The enterprise. [volume] (Wellington, Ohio) 188?-1899, 1898-06-22


tastefully arranged booklet bearing on
the cover "W. H. s. A., '9S" and under
waving flag the couplet:
"'T is the star-spanged banner; oh long may
1t wavel
Ger the land Of the free, and the home of the
bravel"
Upon the leaves printed in red and
blue to complete the scheme of red,
white and blue, our national patriotic
songs.
The line of march around the hall was
then begun to the time of Marching
through Georgia." Everybody sang and
marched as If he were $4,000 strong"
marching via Georgia to Cuba. It was
not upon the Spanish host, but to the
mayors courtroom to an excellent sup
per prepared by Caterer E. F. Robinson.
Not small part of the pleasure of the
feast is due the juniors sswhO decorated
the tables SO tastefully with ferns and
daises and our plates with a plentiful
supply of good things. National colOrs
adorned the chandeliers and walls. Kin
one corner, screened entirely by red,
white and blue, an orchestra played dur
ing supper. A special vote of thanks is
due the junior class for their service and
especially for the pleasure they have
given all in their beautiful decorations
from commencement to the alumni ban
quet.
Mr.. TOastmaster raped for order and
now had come another and better feast.
Mr.. HOllenbach greeted the:members
and with a few remarks introduced Mr..
Alden R. Palmer, who welcomed '98 in
part saying that we and Mr. TOastmaster
were to be congratulated upon securing
his presence that evening. Nobody else
would do that part so at the eleventh
hour like fool he had rushed in where
angels feared to tread. [Applause.l He
remembered the time just ten years ago
when he had entered that association.
Then his whole thought had been what
should he get to eat and drink and
wherewithal should he be clothed. Mr..
Palmer related pathetic little incident
of that day or evening Of how he had
proudly taken young woman to alumni
and after she had eaten what his good
money had paid for she basely deserted
him and went home with another man.
There were just an equal number of boys
and girls in his class and II girl stayed
away man was left; he was the man
'9S had no such troubles judging from
the minority of the boys.
Gracefully and heartily Mr.. Palmer
congratulated and welcomed '98 to the
W. H. S. A., and he would have them ap'
preciate more and more the friendships
here made and renewed.
Leon Adams in few good sentences
responded to
Unto school life with all its joys
We bid sad good-by,"
Now that they were no longer schOO
boys and girls, they looked forward will
confidence and joy that new experiences
would make them the better and richer

Don't pay for anything"
