Alumni Banquet
One of the most pleasant events OF
every commencement is the alumni
banquet, when the "Old Grads" get
together for an informal good time.
This years banquet was especially en-
ioyable and was attended by the larg-
est gathering in the history of the as
sociation, POP sitting down to the
tables. 1t was served in the armory,
which was prettily decorated with the
college colors and with potted plants
and flowers. The tables were also
tastily decorated and the entire SER
vice could hardly have been excelled,
and the Catholic ladies who had it in
charge are to be congratulated. The
menu:
strawberry Cocktail
Potatoes Lamb Roast
Lima Beans
Radishes Mint Ice
Olives Rolls
Tomato Salad
Banana Ice Cream Cake
Coffee
Nuts MINIS
After the menu had been disposed of
a splendid program of toasts was given
with President Miller of the Alumni
Association in charge as POSTMASTER.
Toasts were responded to by Governor
Byrne, Regent T. w. Dwight, Prof. j.
H. Shepard, Mrs. Burnett, a former
member of the faculty, VIM. T. Edger-
ton of the class of '93, Everett Dunn of
this years class, and President R. L..
Slagle. All of the toasts were in a
happy vein, reminiscent of past days
and optimistic for the future Of the
institution.
Garden Party
The eventful week was fittingly
closed last evening with a garden
party and ball. An almost ideal June
evening made the occasion a great
success and an immense throng was
present. The principal feature was
the lighting of all the buildings on the
campus with candles. In each window
there were four candles, there being
no other lights and the effect from the
campus was novel and beautiful.
Along the walks and under the trees
Japanese lanterns were strung, add.
ing greatly to the beauty of the scene.
The crowd was a merry one, pass
ing the evening in visiting, parading
to the music of the band, giving their
class yells and generally enjoying
themselves. Following the festivities
on the campus a dance was held in
the gymnasium, where the good time
continued until a late hour.
Week a Success
The week as a whole was a grand
success and each Of the visitors de
clared emphatically more than once
that they had the best time of their
life. The local alumni, particularly
Profs. Miller and Mathews are certain
ly deserving of much praise for the
admirable way in which everything
was handled. The event will be OF
great future benefit to the institution
as it will bind more closely the ole
students to their Alma Maer, and a
loyal alumni is one of the greatest
assets any college can have.
Notes Of the Week.
Plans were talked over among the
graduates and old students for a re
union day at the San Francisco ex
position in 1915. This suggestion came
from the alumni on the Pacific Coast
most OF whom we're unable to be here
and a day and maybe q week will b.
selected and a place OF meeting or
the exposition grounds arranged for
| Then old students on the coast visit
