N. A. c. BANQUET.
One of the Most Enjoyable Events
of the Season

Probably the most elaborate social
function ever carried out by the
students of the Normal, independent
of the faculty, was the banquet and
hop given Friday evening at the
Opera Hall by the Normal Athletic
Club. Though number of young
people outside the school we're in at
tendance, the company was distinctly
students gathering, and of the two
hundred or more banqueters who sat
down on either side of the trim tables,
running in parallel lines the full
length of the hall, less than a score
were outside the direct influence of
the Normal.
This condition gave to the company
an air of youthfulness and color,
which even the crisp dignity of the
faculty, seated austerely at the head
of the table, on either side of the
postmaster, could not sensibly mod
ify. Indeed, we're not so sure that
the very presence of these teachers,
fond and dear" did not in a measure
promote a sense of freedom and jollity
among the young people over whom,
during five days of the week, they
WELD the rod of discipline. AT any
rate, freedom and jolllty were there
came hand-in-hand with the faculty,
sat through their speeches, followed
them in the dances and remained
behind long after they had left.
At the head of the committees
having in charge the arrangements
for the banquet and the hop. was Mr..
Swartz of the Badger TO whose very
careful oversight was largely due the
spirited success Of the entertainment.
At the banquet proper, however,
Misses Barry, Williams, Smith, Deans,
Roberts, McCabe, Purves, Fowler,
Jensen, Horth and few other young
ladies, seemed to have taken things
into t'ieir own hands, and it was
under their bustling direction that
the guests, at little short of 900, sat
down at the decorated tables and
partook of this choice

not expected that the students will do
much more than make the play pat

ipants and the audience. While
there cannot be an Interpretation Of
character there will be repetition Of
the finer passages of great master
niece an that alone is valuable.
