VI NNANA -
DR. T. NJ. Williams possesses the
! faculties that make a most satisfac-
tory toast master and filed that office
lilo a very happy manner.
Miss Shale who so cordially
welcomed the guests enjoys the dis
tinction Of having graduated from
more schools than any other young
lady who has ever gone from the
college. Her address contained some
beautiful thoughts and was responded
to in just as cordial a manner by Miss
Hannah Groves of Corder Mo who
10 a feN well chosen words expressed
appreciation OF the hearty welcome.
Mr.. Smith, the prospective presi-
dent Of the college, who is fast
making friends Of his acquaintance
here, responded to a toast the subject
OF which sounds formidable; "Some
things far more deeply interfused,"
but as handled by him became full
Of meaning. Mr.. Smith made a
special appeal to the members Of the
Alumnae Association.
Miss PrOSser who has done so much
toward building up the college during
the last six years was called on and
responded most beautifully choosing
as her theme "The Power and In
luence of Educated Women"
Prot, G. A. Phillips responded to
the toast 1.-THE Alumnae'' with a
talk full of humor and highly enter
tanning.
Miss Westgate, representing the
class Of 1908, did so 10 a manner that
won new lauTels for the class that
chose her as its representative.
Mr.. W. NJ. Sloan, of st. Louis, who
delivered the address to the graduates
was called on and made some very
earnest and interesting remarks on
Education.
DR.. PalmOre, without whom a ban
luet or other function at Central
would be decidedly incomplete
responded to 1.-THE Floodtide Of Life"
subject particularly apropos Of the
present situation
Miss Fox as president of the asSo-
spoke feelingly Of the
approaching departure of DR.. and
Mrs. Williams aud ended her remarks
a request that Dr. Williams
'eSign his position as toast master
% speak to the Alumnae and guests.
The fact that he will so soon leave
jhe college, a fact so sincerely
regretted by the Association, gave
peculiar Significance to his words Of
commentator and encouragement.
After singing the Doxology DR..
Palmore pronounced a benediction
Ind the banquet Of 1903 was an event
the past.
