THE ALUMNI.
The eighth annual banquet of the

an intellectual gathering at the High

forded where youth, wit and vivacity
are the prominent features and
where JOY is undisturbed. A feeling

the entire assembly and all else but
pleasure was forgotten in the gen
eral wave of sociality which perme-
ated the recesses of the the sanctum
where character is bred and bios
somed.
The banquet board was spread in
the large recitation room, the seats
on one entire side having been re-.
moved. The decorations and ar
rangement of the spacious interior,
was grand, and easily exceeded all
efforts of past years,
About nine thirty all were re-
quested to take their places at the
tables. Prof. l.. p. Sterner, pre-
sided as POSTMASTER. The menu,
which was fine one was prepared
and served by +. NJ. Gilmore
Throughout the serving Of the
edibles, the School Orchestra furn-
ished delightful music. The sooth-
ing strains drove care to the four
winds and left in its stead a peace
full satisfactory feeling which seem
ed deep rooted in every participant.
After all had done justice to the
repast, leaving just sufficient intel
lectual digestive powers to absorb
