ga FEAST OF REASON AND
FLOW OF SOUL"
The Alumni of the jackson High
School Once More Recall Their
School Days.

Schortly after o'clock last Thursda
f. evening large number of the Alumni o
our High School had assembled in tn
High Room. 1t was gay assemblage
There was intelligence, there was wit
there was beauty-all combined. Afte
a short prayer by Rev. Tedford the Asso
citation proceeded to the election of Off
GERS for the ensuing year. Since the duty
of the officers is of no little magnitude
there seemed to be manifestation of 90
positively decline" but after some delib
Grafton mingled with a great deal of con
versation the following officers were
chosen:
President-Ida Jones, 's3.
Vice observation-disclosures Henson, 'S3
and G. A. Radcliffe, 'S7.
Secretary-S. A. Sternberger, 'S3.
Treasurer-Alice Jones, 'S3.
Historian-Fannie Long, II.
Orator-Blanche Armstrong, 'SS.
Poet-I. L. DUNCAN.
The business meeting over, there came
the feast of reason and flow of SOUL"
Some of the old songs were sung after
which Mr.. Moore made humorous little
address on the folly of long speeches for
such occasions. Mr.. DUNCAN followed
with new idea, that every one should
so live that he may have happy past.
Just after this some one accidentally
made mild suggestion that the body as
| well as the mind and soul must feast.
1t was but short time until all were
pleasantly seated around the sumptuous
| tables at Pugh's. Never before has it
been more clearly proven that music
gives genuine relish to food.
The selections by Prof. Guth and Mr..
Witte seemed suited to the occasion very
rapid at first, then slow and steady.
Everybody knows Mr.. Dungan's super
ior ability as postmaster, and on this
occasion it was not wanting. The toast
master read a letter from Prof Kinnison
expressing his regrets at not being pre-
sent, and extending his best wishes to all
his young friends.
Charlie Radcliffe cordially welcomed
the class of 'SS, for whom Jno. /. Moore
responded.
"Our School Days" by Jennie Glidden
was original and witty. Jennie cannot
forgive Adam for his misfortune, and
thinks that the boy of the present day
has some of his traits.
Appropriate selections were read by
Name Williams and Alice Jones, and to
supplement these came beautiful duet
by Misses Name Williams and Carrie
Henson.
Miss Minnie Farrar's solo was an un-
usually pleasing one and drew forth a
great deal of applause.
Mr.. johnson knows chow to decline
gracefully"
Taking it all in all the occasion was
one to be enjoyed. There was but one
thing to be regretted and that was that
"Chet" Dyer was continually bewailing
his unfortunate, condition, saying that he
had written to fifty six young ladies of
the Alumni and but two responded. To |
be sure this was discouraging, but then |
Rev Tedford helped him out by a profta- |
BILE suggestion. However "Chet" togeth-
er with all the other officers are to be
for their strenuous efforts |
in making the banquet an enjoyable
one.
