Prof. D. F. r. Rice Thoroughly In Ac-

and Pledges Assistance.

Wednesday evening at the Imperial
hotel thirty-two young people sat down
at the banquet of the alumni of the
Grangeville High School and while
several who are not alumni were pres
ent as guests, yet there was a splendid
showing of the alumni of the school,
twenty eight in all being present.
Don Fisher presided as toastmaster
and shortly after the banqueters at
down the the table he called upon Prof.
d. F. r. Rice to outline the best plans
for organizing an alumni association Of
the local school. Professor Rice briefly
replied and pointed out the desirability
Of having an alumni association in view
of the fact that there are in the neigh
borhood of about $50 graduates Of the
local high school and all very well es-
tablished so that concerted effort on
their part, directed by efficient and
active officers OF an association, would
result in great benefit to both the
members and to the local high school.
After the courses had been served
and the banqueters had been called to
order, Mr.. Fisher called upon several of
those present to make suggestions out
lining the requirements of the organi-
zation, and to give their opinion as to
the practicability of the organization.
Among these were Prof Rice, y. B.
Parsons, Keith Fem and Miss Olive
Coram, and all Indicated their hearty
accord with the plans and purposes Of
the meeting and their willingness to do
everything in their power to make the
association success.
Prof. Rice suggested that ban
quet be held every year so as to make
possible the getting together Of the
different alumni members of the high
school, and suggested that the best time
for this would be during the holidays
at which time great many Of the mem
bers would find it more convenient to
be present, especially those who have
located elsewhere vet still call Grange
vile their home and return for the
holiday season. He also suggested the
necessity Of appointing officers who
would take active interest in the af-
fairs of the association and keep in
touch with the different members.
The following officers were elected
to manage the affairs of the associa-
ton, and each one was elected by ac-
tlimation President, Don Fisher;
Vice President, Mary Long; Secretary,
Mary McEntee; Treasurer, Ed Coram.
Following the election of the officers it
was suggested that committee be APP
pointed by the new president to draft
a constitution and bylaws for the as
ISOLATION and DIR. Frank Wood, Miss
Olive Coram and Henry Munroe were
appointed. The committee will prepare
the constitution and by laws and Prof.
Rice promised to mimeograph copies
which are to be mailed to each member
Of the association.
