Cassie MacDonald's Class Picture Given to Tribune The Tribune is in receipt of a letter from Mr. Earl H. Lee, Everett, Wash., former resident of this city, who attended school here when Miss Cassie MacDonald was the teacher. Mr. Lee enclosed a picture of the class of 1897, which the Tribune will publish in an early issue. Many of the readers will be interested in the class of 1897. Mr. Lee said in part, "I have enjoyed immensely reading every copy of the Altoona Tribune as it comes to me. The 'Past Events' column by Ed Semisch and the 'Locals' are particularly interesting and it is like renewing old friendships and meeting some new ones." +++++++++++++ It's always nice to hear when people like reading what you are writing.
