THE ATHENIAN BANQUET.

The Eleventh Annual Banquet of
the Athenian Forensic Club was held
at the Rudolph Tuesday evening, and
the festal event closed at 1:3O We'd
nesday morning, after nearly four
hours of Athenian glory.
The gallant Athenians and their
guests marched into the dining room
at $50, headed by President and
POSTMASTER William Tank, followed
by the speakers and guests. AS the
last notes of a splendid march by the
Indseth orchestra ceased, Toastmaster
Tank arose and addressed the as
sembled multitude with all the force,
eloquence and wit which modern
Athenians are noted for. The license
of a Toastmaster is greater than a
marriage license, and the speaker
gave all a royal welcome and told
them to eat, drink and be merry for
tomorrow would bring strenuous life.
He cast a tender glance at the first
victim on the o%ratorical scroll-Prof.
WOODBURY., and close by sat the war
rior, Carl Glaettli, whom he regard
ed with a brotherly affection born of
the Rhineland, then he smiled at the
ministerial looking lawyer, Judge
Jameson, at whom he cast a few darts
as a reminder Of what was to come.
Nearby he found a six feet four
educator-Prof. Lawrence, and gen.
tly limited that it would be no trouble
for him s'to look down on others"
Then came the scholarly master of
Augustana, President Tuve, and to
him he handed out a few suggestions
on lovely woman for which he had a
license. At the eastern end of the
big L shaped table sat a modest
lawyer and friend of Shakespeare,
who was billed to talk on Everyone
is a physician or a fool at forty"
The speaker threw a literary javelin
or two at this modest artist because,
being forty" himself, didn't know
what he might get when Attorney
Forrest began to elaborate on the two
extremes.
The Toastmaster was exceedingly
brilliant at both ends with his
epigrammic flow of festal wreaths,
which he hung around the silken
covered necks of his staff as he played
ball on their forced silence and forth
fed himself against what hes had
reason to expect. He mixed Irish
and Dutch to the queens taste and
had Dooley going over the fence when
he concluded amidst rounds of
applause.
AS a POSTMASTER he is matchless,
and there is no Athenian here or
elsewhere who can give him "cards
and spades"
After this brilliant review by the
POSTMASTER came the epicurean end
of Athenian wealth, provided like a
prince by the genial Col. Nc Dermott,
and elegantly served under the direc-
tion of Miss Norma Kalbaugh and a
specially trained corps of walters.
There was no talking until the
festal boards were empty, and then
oratory flowed and bubbled with fact
and fancy amid applause and backed
by Is smiling faces.
The speakers we're Prof. WOODBURY.,
Carl Glaettli, A. R. Jameson, G. G..
Lawrence, A. G. Tuve and Asa For
rest. Space will not permit a reveiw
OF the subjects discussed but suffice to
say all the speakers we're at their best
and the spirit that rules this club
was never more brilliantly entertain
ing.
