The Norfolk board of education re-
grets cupid has recruited so many
pretty June brides from the ranks of
Norfolk school teachers during the
past year. This at least was the sen
| timent expressed by Secretary II. G..
| Matrau of the school board, who re-
| sponded to the toast, THE New Re-
cruit," at the annual high school alum
nj reception for graduates, given in
Marquardt hall last night. officers
| for the new year were elected as fol-
lows: President, Miss Mino McNeely,
| 'O1; vice president, Lawrence Hoff-
man. OF; secretary and treasurer,
| Miss Georgia Austin, '06. Hon. John
r. Hays, who has for many years
served in the capacity of POSTMASTER
at each recurring alumni banquet,
filled that position with wonted wit
and excellence again last night.
There was large attendance at
the reception. The hall was prettily
decorated in colors of the incoming
| class, purple and old gold. Among
the guests, besides alumni members
and graduates, were POSTMASTER and
Mrs, John r. Hays. Superintendent
| Bodwell, President Viele of the board
of education and Mrs. Viele, Secretary
and Mrs. Matrau, Mr.. and Mrs. r. Sol
ONION, Miss Fleming, Miss Watson.
| Guests were seated at small tables
in the hall for luncheon. President
William Darlington called the meet
ing to order and welcomed the incom-
ing class. He extended most hearty
welcome to the new members, on be-
half of the alumni association, and
paid eloquent tribute to the memory
of Ralph Braasch, the only member
of the alumni association who has
succumbed during the year.
On behalf of the graduates Sam
Erskine, one of the most popular and
efficient members of the class, respond
ed briefly in short but crisp and
effective address.
| Mr.. Darlington introduced Mr.. Hays
as postmaster of the evening to pre-
side over the meeting from that mo-
ment on. Mr.. Hays had a clever
story for each toast and he made the
most of his opportunity.
Prof. Reese Solomon sang a vocal
solo and did it nicely.
Superintendent E. ]. Bodwell ably
responded to the subject, Everything
Has Its Model" He, emphasized the
fact that various implements had been
modelled after different parts of the
human system. He pointed out the
, custom OF children to accept grown
folk as models He finished by de-
: claring that "all nature seems to
abound in models. Whatever we dc
seems to be based upon some ideal
, or model and characters who model
in this way will win esteem and admi
ration in their community"
