and the toasis began. Professor Shuli-
peculiar, pleasing, popular Professor
Shuli responded to the toast
THE High Schnol;' and his
RESPONSE was a credit even to him. The
applause that greeted the gentleman as he
closed, was no more a tribute to Professor

it was mark OF appreciation OF his re-
Spouse. Charles Lease made witty re-
Spouse to the subject, Tine Bar" Miss
Mary Hall made aspiendId, witty response
to The Sweet Boy Graduate" She spoke
in her own style. ina manner just as plain
as candid, and as pleasing as Miss Mary Is

called upon, she responded with very
appropriate poem upon the required SUB

Erwin Taft also did we'll with his sub
ject, 1.-The Exikd Alumnis." Erwin
knows whereof he spoke, and his words
were touching and sincere. This was enc
the very best toasts of the evening and
was especially creditable because of the
fret that Mr.. Taft was lot notified
until very shortly before he was
called upon to respond. In fact be was
given less time in which to collect his
ideas than was any other speaker. ms
toast was from the heart. aud no mental
chicsnery or hypocrisy existed to mar It's
natural beauty. Harry Dunbar read an

toast, wichita" LIE Roy Kramer and

respective toasts of "Where Are We At?'
and "Ye Nexte Thynge." Herbert Levy

to the parlors, where the remainder

dancing and conversation. The alumni

after one. The affair has no equal IN the
annals of the association. Much credit is
due to Miss Anna B. Mason, Miss LeIda
H, Mills, Miss Beth Pope, ". Is. Throck-
morton, Professor L. p Shull and others,
for their interchangeable efforts to make the
affair a success. But they were rewarded

their own creation. May the Alumni as
