Los Angeles herald., 1890-06-22

third annual reNnion in the assembly
hall of the normal school on Fifth street
last night, about two hundred ladies
and gentlemen responding to the invita-
tions issued by a committee, consisting
of the Misses Cora King and Mabel
Rorick, and Messrs. j. G. Mahar and
Lewis S. Thorpe.
A high-class entertainment had been
provided for the amusement OF the
visitors, and the unanimous verdict of
all who were fortunate enough to be
present, at the close, was that most
enjoyable evening had been spent.
A souvenir programme, embellished
with an etched likeness of Professor Ira
More, which was remarkably well exc
cuted and will doubtless be treasured by
the friends of the president OF the faculty
was furnished.
The entertainment was opened by an
orchestra of five pieces, which performed
the overture of Latamis Fest" in
very creditable manner.
Mr.. w. r. Holiday, the former vice.
president of the association, after apollo
gizing for the absence of the ex-presi-
dent, Mr.. r. B. Haydock, addressed the
audience, stating the purpose of the for
nation of the association three years
ago and calling attention to it's remark
able growth since its inception. He
then introduced the new president, Mr..
Spurgeon Riley, who stated that it
had been time-honored custom for the
newly-elected president to make a
speech at the reunion, but he had sud-
denly changed his mind as to the pro-
priety of the custom since he had been
called to the presidential chair. He
was happy, however, to assume the
duties necessary to his position, and he
would endeavor to keep up the tone of
the association which he now more than
ever considered "high toned"
Miss Mollie Adelia Brown, who was in
excellent voice, sang Clays ''She Wan
dered Down the Mountain Side' in an
admirable manner, which charmed her
somewhat critical audience.
A waltz "Sabre las Olds," Juventino
Rosas, by the orchestra, was followed by
speech by the Hon. S. M. White, who
was introduced in a few well-chosen
phrases by President Riley. Mr.. White
apologized for the absence of his fellow
trustee, Mr.. w. H. Smith, whose name
was down on the programme, and for
his own embarrassment at being called
upon to address such an audience with
out preparation. His remarks which
followed, were entertaining, and were
listened to with close attention. A song
by A. Hawthorne was encored, and after
an intermission, mandolin solo by G..
Marshall was listened to with pleasure
The orchestra played selection from
Iolanthe, Mr.. Hawthorne sang "'Tis l."
by Pinsuti, and Prof. Ira More delivered
an address to the society, presenting it
with a gavel A song by Miss Brown
and a selection by the orchestra con-
cluded the programme.
