A notable feature of the toast” list will be ••Auld Lang Syne responded to by Judge Frank T. Wilson, of Stillwater, Minn., a member of the class of* *75.The reunions or the Corry alumni are rather exceptional In the history of high schools, fro other town with which we are familiar has kept up these annual gatherings as Corry has. The association was organized if we remember correctly. In 1875 and has held annual reunions over Blnce. The number of graduates reached 54 2 last year. The attendance is always large, averaging In recent years about 150 members, and the time has now arrived when the children of the older graduates meet with them In these yearly festivities. For one evening in the year, at least, the worry of dally cares are laid aside and gray heads forget their troubles while they recall old memories and try to impress frivolous youth with the superior intellects which the high school turned out in the early days.It is of interest to note that the eight members of the reception committee named on this year’s program are all parents of graduates, either In the class of 11)10 or recent classes.Let us.hope that the cohesive forces of common aims, experiences and ambitions, which bind the local high school graduates together may never lose their effectiveness and as the years come and go the bond may grow stronger, nml Interest in the alumni association increase rather than diminish.E
