WAS BEST ONE EVER HELD
Over 80 Sons and Daughters Partici-
pated At the School Assembly
Room.

Over sixty sons and daughters OF spauld-
ing high school sat down to the eighth an.
nual bsnquet Of the alumni at the school
assembly room last evening, and particle
pated Ia what was without doubt the most
enjoyable banquet ever given by the grad
uates Of this school The innovation Of
having the banquet at the school building
instead of at hotel seemed to be largely
responsible for the increased good time
which the alumni had. There was also a
much larger attendance than usual
The banquet tables were arranged II the
form Of q large letter S, standing for
spaulding, making a novel and effective
scheme. Previous to the banquet an in-
formal reception was held, at which old
acquaintances we're renewed and new
ones were made, and shortly after pine
o clock the party sat down to an excellent
banquet served BY Mrs O. N Benedict
1t was an hour later when the postmaster,
Earl &. Parker, ~, raped for order and
called upon the speakers Of the evening,
and 1t was NOT until after midnight that
the final word was said

to the incoming class was delivered by
Mrs. o. J. Dodge, '95, and the response
was made by Newell Barber Of the class
Of a04 in an as hearty manner. James

solo. Clarence +. Worthen Of the same
