BANQUET FOR GRADUATES
Glass of 1906 Holds Last of Its Social
Functions at Paxton.
FEAST IS PRECEDED BY A RECEPTION
Teachers and Pupils who Are Leay-
ing the school Respond to List of
Toasts Appropriate for the
Occasion.

Reviving pleasant memories of their un-
dergraduate days, the senior class of 1905 of
the High school held their banquet at the
Paxton last night. An elaborate menu
and well-arranged list of toasts furnished
an evening of entertainment we'll fitted to
mark the last large social function in
which the class in it's entirety will parti-
ci2ate.
Preceding the banquet an informal recep-
ton was held in the parlors of the hotel.
The receiving committee was composed of
Mrs. Ida Fleming, Curtis Lindsay, the class
president, and Miss Kate McHugh, class
teacher. From the parlors the class
marched to the banquet hall, where much
OF the best that the culinary art affords,
awaited them, with the proper trimmings
of oratory slated to follow.
"The New Point" was dwelt upon by
Principal Waterhouse, who pointed out
some of the illusions that pupils in their
high school course are apt to have, but
which the acquiring of experience in the
proper season is bound to dispel He gave
them pointed maxims and we'll worded bits
of advice to take TO heart and remember.
Superintendent Davidson spoke on 1.-THE
End of the Play" saying that the drama
of a high school career was closed for a
class that had shown it's merit and of
which the institution that it leaves may
we'll be proud. His advice to the young
people was: place your ideal ahead of
you and pursue it until you have OBJ
tained it," He said that what a man is
today he will be tomorrow Touching the
subject more closely he explained that if
during his school days a pupil is con
scientious, determined upright and
wholesomely ambitious he will be so in
the future when confronted with the
serious problems of life. In the same
connection he said; you must dedicate
yourselves to the service of your fellow
men and in discharging this duty every
one muct work helpfully and soulfully."
Some striking ideas were brought out
in the toasts responded to by the class

KRUe PARKS NEW FEATURES
Some Sensational Novelties Added TO
the List of Attractions on
the Hilltop.

The class of diversions and amusements
presented at Krug park for the coming
week possesses the merit of novelty. Man
ager Cole has secured the Lombard broth
ers, presenting novelty aerial act, start
ling in the extreme and a genuine thriller
They open at Krug park on Sunday and
continue for the balance of the week, ap-
pearing in the arena twice daily, at and

other balloon ascension on Sunday.
Bandmaster j. NJ. Finn has arranged a
special program, embracing some brand new
music for the patrons of the park.
The popular favorite roller coaster has
enjoyed an immense patronage and still
pleases, while the new favorite, WON
derland," has sprung at once into the
hearts of the people. The laughing gal
lery enjoys a perennial patronage of the
people, who enjoy hearty laugh at the
queer distortment of their figures re-
flected from the mirrors, while the shoot
ing gallery, merry-go- round and the new
disturbance, "The House OF Trouble" all
cater to a desirable business. The beauti-
full display of foliage and flowers is enjoyed
by the thousands of Krug park patrons.
All the plants seem TO have reached at
once their full bloom
Every evening the remarkably correct
display of moving pictures, embracing all
the events of the life of Christ and Wag-
ner's "Parsifal," draw large crowds to
their particular corners of the park. Mr..
r. c. Taylor, to whose skill as an cleo
trician and operator their success is due.
is in complete charge, both of the pictures
and the prsmltic fountain, which is a
creation of his own.
Krug park as a family picnic ground is
steadily gaining in popularity. The park
force of attendants and assistants is well
drilled in their particular duties and the
many pleasant anl laudatory comments of
the parks patronage are very gratifying to
