country during the World war. The cup is to be awarded annually to the grad- uate who has done the most for athletics during four years at the Academy. There were none present of the other two classes who accepted the invitation to speak for thelr members. Academy Registration Growing. Principal Henry A. Tirrell was then called upon for remarks and immediately touched on the crowded conditions at the Academy today.- In 1914 the school reg- istration was 556 and grew steadily un- til the years of the war when it fell off. due to enlistments in the service. In 1920-21 the registration grew to 613 and during this last year to 733, a remark- able growth in such a short space of years. This, however, said Mr. Tirrell, is not as strangs as it may seem for only thirty years ago and secondary school population in the country was but 200,- 000 and today it is over 2,000,000, a growth of over 900 per cent, The increase in registration at Academy presents to the directors a problem which must be solved. If the increase continues new building must take place at the Academy to provide for the students. During the coming year the tuition rate for out of town pu- pils will be advanced to $100, a tuition the e o O s S SN, GREENEVILLE DECIDES TO HAVE HORRIBLES PARADE The Greeneville Community 4th of July celebration committee at a recent meet- ing held at the home of O. W. Carpenter, chairman, to make arrangements for the 4th of July celebration this year decided that owing to the industrial condition prevailing at present it would be impos- sible to raise funds—about $2,000—to carry such an elaborate affair as was held in Greeneville last year. The meet- ing, however, decided to hold a band concert and community dance during the evening. Since that meeting the sentiment of residents of Greeneville and of the city of Norwich in general has been pronounced for an old time horrible parade. At a second meeting held Monday night the committee decided to carry out this fea- ture of the horrible parade on July 4th. All costumes to be worn in the parade ars to be made up by those participating in the parade. The women have shown as much enthusiasm as the men for an old time horrible parade and aim to make it bigger and better than the one held last year. The parade is to start at eight o'clock in the morning and if funds raised permit the Eagle drum corps of Moosup comprising 40 men, winners of the state prize last year will be secured to lead the parade. A special committee appointed to take charge of the affair comprises Frederick Geer, William J. McClafferty, Willlam A. Pitcher, Frank J. McLaughlin, and Har- ry B. Stebbins. Subscribtion cards are to be sent out during the week and it is not doubted but that the people of Greeneville will contribute llberally to make the celebra- tion a success. It has also been decided to award a prize to the person In the pa- rade wearing the most horrible costumes. TWO LOCAL GRADUATES ) AT BOSTON UNIVERSITY Two students from Norwich, (Connec- ticut) and vicinlty, were honored by de- grees at the annual Commencement of Boston University, which was held in Symphony hall Monday morning. The degree of bachelor of laws was conferred pon Frank Covello of Norwich and Har- ry S. Gaucher of Baltic. Over 650 degrees were conferred by President L. H. Murlin upon the largest graduating class in the history of the University. This in an increase of 300 over the 450 sgraduates last June. This large number was due to the fact that Boston University now has over 9.800 students enrolled, exclusive of extra-mu- ral courses. CONTRACT AWARDED FOR THAMES ST. SCHOOL HEATERS Bids for two new Richmond heaters at the Thamesville school were opened Monday by the members of the town achool committee and the contract was awarded to Thomas F. Burns of this city at his low bid of $970. This work is to be done during the summer so that the heaters will be ready to use in the fall. The following were the bids: J. A. Fitzgerald, $1,700; Williams Bros, $1.385; J. F. Tompkins, $1,250; J. P. Barstow Co. $1,220; Thomas Burps, $370. ‘ LIEUT. PECKHAM I8 TO REPORT AT WASHINGTON Lieut. Howard L. Peckham has been relieved from duty at the University of Kansas at Lawrence, as assistant pro- fessor of military solence and tactics and has received notice to report for duty at the chief engineers' office at Washing- ton, D. C., about June 30th. Lieut. Peckham is the son of Mr. Peckham of ¥ and rate about the same as charged by other secondary schools in this section. New sohools are being bulit around Norwich and it seems plausible to figure that these additional high schools will take a part of the students away from the Academy and thus prevent an over- crowded condition in the too mear fu- ture. During the past year, sald Mr. Tirrell, we have lost Francis J. Leavens in death, Mr. Leavens for thirty years had taken active interest in Academy af- fairs, for 20 years he served as a trus- tée, was treasurer of the board for nine years and president for eight years. He has been greatly missed. In George S. Palmer as the new member of the board the Academy has secured a man inter- ested in the school and its development. Faculty Changes. There are many faculty changes this year in which the school loses some of its long service teachers. Miss Helen Marshal, librarian, and in charge of the museum, has retired. Everyone who has been at the Academy knows her worth and the Academy is fortunate in secur- ing her-advice in the future, although losing her as an active librarian. Her place will be taken by Miss Dorothy Gregson who is well suited for the work. In Peck Library the Academy has a li- brary the greatest in the world owned by any secondary school. Miss Catherine Crocker, for nine years a member of the faculty as French in- structor, leaves this summer and will re- main in France for & year. Another loss to the faculty is in Miss Edna Currler, teacher for three years. New teachers secured for places left vacant are Miss Smith, Miss Edith Crosby and Miss Ly- dia Bixby. Miss Sarah Leavens contin- ues on her leave of absence her.place to be filled by Miss Flora Davidson. As a teacher of English and history Miss El- len Greeley has been secured. Another great loss to the school comes in the res- ignation of Raymond V. Congdon, who in his years as a member of the faculty has taken great interest in all school activities, coached the boys for prize speaking, trained the cheer leaders, and inspired the athletes of the Academy with a determination to win. Mr. Cong- don’s place will be filled by Miss Helen Newton in mathematics. John H. Wil- liams, Jr., has been secured as director of physical training at the Academy to begin next fall under the new state rul- ing. Following the announcements by Mr. Tirrell, President Perkins called upon Raymond Reed, president of the class of 1922, for a few remarks, to which Mr, Reed responded for his classmates tell- ing of their ambition to become worthy members of the alumni association. ‘While preparations were being made for the showing of the motion pictures of life at Yale university the Academy Girls Glee club entertained with several delightful numbers. The picture of Yale filled with college “pep” and activ- itles of the university known as “The Mother of Men” was shown and the meeting adjourned to the school gymna- sium where dancing was enjoyed to about midnight. The alumni members and graduates were received by the following commit- tees upon arrival at the hall: Committee to recelve the ladies, Mrs. Willis Austin, chairman, Mrs. Lucius Briggs, Miss Dor- othy.
