Anything to say why sentence should
not be pronounced and the prisoner

BANQUET TO SENIORS.
The Juniors Entertain the Seniors
A Pleasant Occasion.

One Of the most delightful events
in the past session Of Newberry COL
le2e was the banquet given in honor
of the Class OF 1905 by the Junior
class. -
At ten o'clock the guests assembled
in the Armory and partook of a
goodly supper, prepared by S. B
Jones.
After the supper James T. Owen
president of the Junior class made a
very impressive talk, which was re-
sponded to by J. E. Hipp, president
of the graduating class.
Mi. J. E. Harms, for two years
president of the Senior class, now an
alumnus of Lenoir college, being
sailed upon, responded.
President J. A. B. Scherer was very
witty in his remarks, and delighted
the audience.
Dr.. Cromer made one of his inter-
esting talks, his hearers being filled
with mirth and laughter.
Those present, outside of the two
classes. were Dr.. Jas. A. B. Scherer
and wife, Dr. and Mrs. Cromer, and
J. E. Harms.
The Junior-Serio! banquets are
always an event of pleasure to the
students. and this one was certainly
a most enjoyable one
