About Mrs. Burnham.
Couch School, founded In 1S82. was the
scene of an alumni reunion on Thurs
day, and when the people arrived they
surprised W. T. Fletcher, the principal
and the teachers and each other.
There were several persons who have
claim to a peculiar regard in the mem
ories and affections of the alumni. They
were former teachers, some of them
for many years. There were also other
notables. Edward D. Harold, father of
eight children who had graduated from
Couch School, was present.
The old weather-beaten school build
ing looked just the same as in the days
when they were all kids, the older folk
agreed.
KvrrytbiDS la mm It Was.
To those of the younger alumni, who
proudly wrote '14 and '15 after their
names on the big register, everything
was just as they had left it. So they
all had their picture taken in front of
the school. - t
It might be said the reception cen
tered around Mrs.' Jennie. Burnham,
widow of a beloved principal. She has
been teaching in the school since 1884.
Airs. Burnham really could say she re
membered everyone; certainly they all
remembered her.
Several members of the first grad
uating class from Couch, that of '86,
were present: and the sweet girl grad
uates of '86 are the matronly mistresses
of families and households now. It was
a matter of comment how the mem
bers of the various classes, but espe
cially the older ones, sought out each
other and stayed together. They were
still together in little groups when
they signed the register.
ir.6 Sign Register.
To be sure, all the alumni did not
sign the register. That took place after
the reception. It was too much like
having to "stay after chool." so about
40. more or less, wandered off with
out inscribing tlieir names. There
were 136, however, who did sign
alumni, former teachers and principals.
What surprised some of those who
had made the arrangements for the re
union was the conduct of the men who
attended. If they had dropped in. paid
their respects all around, and then dis
appeared, it would not have been a
great surprise; but they didn't act that
way at all.
(iroirn-lps Play frank a.
Grown-up graduates who have chil
dren of their own in Couch School sat
on tbs little seats and reminisced and
indulged in all manner of burlesque
schoolboy pranks. It proved a source
of great amusement to the younget
graduate and to the teachers, and
they kept it up until it was time to
go home. The young men who have
made names for themselves in athletics,
in the world of business or in the pro
fessions enjoyed themselves hugely.
Each received a splinter of a banister,
down which they used to indulge in
forbidden elides. The souvenirs had
little hooks in them to hang them
up by.
Mrs. Emn.a W. McKenzie-Pollock.
who taught the ninth grade from 'S6
to '01. attended the reunion. Next to
Mrs. Burnham she probably best re
membered most of the old-time pupils.
Graduate of H7 I'rexent.
Mrs. Emily Strahan Daniels, a mem
ber of the first graduating class in
'87, was a member of the receiving
committee.
Hopkin Jenkins, now principal of
the Jefferson High School, wa.s there
to look up his old associates of the
class of '91. regular old-timers, all of
them. Minnie Osmund Harris regis
tered with the class of '88. Then came
Dr. Earl Smith of '98. . A little way
farther down came Jessie B. Oliver of
'08: three decades represented there,
and all chumming at the alumni meet
ing. The reception began at 2 o'clock and
lasted two hours. There were little
school girls present to pin roses on
the alumni, and they sang "Auld. Lang
Syne" as a happy finishing touch to
the yeunion.

Six graduates of Immaculata Academy, 295 Stanton street, will receive
their diplomas tomorrow night at commencement exercises at Columbia Hall,
Morris and Stanton streets. Archbiship Christie will present the certificates.
The six young women constitute the first class to go from the academy
which recently was standardized by the state. They began their education in
the grammar department of the academy 12 years ago as pupils in the kinder
garten branches. The academy was inaugurated four years ago.
Rev. Father W. A. Daly preached the baccalaureate sermon last Sunday at
Immaculate Heart of Mary Church, and based his theme on the objects of
education, one of the most important of which, he maintained, was to pre
pare women to build up and conduct a refined and well-ordered home.
The members of the graduating class are: Misses Irene Margaret Mary
Kirby, Frances Agnes Wolf, Teresa Marie Stopper. Teresa Rose Manning,
Teresa Martin and. Lena Mary Shannon. - .

TREASURER ADAMS .
TO BE SUPERSEDED
''Because He Was Candidate"
Is Bigelow's Only Apparent
Reason for Dismissal.

Majxr Sees No Cause for Letting Out

City Treasurer Adams' official head
Is to be lopped off, according to in
formation at the City Hall.
Commissioner Bigelow. against whom
Mr. Adams was a candidate in the re
cent city election, is said to have
secured promise of a sufficient number
of votes in the Council to make pos
sible the removal of Mr. Adams, and
the appointment to his position of an
other man of Mr. Bigelow's selection.
just wno the new man will be is un
certain, but the name of J. O. Wilson,
a fellow lodge member and an ardent
supporter of Mr. Bigelow in the recent
campaign, is mentioned as a proba
bility. Although having made no public an
nouncement of his intention to pro
ceed against Mr. Adams, Mr. Bigelow
is claiming the support of every mem
ber of the Council except Mayor Albee.
The Mayor is said to be bitterly op
posed to the removal plan. Mr. Bigelow
is said to have the support of Com
missioners Daly, Brewster and Dieck,
which is more than enough to put 'over
the dismissal and the new appoint
ment. Matter of Charges Is Hitch.
The principal hitch in the proceed
ing as they stand now is said to be
the matter of charges against Mr.
Adams. The city charter, pro vides that
the order of dismissal which has to be
sent to the City Council must contain
a statement of the charges against the
official. The official has time in which
to file ah answer to the charges.
The apparent reason for Mr. Bige
low's seeking the dismissal of Mr.
Adams is that Mr. Adams was a can
didate and came within 652 votes of
winning over Mr. Bigelow. Charges of
this type would not be advisable, so
an effort is being made to devise other
charges, it is said.
Mr. Adams has been City Treasurer
since 1911. having been elected then by
a large vote under the old Council
manic charter, which provided for the
eloction of City Treasurer, instead of
making that of fie appointive, as at
present. ' He received the nomination
for re-election in 1913, at which time
the commission charter was adopted by
the voters and the position was made
appointive instead of elective.
!o Complaint Ever Heard.
At that time Mr. Adams was reap
pointed by the City Council and has
served since. There never has been a
complaint against him in any form,
either regarding himself personally or
his method of handling the Treasurer's
office.
"Commissioner Bigelow became peeved
decidedly at Mr. Adams' entering the
Commissionership race. His rage was
increased by Mr. Adams' coming within
a few votes of winning it. It is said that
the. day after the election Mr. Bigelow
started out to get necessary votes to
remove Mr. Adams. He makes claim
dow to all votes but that of Mayor
Albee.
It is said the move wiK be made
against Mr. Adams before Commission
er Brewster leaves office on July 1.
Mr. Brewster is said to favor the re
moval and will vote for it. This will
enable Bigelow to win his point, even
if one of the other two Commission
ers (Daly and Dieck) )backs out. Commissioner-elect
Eaker is said to be op
posed to the removal of Mr. Adams.
Mavnr Albee refused to discuss the
question yesterday except to say that
he can see no reason for the removal
of Mr. Adams. He said he does not
consider Mr. Adams' recent candidacy
to be sufficient ground- lor aismissau
J O. Wilson, whose name is men
