BANQUET
OF SCRANTON
CONCLAVE OF
HEPTASORHS
nv SCRANTON
BICYCLE CLUB
TWELFTH

AS is their custom, the Heptasophs
were accompanied by their lady friends.
Some little disturbance to the pre-
scribed programme was occasioned by
the fact that the attendance exceeded
expectations, but this did not in any
way interfere with it's enjoyment, if
indeed it did not add to II, because of
its novelty. 1t was proposed to have
the banquet and speeches in the dining
| hall and then follow with q hop in the
dancing hail. The dining hall, however,
would not accommodate all at one time,
| so it was arranged that there should
| be two sittings and then all should
congregate in the dance hall to hear
the speechmaking. While the first
| table was being served the people down
stairs danced to the music that enliv-
ened the dinner and then those who
sat at the first table followed the same
| programme While waiting for the de-
| layed diners. Rev. Foster u. Gift made
| the opening invocation.
The menu card contained the follow
| ing promises, which were amply full
filled by Caterer Joseph Curt:
Blue Points on Half Shell.
Roasts.
Vermont Turkey. Cranberry Sauce
Philadelphia Capon.
Baked Ham. Ribs of Beef
Salad
Chicken Mayonnaise.
Potato.
Desert.
French Ice Cream. Fancy Cakes.
Fruits. Coffee. Nuts.

had been satisfied and all had assem-
| bled in the spacious dancing hall, DR..
