OAK GROVE ALUMNI
Continued from page ~

Seminary, was introduced, speaking
briefly on Loyalty of Oak Grove
Alumni" In his remarks he empha-
sized strongly the necessity of the
alumni putting forth their utmost eff
forts in the support of their alma
mater.
"Old Alumni was treated upon by
Edward Cook, who, in a concise and
forcible manner, spoke of the work
which the Boston alumni were doing
for Oak Grove and their financial sup
port rendered the institution and urged
upon the members of the school both
present and past, to make as great an
effort to advance the interests of the
school as the Boston alumni were
doing.
1.-The Advantage of Social Limita-
tons of Oak Grove" were discussed by
Z. w. Bradford in his usual happy, in
imitable manner. Mr.. Bradford recalled
a few "reminiscences, concluding with
an exceedingly funny story.
T. B. Hyde was chosen to speak on
1.-The School and the Church" He re-
viewed briefly the early history of the
institution and it's work, carefully
showing in his discourse, the relation
which the school bears to the church.
Prof. Fl. S. Allen then read an excel
lent original poem which he had pre-
pared especially for this occasion and
which was greatly appreciated.
Athletics at Oak Grove" was as
signed to Harold Hawkes., who began
with an outline of the work accom-
plished by the school along the lines of
athletics, and finished by showing the
important part that athletics play in a
college students life.
The last speech of the evening was
made by State Superintendent Of
Schools w. w. Stetson. In clear tone
which could be heard distinctly in ev-
cry part of the hall he commenced in
his characteristic drollery, a series of
funny incidents which convulsed his
audience with laughter. Then he
changed his discourse suddenly to the
serious and spoke eloquently on the
work which was being accomplished at
Oak Grove each year and the promise
of work that there was to be done in
the future.
Mr.. StetsOn's speech completed the
exercises and the floor was cleared for
a march the orchestra rendering mu-
| sic. At $50 the gathering broke up and
many were the expressions heard on
every side as to the success which had
| attended the entire reunion, the pleas
ures of which not even the rain had
been able to lessen. Yes, it was a great
day and one which will go down in the
annals of the school one of the most
successful reunions ever held at that
institution.
Among those in attendance were: Lin1.
