A great throng of people coming from far and near enjoyed Memorial Day at Hershey Park. In an endless procession, seemingly, throughout the day came this caravan of good people, seeking here amid an environment than can hardly be equaled, relief from the prosaic round of life. Hershey Park was a Mecca to these thousands. Here they could forget daily strife and care and in wholesome amuse-ments and proper atmosphere, were they rejuvenated, made happy, re-encouraged and re-inspired. And Hershey Park exceeded its reputa-tion from every viewpoint. Everything was better, cleaner and prettier than ever. The newly arranged flower beds held the attention of many thousand interested visitors who were effuse in their admiration for the beauty and glory they here beheld. The mammoth dance floor was crowded afternoon and evening. Here was found a happy, laughing throng, each . person bubbling over with the spirit of the occasion and exuberant in the merry abandonment of youth. No cares or sorrows, no responsibilities or business worries, were known here. The music by the Ban jo-Saxo "orchestra filled everyone with an overwhelming desire to dance and they blithesomely tripped the "light fantastic," whether it was fox-trot, one-step or waltz. The baseball game was well patronized . Here the Lebanon Steel team and Hershey battled through nine innings of first class ball while the cheers of the crowds echoed and re-echoed across the hills. The theatre was crowded afternoon and even-ing, where one of the best movie show of the season was shown. Thj swimming pool was generously patronized by aquatic enthusiasts during the afternoon. On this beautifully warm day the large pool of water, clear as crystal and exceedingly refreshing, was enticingly inviting and many fell victims thereto. Canoeing, boating, the miniature rail-way, bowling alleys, skee ball, and other amusements, vied with each other for the patronage of the crowds. Every where one went was found a large crowd indulg-ing their whims and desires according to their own peculiar fancy. Every where one went could be se* • sparkling eyes, laughing lips, contented minds and happy hearts and the welkin fairl y rang with the mingled laughter , the glad shouts and happy voices of the throng. The concerts by the Perseverance Band, of Lebanon, were heard and enjoyed by many. Two concerts were given during the day. The selections used were care-fully chosen and were appreciated by the vast audiences which assembled at the large band shell. Hershey Park is surely more popular than ever and the indications are that it will continue to expand in the good favor of its extensive patronage. By proper management it has gained this patronage and by the same means will hold it. There is always a hearty welcome awaiting you at Hershey Park. Come whenever you find it possible to do so and enjoy life , minus cares and responsibilities. Here will you find each minute detail blending into the scheme of creating harmony, contentment , beauty and purity in en-vironment. No task is left undone to accomplish this purpose. You 'll enjoy Hershey Park a little bit better with each succeeding visit. Hershey Park warmly invites you. Memorial Day at Hershey Park Was Greatly Enjoyed RED CROSS MEETING Hershey Chapter , American Red Cross, will meet on Monday afternoon , June 6, at 2:30 o'clock in the Well Baby Clinic Room.

Commencement exercises, of Derry Township High School, closing the 1921 term, were held on Thursday evening, May 26, in the Park theatre. It marked the successful completion of another chapter in the annals of the local high school. It signified the rapid educational strides which are obtained in this district and forcefully served to prove the practical logic of a consolidated school district in which the small old fashioned country schools are merged into one large unit. We cannot believe that this splendid class of 1921, composed of ten girls and nine boys, would have advanced so far in their yearning for education were it not for the exceptional advantages embodied in this consolidated school idea. In any other community, in the entire United States, whose population equals or doubles that of our own progressive community and under any other school system, they could hardly have enjoyed the same ad-vantages which they here enjoyed. The educational advantages which are here offered to the boys and girls of this district are indeed exceptional and every parent should recognize this fact by lending a fuller cooperation , a truer sympathy, in the work of the directors and teachers who are directing educational affairs here. Every boy and girl should be afforded the opportunity of continuing in school until the course is successfully completed. Parents owe this to their children and in view of the extraordinary advantages here offered, should . be exceptionally careful to permit the boys and girls to finish the course. The roll -of-4his_year_'s..grad 11 at ing class is as follows: William Luther Belser, Lester Graby Brandt, Samuel Edward Dissinger, Mary Bomberger Eby, Esther Basehore Espenshade, Laura Fay Frehn, Charlotte Ruth Freysinger, Landis Clinton Garman, Sara Alwine Garver, Harry Ricker Wolfersberger, Paul Samuel Ging-rich, Maude Mae Gordon, Carrie June Keller, Walter Eby Hershey, Edith Susan McCaiferty, Romeo Rocco Sevastio, Paul Herbert Seitzinger, Elinor Elizabeth Swartz, Florence Irene Walmer. Its officers are : Harry Wolfersberger , President: Landis Garman, Vice President; Secretary, Mary Eby ; Treasurer , Florence Walmer. Its motto : "Not at the Top, but climbing." Its colors are Black and Gold. The faculty who directed the educa-tional affair of this class during the Senior year included : Lillian M. Rowe, A.B., Mathematics and Latin; Miriam S. Barto, A.B., English and Spanish; Frances A. McFarland , A.B., Social Sciences; Harry K. Bomberger, B.S., Sciences; Edgar F. Schlichter, Commercial; Ralph W.

MORRETT BURIED SATUR-DAY Manager Heilman is pleased to an-nounce that the Luttringer Stock Co.f is coming to Hershey for an extended en-gagement commencing Monday, June 20. This organization has the splendid record of having played an entire year in New Bedford , Mass.,' forty weeks in Lewistown, Me., twenty-five weeks in Augusta, Me., and forty weeks in Quincy, Mass. Mr. Al. Luttringer, who incidentally is the star and director, as well as the owner of the company, is rated as one of the most astute show men in the entire profession. The staging that Mr. Luttringer gives to his productions is worthy of Broadway in all instances. To him belongs the faculty of knowing what will best meet with the approval of the people, no matter where located and accordingly gives to them the shows they will like best. An outstanding feature of the Lutt-ringer Company is that its repertoire is at all times free from the objectionable and the offensive and that it caters to nothing that smacks of the suggestive. On the other hand there is a wholesome, happy spirit about all of his pieces that can in itself account for the phenominal popularity and success he has enjoyed in other cities. Miss Ann Kingsley will be the leading lady. A number of New York successes, which will afford a splendid opportunity to Miss Kingsley to display her versa-tility, will be produced. The Boston Post, New England's leading daily, gave to Miss Kingsley an unsolicited two column writeup, highly commending her work and classing her as the most popular New England Leading Woman. An excellent supporting Company, the same that supported Mr. Luttringer during his triumphant tour of the New England states, will be brought to Her-shey. Two car loads of scenery has also arrived, which will afford to patrons of the Park Theatre, the best scenic pro-ductions they have ever witnessed. The Luttringer Company, throughout the New England States, is noted par-ticularly for its refinemen t as regards players and plays. This company stands squarely for the idea that the stage should elevate and they work with Mr. Luttringer harmoniously to that end. Patrons here may be assured that every play produced will be clean, moral and wholesome. Watch for forthcoming announcements as the opening date draws near.
