After this regular business Professor
Malone made an informal address,
which was highly appreciated by those
present. In the course of his remarks
he congratulated the Alumni upon
their action and gave them some good
advice. He said that they did not
realize what an immense amount of
good would be done in this community
by such a needed organization. He
urged them to tell of the facility af-
forded in the High school as a prepara-
tory school for college, and further
that they could honestly say that the
High school, as far as instructions
went, was on par with every similar
institution in the country, with the ex-
tception of the study of English, and
IN that it far excelled the majority of
high schools. He wished to impress
the fact that no opportunity should be
lost to urge new building, and that
II the community did not feel that
they could stand a tax, that wealthy
gentlemen should be approached, and
perhaps they would be generous
enough to build lasting monument to
themselves in the shape of High
school building.
He closed with more compliments
for the association
The meeting held forth a few min
utes longer to: consider what should be
done for the graduating class of 96.
Most of the members of last years
graduating class are a little sore at
the class of SO because the latter did
not give them a reception a year ago.
Numerous suggestions were made,
among them being one to hold meet
ing to receive, or invite the 96 class
into the Alumni Others suggested
that banquet be given them, while
still others wanted banquet to be
given inviting the class of SO, but ex-
planning that it was not in their honor.
The GROWING remark was made by
member when she suggested that the
So class be asked for 81 apiece as an
initiation fee, and then entertain them
on their own money. The whole matter
was left to the good judgment of the
executive committee and the meeting
adjourned.
