THE CRIMSON COAT
Colonial Play Presontod by Class
of 1913,
Rocoptions and Other Ante-Vaca
tion School Evonts.
?
The commencement exorcises of the
class of 1913 for tho evening of June
2 wns a play of four acts, "Tho Crim
son Coat." The time of tho play was
early in tho seventeenth century and
centered about Miles Standish and
the Puritan colonists.
The story in brief follows: ,
Act I Garret Foster, of Weston's
men, has stolen corn from the Ply
mouth colony. John Margeson sees
him and chases him, but through the
ingenuity of Rose, who shields Garret,
is sent on tho wrong track. Despite
all Rose's efforts to keep Garret con
cealed, tho captain discovers him.
Through the intercession of Rose and
Barbara, the captain pardons Garret
and allows him to stay in Plymouth.
ACT II During Gariet's stay in
Plymouth he has fallen in love with
Rose. John M. also loves Rose, but is
loved by Miriam, for whom ho does
not care. Philippe, Rose's brother,
however, does love Miriam, and seeks
Garret's advice as to how to woo her.
While Gariet is jesting to Philippe
about the ways and arts of wooing a
maid, he is overheard by Rose, who
takes what he has said in earnest.
Later, she ignores Garret and favors
John. Garret becomes jealous and
soon finds a pretext to begin a duel
with John. Rose promises to pay the
better man. Garret wins, but since
ho staited the duel, the captain sen
tences him to banishment from the
colony, to the joy of Margeson.
Act III The Plymouth and Messa
gusset men together make an expe
dition against the Indians. After ii
is over Garret sends a letter to Rost,
through her biother Philippe. In K
he tells her of his intention to go back
to England and wishes her well in her
betrothal to John Margeson. Rose is
not betrothed to John, but when she
finds that Garret has so misjudged
her as to think she would do such a
thing, to spite Garret she accepts
John's offer of mairiage. In the mean
time Philippe has wootd and won
Miriam. Soon after her acceptance
of John, Garret breaks the edict of
banishment and finds his way to Ply
mouth, getting theie just in time to
warn the captain that the Indians are
on tho warpath. John has the edict
of the governor for the arrest of Gar
ret for breaking the banishment, but
again, through the ingenuity of Rose,
the captain allows Garret, who is ex
hausted by his long tramp, to remain
as a praloed prisoner.
Act IV Garret has been given
some old clothes from the common
house, among which is the "crimson
coat" of John Margeson. During the
fight with tho Indians, Garret wears
this coat and saves the settlement,
but all think it John. John and Gar
ret agree to keep it secret that Garret
really wore it. But Rose traps Garret
into admitting he was at the fight,
and John thinks Garret has told, and
thus ho himself admits he has spoken
falsely. Roso then is free to break
her betrothal to John and pay the bet
ter man.
Tho part of Miles Standish was
taken by Ward Hanson, who looked
and acted the part of a real captain.
His wife, Barbara Dorcas Wetzel
proved herself a genuine Puritan
matron in dress, in demeanor, and in
lltsum

THOUGHTS ABOUT NEIGHBORHOOD IMPROVEMENT.
Flowers Are a Good Investment.
In this age when so much beauty
is sacrificed for industry, when so
much of the work of nature is scarrea
by the work of men, it is always
pleasing to see beauty triumph over
barrenness, to hear of the victory of
floweis over stones, and swamps, ana
cinders and sand.
It arouses another kind of interest,
however, when dollars and cents and
increased property values are woven
into the story.
It is as much the appeal of the dol
lar as the love of the home which
should prompt neighborhood improve
ment meetings in ferrysburg.
A Beautiful Perrysburg Will Make a
Greater Perrysburg.
Nothing will make so much for a
greater Perrysburg, a better or more
speech. Beatrice Van Norman as the
French lassie, Rose, was easily the
leading personage, and won for herself
many congratulations. Miriam, a
cousin of Capt. Standish, was played
by Florence Heckler in a charming
way. Alta Marshall as Aunt Resolute,
was a quaint old Puritan maid, who
had a real interest in the courtships of
the young folks. The parts of Garrett
Foster by Harold Webb, John Mar
geson by John Christman, Phillipe de
la Noye, the brother of Rose, by Earl
Harbaucr. These young men played
the parts of soldiers and lovers, and
there being but two marriageable
young ladies, it gave each of them a
fine chance of showing his skill both
as a fighter and a love maker. Not
one of them was a Maude Russell or a
Mantell, but the play showed that each
had great possibilities in the acting
line.

DEATH AT STONY RIDGE,
Mary Emma, daughter of Joseph
and Eliza Wagoner, was born Novem
ber 2, 1854, in Lake township, Wood
county, O. When a child the Civil War
bereft her of her father, who died at
Huntsville, Alabama. Deceased lived
on the homestead with her mother and
brothers until she was united in mar
riage with James McCutchen Decem
ber 7, 1875.
In a short time after her marriage
her husband built a residence in the
village of Stony Ridge, which they oc
cupied until the fall of 1902, when
they moved to the farm, where she
died. May 1, 1881, death called her
mother away. January 8, 1912, her
husband died. Monday night, May 26,
1913, between 11 and 12 o'clock she
suffered a fall down stairs, sustaining
severe injuries, and although every
effort was "made to relieve her suffer
ing and spare her life, providence de
creed otherwise, and she departed this
life at 4:20 o'clock the next morning,
at the age of 58 years C months and 25
days.
She leaves to mourn her departure
one daughter, Laura, wife of Albert
Bihn; one son, Wilbur, residing at
home; four brothers, namely, S. E.
W. W. and Henry H. Wagoner, of
Stony Ridge, G. W. Wagoner of East
Toledo.
She was well known and highly re
spected and a faithful member of the
M. E. church. A kind neighbor, ever
eady with her services in time of need.
Wo trust she now enjoys perpetual
joy with her Savior.
The funera services were held at the
M. E. church at Stony Ridge Friday,
May 30th, conducted by Rev. G. M.
McNeely, assisted by Rev. C. W. Gang
hill. Burial at Luckey.
Edson Roy Wagoner, oldest son of
William W. and Martha J. Wagoner,
pascd away at his father's residence
one and one-half miles west of Stony
Ridge, Saturday evening at ten
minutes past eight o'clock, May 81st.
He was born at the old homestead
December 5th, 1882, and died at the
same placo at tho age of 30 years 5
months and 26 days.
He united with the M. E. church at
an early ago and has been a faithful
member ever since. Ho leaves to
mourn his departuro his father and
step-mother, threo sisters: Jennie,
wifo of William Hazel of Garnott,
Louisiana; Mabel, wifo of Bert Wolf
of Limo City, and Lola at homo; one
brother, Claronco, residing near Stony
Ridge, two half-brothers, Lestor and
Lewis, at home. Also a host of rcla-
ren and coarse when standing beside 1
a beautiful flower.
Yet with all the advantages of
flowers and vines over artificial dec
oiations the cost is next to nothing.
Men Should Lend Encouragement.
Because landscape gardening and
neighborhood improvement have such
a strong commercial value, they
should be encouraged by the men in
every section of the town.
Because home adornment and cul
tivation of the beautiful is women's
natural sphere, landscape gardening
should be carried out by the women
of the town.
Landscape Gardening Is Women's
Work.
Landscape gardening, or home dec
oration, is woman's work. It is the
tives and fiiends to mourn his early
departuie.
His mother preceeded him on July
21st, 1892.
He had been ailing for the past ten
years with a complication if diseases
which culminated in leakage of the
heart.

M. E. church at Stony Ridge Tuesday,
June 3, 1913, conducted by Rev. G. M.
McNeely, and the body laid to rest in

PASSING OF MRS. CHAMPNEY.
On Friday, May 30, 1913, Mrs. A. R.
Champney passed away at her home
in Perrysburg, aged 74 years 8 months
and 18 days.
Mrs. Champney was born in New
Haven, Ohio, June 12, 1838, and was
united in marriage with Capt. A. R.
Champney, March 25, 1907, who pre
ceded her several years.
They came to Perrysburg in 1862,
when Mr. Champney engaged in the
drug business.
During her early life Mrs. Champ
ney was a member of the Episcopal
church, but after coming to Perrys
burg she united with the Presbyterian
church. Her entire life was that of a
conscientious and devout Christian.
Mrs. Champney was the mother of
four sons, one of whom died in infancy,
and William R., the eldest, who died
November 21st, 1907. The two sur
viving sons are Dr. Fred J. and
Charles P. Champney, both residents
of Perrysburg.
She is survived by three sisters,
Mrs. Ferrenberg of Fremont, who was
with her during the last few weeks of
her life; Mrs. Bennett of Toledo, and
Mrs. Campbell of Fremont.
For a year Mrs. Champney has been
in failing health, although the end
came rather unexpectedly.
She was a splendid neighbor, a de
voted mother and a true Christian,
and her death will be regretted by
many friends.

CITY
JUNIOR-SENIOR BANQUET.
Tho nnnual banquet of tho Juniors
for tho graduating class was given on
tho evening of Juno 29. The school
halls had been selected as tho place
and had been made attractive with
tho colors of tho Graduating oWirs.
The guests of honor, soon after their
arrival, were put through a series of
"tests" which tho Juniors considered
very necessary before 1913-ers could
graduate. Tho young ladies had to
show their skill with needle and
threa, the boys theirs by finding with
their teeth the hole in tho susponded
doughnuts. Each was required to
show his Danvinian ancestry by
speaking or singing in tho original;
some startling revelations woro mado
but their evolution has mado wonder
ful progress, as was proven when tho
class was seated for refreshments.
Their eating and drinking was fully
up-to-date and clearly proved the daw
of tho survival of the fittest. The
Juniors decided that thu seven senses
of the Seniors were sufficiently train
ed so that they would "pass them'
and allow their colors to fly from the
top of tho belfry. When the tall
Junior was asked what the seven
senses of the Seniors were which were
tested at the banqueting occasion, ho
quickly replied: "The touch sense, tho
taste sense, the odor sense, the non
sense and tho common sense." They
passed in each test and were pio-
moteu.
RECEPTIN TO SENIORS.
One of the first events of this year's
Commencement season was the Sophomore-Senior
recCDtion. This kwii
on Tuesday evening, May 27, at tho
nome ot Uharles Maddy, Jr., a mem
ber of the Sophomore class. Ninr nm
artistic hand-written invitations an
nounced to the special guests the '
Seniors, the High-school teachers and
the members of the board that the
Sophomores would show their talents
as entertainers. The well-appointed
home had been put in gala attire by
the skillful hands and wise heads of
the Sophomores, assisted by some
thoughtful mothers. Tho turquoise
and gold of 1913 was draped, laticed
and twined in rich profusion until thJ
rooms looked inviting resting places
for the weary Seniors.
In one room the flowing punch bowl
was a great attraction, in another was
a secret coolingcorner, which in the
l'ato evening furnished frozen refresh
ments to the guests, buc not to search
ing Juniors. At one time, under Soph
omore guidance, the Seniors were
placed in strange matrimonial and
flowered mazes, and those who were
successful in finding the proper way
out were fed with selected sophomore
sweetness.
Was anything lacking to make the
event a success ? Nor music, nor flow
ers, nor "eats," nor sweets, nor
guests,, nor Sophs, nor good mothers
and not even a trapped Junior all
were there and enjoyment shone in
every face except the hungry Junior
until the midnight hour, when
adieus wore said.
EIGHTH GRADE.
The pupils of the eighth grade had '
their commencement May 23, but theii
final exams did not come until thu
week following the public exercises,
and hence the results of the year's
work were not known in a few cases
until all papers were examined by the
teacher.
The following is the list of those
who have received cards for tho
Freshman class next Septembers
Kenneth Veitch, Charles Dibling,
Madeline Manley, Zclma Brittain, Ha
zel Braun Earl opp, Richard Muir,

gor. These twenty-one, with others
from the township and such as lack
more than one full unit of completing
the Freshman work of this year, will
bo the ninth-year students of tho next
school year.
