FIELD OF
Farewell Reception Given Mr.
W. W. Brundage.
A VERY POPULAR DIRECTOR
A farewell reception was tendered on Tuesday evening by the
Baptist Young People's Union to
Mr. W. W. Brundage, physical director at the Y. M* C. A. The
reception was held in the parlors
. of "the church and a large number
were present.
The toastmaster of the evening
was Mr. H. L. Ghapman, president
of the Society, of which Mr. Brundage is a member. A literary and
musical program was ca'rried out,
which was entertaining to .the
audience. The first number was
an instrumental selection by Mr.
Harry Pickles, which was followed
by a tenor solo by Mr. Glarence
Levering, of the St. Stephen's
choir. He responded to an encore.
Both numbers were well suited to
the occasion. Mrs. H. G. Bartholomew recited very effectively
"A Mormon Story," which provoked
considerable laughter and applause.
Mr. Browne Sharpe recited "Bill
Mason's Ride," and followed it with
"The Raggedy Man," which amused the children very much. Miss
Margaret Hatch gave a pleasing
dialect selection, followed by a
selection on the piano, which closed
the program. Refreshments were
then served by the young ladies of
the Society, to which ample justice
was done.
Rev. H. B. Rankin then arose
and in his' genial and kindly manner
expressed the sorrow felt by all at
the departure of Mr. Brundage,
spoke of the work done by him in
the Association and the church,
and bade him Godspeed in his new
field of work and in the new relations in which he is about to enter.
In behalf of the Young People's

MR. W. W. BRUNDAGE.
Union, the speaker presented him
with a lovely set of solid silver
teaspoons and a solid silver berry
spoon. Although taken by surprise, Mr. Brundage showed his
appreciation of the gift in a few
well-chosen words. The Gompany
then joined hands and sang "God
Be With You 'Till We Meet Again."
Mr. Brundage left on Thursday
morning for his home in Lockport,
N. Y. On next Wednesday evening he will be married to Miss
Florence Randolph Watters, daughter of Mr. and Mrs.-W. P. Watters,
of that place. The wedding will
take place at the home of the bride's
parents and will be solemnized by
Rev. W. G. Gates, pastor of the
First Baptist Ghurch of Lockport,
in the presence of the relatives and
immediate friends of the contracting parties. Mr. and Mrs. Brundage will leave for a trip through
Canada, after which they will
reside in Kingstort-on-the-Hudson,
Mr. Brundage having accepted the
position of physical director in the
Y. M. G. A. at that place,
In leaving Sewickley Mr. Brun
dage takes with him the best wishes
of a host of friends he has made
here, especially among the young
men. His genial manner, obliging
disposition and thorough knowledge
of the technique of his profession,
endeared him to those with whom
he came daily in contact; and his
willingness to assist in the work of
the Ghurch of which he was a
member made his services especially valuable. One and all wish
him all possible success in his new
field of endeavor.
Library Opened.
The Sewickley Public Library has
been reopened, Miss Grosby and
Miss Patterson having returned
from their vacation. The arch between the library and reading room
has been completed and is a fine
piece of work and the area thus
provided will be a convenience to
the patrons.

we will have-the pleasure of again
publishing the "High School
Oracle"- each week as a department of The Herald.
