EXCERPTS FROM "THE CLERMONT SUN" September 11, 1907 WHAT THEY SAY About the Reunion of Parker Students. Many Are Coming, While Others Send Regrets - A Very Large Attennance [sic] of Former Students Assured. Thursday, October 3rd, will be a most important and interesting day to the students and friends of PARKER'S ACADEMY. It has been thought appropriate during Clermont's Homing [sic] Coming week to hold a reunion of the academy pupils, and invitations have been sent to all whose postoffice [sic] address could be secured. Many have responded and given assurance that they will be present, the most noted of whom is Gen. Henry C. CORBIN, whose name appears on the program for an address. The citizens of New Richmond [where the reunion will occur] have taken the matter in hand and are exerting themselves to the utmost to make the event a success. If the day is pleasant the exercises will take place in the park, if inclement they will be held in the hall. Free transportation will be furnished to all friends who may desire to visit the old Academy by the business men of New Richmond. Many who attend the GRANT memorial celebration on Wednesday, October 2nd, will remain over until Thursday and enjoy the reunion of old students and thus honor the memory of their beloved teacher.
