The second anniversary banquet Of
the Fourteen Friends. held last night
in Matters hall, was an occasion that
sill be recorded as the greatest of the
many social functions occurring on this
side. The Fourteen Friends, since the
organization Of the club, have set a
pace in social matters not easily kept
abreast of. The event of last evening
eclipscd all previous efforts.
The work of arranging the many de-
tails, incident to the banquet involved
Il vast amount OF time and energy ON
the part of the committees. and the
smoOthurSs and perfection that charaC-
tnrizcd the affair reflects the credit due
the gentlemen. The women friends OF
the club to no small degree, are to be
congratulated on the success of the
event, from the fact that they rendered
ineStimable service in arranging the
nenu and the tables. Their handiwork
was also evident in the decorations.
