w dlG6I bulhO was c1Gctcu pT0SluSHt
of the Kenosha High School associa-
ton at the annual business meeting of
the association which followed the
banquet and reunion on Saturday af-
ternoon and the control of the asso-
citation has passed from the older to
the younger members Of the organiza-
ton. The other officers elected in
Guided Vice President Mrs. Hattie Nc
Kenzie, Treasurer Miss Perdita Dewey.
Secretary Jay B. Glerum. Conrad
the executive committee to have
charge of the biennial reunion to be
held in 1913.
While the attendance at the reunion
On Saturday did not set new record
the reunion was the most successful
ever held from the standpoint of visit
ing members of the association and
the Saturday afternoon program prov
ed the most interesting ever given by
the members Of the former classes.
Judge Joseph V. Quarles of Milwaukee
and Judge James P. Nixon, who were
to have been on the program and who
were members of the class Of 1861,
found it impossible at the last minute
to be present and with the exception
of these responses the program was
carried out.
Great interest centered in the read
ing OF the memorials by Mrs Saunders
and Mrs. Flora Parish Tobin and every
one of the old boys and girls who had
fallen by the waysids during the year
were mentioned and short sketches Of
their lives given. In presenting the
memorials of the class of 1861 Mrs
Sue Veazie Wakeman of Oak Park,
gave some very interesting historical
"reminiscences of Kenosha and early
school days and the paper by Mrs.
Rebecca Jones Apologize Of Gary, Ind,
which was short history of the class
of "1S61' proved to be one of the
best numbers on the program.
Ben Buckmaster, who responded for
the class of "1911' responded in a
very happy vein and the new class
had an orator who left very favor
able impression. Financially the re-
union this year was a great success
and the report Of the treasurer showed
that there will be a small deficit to be
made up, but this will undoubtedly be
taken care Of by members of the alum
nj so that the society will start the
next year with clean sheet.
Many of the former students who
came to Kenosha for the one day re-
union will remain for "a visit with
former friends and relatives in the
city and a dozen little social events
have been arranged i'll their honor.
The reunion will be continued at these
