ALUMNI BANQUET.
Held in I. o. o. F. Bahqueting Hall
Thursday Evening, May r3th.

Ahutouay Evening, way I3tn.
The thirteenth annual banquet and
reunion of the Reynoldsville High
School Alumni Association held in the
|. o. o. F. banqueting hall last Thurs
day evening was very pleasant event.
The attendance this year was the larg-
est in the history Of the association.
Promptly at S45 p. m. the program
of the evening was taken up, which
was as follows: Piano duet, Misses
Alice Mitchell and Marie Altman;
reading by Miss Nula Neale; singing
by the Cadenza Club; music by or
chestra.
The orchestra played a march and
the banqueters fell in line and after
marchiug couple of times around the
the two long tables, spread for ore
hundred persons they were ready for
the feast Of good things. The two long
tables did not accommodate all and
small table was laid for six. H. T.

Prof. W. M. Rife, city superinten.

given: Hearts Desire" Dr.. A. ].
Meek; Ambition" Miss Celia Yost,

tion," Raymond E. Brown, ESQ.,, '9S:
WHO'S Who?" Miss Florence Harris,
'0S; "Sunbeams and Shadows" Clement
w. Flynn, '01. These persons we're
booked for toasts and were prepared
and each one was very interesting and
enjoyable. DR.. j. G. Sayers was the
only one present that was called upon
for an impromptu speech, but he is
is always "loaded" and ready to respond
to such requests and his short speech
was good. The custom in the past of
calling on persons who are not pre-
pared and are not afterdinner speakers
at best, has to some extent spoiled the
good things given by those who 90
prepared and expect to speak.
This was a very good banquet and
reunion. After the tables we're cleared
