These young men who gathered at
the first club banquet Is years ago to
try and make head against the old die
tators did not have any inkling of the
great success they were to achieve.
The guests at that little old banquet
plucked fat offices like a boy picking
strawberries. And the guests at each
succeeding banquet have furnished
Kansas at every biennial period.
