alumni to be bound BY ties stronger
and more eternal than girders Of
steel.
The committee on programme,
when it selected Miss Mildred Haynes
to discuss "Our Graduates of Former
Days, was not without reason for
so doing. While a graduate of a
former class and of a former year.
Miss Haynes had watched with much
pride the graduates of the Marion
Graded School as they had gone to
the different states and assumed
many of the most responsible posi-
lions of trust and honor to be had
Among the long list of graduates
who had brought honor to the school,
after under going test after test, she
made especial mention of julius
Fohs, Lonny Towery, p. d. Max
well, Kay Kevil, Albert order. and
as she put it, ''last but not least,
except in point of size, Virgil Y.
Moore.
The subject, sin Reminiscent
Mood, as handled by Mr.. Gray
Rochester was one of the hits Of the
evening. Gray Is graduate of the
High School class and is known as a
ready speaker and debater. He ellie
tied much applause from the audience.
Misses Leatfa Wilborn, Ina Price
and Mildred Haynes had charge Of
the invitations and the refreshments.
The refreshments consisted of ham
sanwiches, pickles, salted peanuts,
ice cream, sherbet and cake. To
say that these young ladies were IN
charge of the refreshments is a guar
antee that this part of the programme
was all that could have been asked
for or expected.
Prof. Kee, who acted as toast
master of the occasion. had a pleas
ant smile and kind word for every
one. While yet a young man as an
instructor he is old in the popular
regard. The school has had him for
two terms and his good judgment to
great extent led to the excellent
success of the alumni.
There were many of the old grad
yates present who were glad to again
spend few pleasant hours in meet
ing and mingling with their class
mates of other days as well as to
form many new acquaintance, who
we're members of this years class.
In short the alumni was great sue
cess and all who attended will long
remember the happy occasion.
The officers elected for next year
were as follows: President, Miss
Leaffa Wilborn; vice president, G.
W. Haynes; treasurer, Robert Cook T;

THE ALUMNI
Large Number Of Graduates Graduates
Gathered at School Auditorium
Monday Night.

The Alumni of the Marion Graded
School was held at the school chapel
on Monday night of TINS week, and
was by far the most successful OF the
many pleasant events OF this kind
that have been had since the organ
ization of the school in 1894. The
programme included addresses by
several of the graduates, vocal solos.
piano solos, alumni songs, and music
rendered by the Marion Silver
Cornet Band.
The welcome address, which was
made by Attorney W. H. Clark, was
well delivered and received with
much applause as he told Of the close
and lasting friendship that existed
between the members of the "Alum-
nj" He reminded his fellow grad
yates that whatever mistakes had by
them been made during their school
days that they were now forgotten,
and that they come together as a
happy band and in one common
cause. All were made to realize
that it was not a welcome in words
merely, but in spirit as we'll. The
response, to the welcome address,
which was given by Miss Ethel Hard,
to be appreciated had to be heard as
it was earnest, logical and forcibly
delivered. By her talk, Miss Hard
convinced those present that the
ways of life along the path of duty
are open to all and lead to distinction.
Round after round of laughter was
heard as Miss Ina Price gave in very
attractive style, "Cupid's Franks in
School" Miss Ina had her subject
we'll in hand, is splendid speaker
and was at all times at perfect ease
as she told Of the many pranks that
cupid had played In the Marion
Graded School, pointing out among
the graduates many of his victims.
The audience was delighted and
cheer after cheer greeted her re-
marks.
The Valedictorian Of the High
School class, Miss Mary Deboe. was
called upon for speech, she being
a special favorite with all Of the
graduates and faculty as we'll. Miss
Deboe is one of the best speakers
that has ever attended the school,
and is highly entertaining; her
speech upon this occasion was no
exception to her usual way of doing
things, and was one of the real
pleasures of the evening.
The lovers of music, and especial
ly those who are partial to vocal aud
instrumental solos, we're delighted
with the selections given by Misses
Sallie Woods, Pearl Doss and Gus
tava Haynes. The pieces we're all
we'll rendered and proved quite a
treat to those present.
One of the leading features of the
alumni was the spleudid music made
by the 'Marion Silver Cornet Band. I"
This was especially enjoyed by those
who participated In the march, as
they kept step with the music, that
too, with an inspiration and interest
that showed the members of the
