OLD GRADUATES REUNION.
HIGH SCHOOL ALUMNI MEET
AT BANQUET.
They Elect OMcers For New Year
and Pass q Pleasant
Evening.

At the reunion and banquet of the
Sacramento High School Alumni Asso-
citation at the .senate Chamber in the
Capitol last night there was. large
attendance and a pleasing program.
The guests found the reunion pleasant
and profitable leviving as it did old
memories and associations of youth
President Frank Miller called the
meeting to order in the Senate Cham
der, making a brief and pointed speech
before inaugurating the business of
the evening. Officers were then elected
for the ensuing year, after which those
present discussed an elaborate menu,
which was broken by many pleasant
little responses to sentiments dear to
the members. Among other things,
President Miller said
s. Everybody and everything should
have a reason for existence Why does
this Alumni Association exist? For
pleasure and profit to it's members, you
reply; but that is not the entire an
swer. We exist to promote the educa-
ton of 5000 children in this city.
We pledge ourselves to meet once
in each year to honor those who have
just finished the whole course of pub
lie school education; but at the same
time we ask every child in the primary
and grammar schools to look forward
to the day when, in like manner, we
shall honor them.
Having received an education at the
expense of the taxpayers of this city,
1t must be our duty to maintain the
high standard of all of the public
schools in this city.
Upon this association is laid an i'm
portant duty; it has been neglected
for many years, but it shall have at
tention hereafter.
1--WE are now asking the voters to
give a new schoolhouse SO that the
pupils of the High School shall have
enough pure air.
I'VE shall always ask for higher
standards in the graduating of classes
and in the employment of teachers; for
we. are in remote corner of the great
est nation of the world, and we may
be standing still without knowing it.
I'VE hope that the Board of Educa-
tion will be composed entirely of High
School graduates, half of them men
and the rest women.
Leaders in public affairs are needed,
and they must even drive as we'll as
lead. In a certain opera some Spanish
porters are seen carrying boxes and
bales of smuggled goods over the
mountains. Their leader uses whip
upon them freely.
THE men do not rebel: they prefer
to be urged forward by the lash rath-
er than to exert their will power. In
this way they lose no nerve force and
they catch only a few blows, which do
not hurt.
They employ the leader, or consent
to his employment, for this very SER
vice
In like manner, and to a, certain ex-
tent. the advancing of what is every
body's business requires the cracking
of whip. No one person wishes to
hold the whip, and so it must be WELD
ed by a. collection of individuals This
association must crack the whip with
loving hands over the heads of our fell
1ow-citizens for the sacred cause Of
education.
Because of the good we can do let
Us all say, long life to the Sacramento
High School Association.

next order of business was the election

lin; Vice President. F. T. Johnson;
