Session of 1913-14 Inaugurated Un-der Promising Auspices-LargeEnrollment of Pupils in AllGrades-Well-Selected Facult .

Under the most promising auspices,the Donaldsonville High School open-ed last Monday morning with a largeattendance of pupils, inauguratingwhat is expected to be one of themost fruitful sessions in the historyof the institution. While the enroll-ment for the first week was notgreater than has been recorded dur-ing the same period of former ses-sions, this was doubtless due in largemeasure to the extremely inclementweather which prevailed up to Thurs-day, and a substantial increase inthe attendance is anticipated as soonas the climatic conditions becomemore favorable.

There were no formal exercises tomark the beginning of the year'swork, and after organizing the dif-ferent classes and assigning them totheir respective rooms the pupilswere dismissed for the day, theregular routine of the school. beinginstituted the following day.

The personnel of the well-selectedand thoroughly trained faculty is asfollows:

R. S. Vickers, principal, tenth andeleventh grades.

M. J. Durand, vice principal, tenthand eleventh grades.

Miss Effie Eisler, ninth grade.Miss Elizabeth Bott, eighth grade.Miss Clara Stuart, seventh grade.Miss Virginia Garrot, sixth grade.Miss Ruby McCall, fifth grade.Miss Margaret Lyons, fourth grade.Miss Freda Singer, third grade.Miss Jeanne Landry, second grade.Miss Dora Kaffie, upper first grade.Miss Annie Laurie Pujos, lower

first grade.Monday marked the beginning of

the scholastic year by all the publicschools of the parish, and reportsreceived by Supt. J. L. Rusca areto the effect that the session wasinaugurated under the most auspiciouscircumstances at each of the insti-tutions, the enrollment being un-usually large. From every stand-point the current year gives promiseof greater things than the education-al system of Ascension has everknown in the past.

Death of Miss Josephine Goette.It is with sadness and regret that

we chronicle the death of MissJosephine Goette, daughter of thelate Sidonius Goette and MadelineYaeger, who passed away at theGoette home in Railroad avenue at4 o'clock last Saturday afternoon,aged forty years, seven months andfour days. Deceased had been inill health for several months and re-cently underwent a surgical operationat the Touro Infirmary in the hopeof benefitting her condition, but to,o avail. She continued steadily to

fail, and although every means thatlove and medical science could com-mand was resorted to in the effortto save her life, human agencyproved powerless to avert the inevi-table end, which came to her peace-fully and painlessly last Saturday af-ternoon.

Funeral services were held at theCatholic church at 2 o'clock p. m.Sunday, after which interment wasmade in the Goette family tomb inthe Catholic cemetery. Sorrowingfriends attended the obsequies inlarge numbers and laid fragrant flow-ers on the casket, tributes of love toone whose memory will ever be fond-ly cherished.

Miss Goette is survived by threebrothers, namely: Sidonius Goette,president and manager of the Donald-sonville Ice Co., Ltd.; Henry Goette,chief engineer of that concern, andAugust Goette, and two sisters, Mrs.Fred. Rogge, Sr., and Mrs. Fred.Werner, Sr.

In common with a wide circle of*friends and acquaintances, The Chiefextends its sincere sympathy to thebereaved family.

Prejean--Thibodaux. cA host of friends throughout this y

section were interested to learn of athe marriage of Robert Prejean, of yHaft-Way plantation, to Miss Irene tThibodaux, a popular yotng woman a

- of Napoleonville, which was solem- rnized at the Cosmopolitc.i Hotel in r

r New Orleans at noon Thursday, and awill join The Chief in extending r

I congratulations and good wishes to cthe happy couple. The following ac- f

I count of the romantic event is quoted cfrom the New Orleans Picayune of t

1 Friday:"In the spacious parlors of the Cos- t

8 mopolitan Hotel, at noon yesterday,a pretty little romance had its happy tclimax, when Robert Prejean, a well- 1known planter of Assumption parish,8 was joined in wedlock to Miss Irene

r Thibodaux, one of the charming8 young social leaders of Napoleonville.

"While the wedding was a quietone, the knot being tied In thepresence of only a few, there wasnothing of an elopement in it nor ameans to overcome parental objec-

o

tions. The young people were en-gaged, met in New Orleans and decid-ed to marry and surprise their rel-'atives and friends. Mr. Prejean'sfather, S. Prejean, is owner of the 1Half-Way plantation, near Donaldson- i

ville."
