The Alumni association of the Salt
Lake High school held it's fourth an
nual reception at the High sch pol
building last night. The desks in he
large lecture hall had been removed,
and tables were placed upon the stand.
The room was beautifully decorated
with college colors, bunting, flags, flow
| ers and ported plants.
| The reception was a very informal
affair. When Tod Goodwin of the class
of SO. who acted as master of cere-
| monies, called the association to order
there were probably seventy-five peo-
| pie present, mostly members of the
newly graduated class.
Mr.. Goodwin introduced Charles
Peak of the class of '95, president of
the association. VINO delivered a short
address of welcome to the class of 80.
Mr.. Peak, after explaining the pur-
poses for which the association was or
ganized, welcomed the class of '99 into
the fold. hoping that they would prove
loyal members and help to work up
an interest in behalf of the Alumni as
ISOLATION.
President Waldemar Young of the
class of '99. in behalf of the class, re-
sponded, thanking Mr.. Peak and the
Alumni association for the warm well
come, and promised that the class of
SO would be as loyal to the High school
and the Alumni association as it had
been studious during the past four
years. He spoke of the pleasant ties
that had been formed in the school,
and rejoiced in the prospect of their
being made permanent in the Alumni
association.
Professor Beaver was next called.
He took for his text Our Boys and
Girls and spoke about as far away
from the text as preachers generally
do. Mr.. Beaver spoke very humorous
ly of his and Professor Clarks child
hood, and also cracked a number of
jokes on the seniors.
Professor Clark spoke on the subject,
BE Great in Fact as You Have Been
Great in Thought" In beginning, he
related a few jokes on Professor Beav-
er. and then went on to give the grad
yates some good advice as to their
conduct in life. He spoke of the grow
ing influence of the high school, sta--
ing that it was fast becoming the peo-
pies college, as only a very small num-
Der who go through the high school
ever get to a university. He urged the
graduates to teach the world that no.
bility of character and purity of pur-
pose was the plane upon which to
stand.
Tod Goodwin spoke OH the Future
of the Association" He hoped that the
future would not be judged from the
past. as the lack of enthusiasm in the
past was deplorable. The new mem-
bers were urged to be loyal to the as
ISOLATION.
The programme closed with a short
address from Miss Florence Dye, VIII )se
subject was "Our Heroes" Miss Dye
said that a hero was one who did his
duty, and cited the boys who responded
to their country's call as the highest
type of heroes.
After the programme, those present
spent the remainder of the evening in
a social way, dancing and partaking of
ice. cream and cake. with lemonade,
which was served during the dancing.
