RESPONSES TO CATCHY T0AsTs

| Meeting to do honor to their alma mater,
| severally and collectively, the members Of
the University Club of Washington held
their third annual banquet at the Raleigh
Hotel last night. Songs and stories and
college cries reminiscent of old Harvard, of
Yale, Of George Washington University and
of schools all over the land were the rule Of
the evening, and as the chorus Of one of
the songs put it
| ''Hurrah! hurrah! for all the boys
We are here to make q noise.
And if you do not like our way
In our back yard you cannot play"

feast and the seating capacity of the new

at the top Of each card, and this and the
list of good things in the center were
probably the most ineligible portions of
the menu
