A Surprise.

Another milestone was reached in
the life of Prof. John Won Prosky,
on May 18th and the occasion was
httingly celebrated by the members
of Won Proskys band, the Meade
Ladies Band and their friends. 1t
was the regular band practice night
for Won Prosky's band, and the
members had assembled and were
hard at work on their music as
though nothing was to happen which
would be out of the ordinary. A
bout o:So the members of the Meade
Ladies band appeared at the door of
the band room and stated that they
had been requested to play at the
A. o. U. w. Hall and asked that
the band boys excuse the Professor
for short time to which, with
knowing smile, the boys cheerfully
consented. The members of the
Meade Ladies band were closely
questioned by the Professor as to,
''where are your racks2" "Have
you your music2" "Who is going
to take Mrs. Won Prosky's place."
Mrs. Won Prosky was unable to be
present on account of sickness, to
which the ladies replied that all ar
rangements had been made. and
that they were wanted at once at
the hall. Prof. Won Prosky escorted
by the Ladies band and Won Pros
ky's band with wise look bringing
up the rear, proceeded to the hall to
comply with the request.
AS the party reached the head of
the stairs, all was shrouded In dark
ness and cries were heard, whats
the matter at the power house2"
"where is the switch2" "somebodV
turn on the lightsl" All this time
the mystery of why the Ladies band
were wanted at the A. o. u. hall to
Professor VonProsky grew deeper
and deeper. Suddenly the hall was
flooded with light and the victim Of
the surprise found himself surround
ed by the members of both bands
and immediate friends of both
organizations. The situation was
explained when some member asked
"did you ever have a birthday"
This question brought Prof. Won
Prosky to full realization that he
was really having birthday. An
other surprise followed, this one
being in the way of refreshments,
consisting of ice-cream and cake,
daintily served.
Prof. Won Prosky showed his APP
probation in few we'll chosen re-
marks, after which he was presented
with two beautiful boquets of cut
flowers. This ends the evenings
entertainment, and after wishing the
Professor many happy returns of the
day, the party dispersed, with but
one regret, that being that they were
not able to more forcibly show their
appreciation and esteem in which
the people of Meade hold such a
talented man as Professor John Won
ProskV
