It's annual banquet in the Home
Economics apartments. About forty
| members and guests were present.
The tables were arranged in the form
OF the old Roman tables, scarlet and
SOLD being the prevailing colors and
tie nasturtIum being the principal
hower The menu was printed in La
TIN, which proved very interesting to
the guests. 1t was amusing to strug-
| gle over the translation and then dis
cover that the words stood for some
| article of food used now, instead of
the viands of Caesars day. The ban
quet was interspersed with a brief
reading by Miss Rowena Longmire
| one of, the honorary members. Her
subject was Some of the Characters
tics of Martial, the Great Epigram-
mat1st." 1t. served to introduce the
reading of epigrams by members of the
| club. Most of these were read from
English poetry, together with the
| original sources in Latin. The oc-
casion was a most delightful one to all
present. The banquet was prepared
! and served by Miss Harris and her
| classes in domestic science. Too much
| cannot be said in their praise, for the
nenu was both tempting and delici-
ous, ana was served beautifully.
The Classical Club is under the d.
rection of Dr. c. E. Boyd, professor
OF ancient languages. He works I'M
ceasingiy for its advancement and has
succeeded admirably. The club has
created greater interest in the classics.
II has made those studies seem human,
living forces, and it has been a means
or inspiration to all who have at
| tended the meetings.
