ANNUAL
ALUMNI RECEPTION AND
BANQUET GREAT SUCCESS

The 39th annual reception and ban
quet of the Paw Paw High School Alum
ni association was held at the Maple
City club rooms last Friday evening
June 10. 1t was, without question the
best Alumni banquet ever given by the
association considering it from every
point of view.
1t was the largest crowd that has ever
attended, due probably to the strength
of the program and to the fact that the
banquet was served by the ladies of the
Baptist church, which is a good recon.
mendation The ladies made great
effort to make this the best yet, and they
carried out their efforts uobly. The bar
quet was served in four courses by the
girls Of the junior class in capable
manner. Plates were set for l3S, but
l43 had to be fed so accommodations
were speedily made. Tables we're prettily
decorated with lilies, smilaxand peonies,
the graduating class table looked espec-
tally tasty.
From eight to nine the. din of voices
gradually rose higher as steadily the
crowd came, and by nine it was a truly
happy crowd of old and young, renewing
old acquintauces and meeting new
friends. Before the banquet was served
a few matters of business were taken
care of, and upon motion of Merl Young,
Rev f. IL. Harvey, Prof j. A. O'Leary,
aud Miss Josephine Malkuska were made
honorary members of the association.
Other business was election of officers
for the ensuing year
President Earl l.. Burhans introduced
the toastmstress of the evening, Mrs.
Lena Snow Pritchard, who, it may be
said, acted as such in a capable and
pleasing way. Her introductions were
pointed and gotten off in good sty lie.

Mrs Harrison and Mrs. Sellick played
a piano duet which was enjoyed by all

did not. Blaine Warner and Grace Wood
each sang solos and responded to encores.
They both sang beautifully and their

COUNCIL PLANS
IMPROVEMENTS
Purchased Lot East of En-
Gine House and Plan to
Erect Fine Building.
TO MAKE LADIES' REST ROOM
Front Will Be Used as Village Clerks
Office. Will Also Erect Two San
itary Drinking Fountains.

Some time ago, at one of the Booster

would be a fine idea to have in Paw Paw
what should be known as ladies rest
ROOM The suggestion was received
with favor, and il the plans of the village
council as outlined at the last meeting
are carried out, such room will soon be
a reality in Paw Paw.
1t was voted by council last Monday
evening to purchase of Dr. Lanphear
and DR.. Maxwell the lot between the

erect building on this lot, fit up an
office in the front for the village clerk,
and in the rear a fine room for ladies'.
No definite plans can be announced at
this time, but it is probable that the
above will be carried out.
The council also voted to accept the
proposition of DR.. Lanphear and G. A.
Norwood who offered to furnish two
sanitary drinking fountains il the viii
lage would install the same. A commit
tee composed of Messrs Flock Bassett,
Norwood and Lamphear was appointed
to see that the same was properly plac-

other on main street in front Of the old
court house grounds. Claims were al

Claude Fairchild is thinking seriously
OF challenging the great Weston for
pedestrian honors. Ii is doubtful il his
wind would hold out for long distance

Three Mile lake to Paw Paw he is a
wonder
Several days ago, Claude took his
family TO Three Mile lake to teach them
how to catch blue glls, an art of which
he is past master. 1e thought a little

about eight o'clock, the steed was no.
where to be found, aud after wandering
through various fields and vineyards, he
concluded that the animal had started
home. and he hiked towards Paw Paw.
He found no trace of the horse how
ever, and hitched up another one, and
drove back after his family There was
40 official timekeeper, but Claude says
1t took him just twenty minutes to make

Karma and Dharma and Bab and the rest. But alas, 1t teaches us to play with august realities, and strut like silly children in the quaint garb of the more ancient, made quaint by their unfitness for anything but play. An, with what toil- some agony the first wearers of those garments wrought, And shall we go mas querading in their dust-stained robes, mouthing their holy words, and call the result a new religion?'' It will only leave us quite unable to feel the tragic reali- ties of our own spiritual environment.
 Let us fall back with Maurice on the simple and familiar Saxon speech, and be content to call the battle of the time, as he called it, ''the conflict of good and evil in our day" Fiercely, often silently, steadfastly now and again with the cry of a murdered soul, the hoarse scream of rapicious avarice, the visionless laugh ter of children and the moan of aged despair, the battle surges past us. But while we look on. theorizing, questioning, suddenly we understand that we are in the battle, too! Nay. worse The battle is in us, and those terrible leaders of the fray, the lords of life and death. are
