The seventh annual meeting of the
high school alumni was held in the as
sembly hall of the school building last
evening and was attended by about two
hundred members of the sOciety-prin-
cipally, of course, of the classes of 'S9
and '90-though there were representa-
tives of almost every class for ten years
back. 1t was an animated gathering of
young people, and the chairman had
difficulty in hushing the busy tongues
that would persist in chatting about
school events of past years.
The proceedings were opened with a
musical selection by Kleist's orchestra,
which, as we'll as other numbers given
by the orchestra during the evening,
was heartily appreciated. In the alb
sence of the president and vice presi
dents, the treasurer. John M. Blakley,
took the chair and presented brief
but excellent programme of recitation.
Prior to calling upon the contributors
he extended to the recently graduated
class of go a cordial welcome on behalf
of the alumni into the ranks of their So
ciety.
Henry P. Richie, president of the 80
class, returned the greeting, and ex-
pressed the pleasure the new class felt
in becoming members of so honorable
society.
Then followed an interesting address
by Prot. Carman, principal of the high
school; dialogue recitation by Will
lam l.. Banning, and readings by Miss
Austin and Miss Banning. Some de-
lightful numbers were sung by Miss
Mae Murphy, who was enthusiastically
recalled. Miss Austin and Miss Ban
ming also responded to recalls.
This programme having been thor
oughly enjoyed, the business session
was opened. A cash balance on hand
of $3.50 was shown by the treaSurer's
report to exist, and the thanks of the
association were rendered to that official.
The following officers were elected, the

MI. Martin announced that the Alum
nj Annual would be issued and on sale
in few days, and prominent feature
would be the school jokes of the past
four years.
A motion of adjournment was car
ried, but it meant only that no more
business would be transacted. The
floor of the hall was cleared of seats, and
to the excellent music of the orchestra
a couple of hours dancing was INDUCED
in by the young folks and several of the
older ones who were present.

ing the class of 'S9 held it's an
nual meeting and elected these Off
GERS: President, Leavitt Corning;

secretary, Sheppard Stone; treasurer,

perpetuate the class organization, and
power was given the officers to call a
meeting at any time when deemed ad
visable.
