ILLINOIS REUNION
70 Be MARCH 5

The annual business meeting OF
the Illinois Club which was held
Yesterday afternoon, was well at
tended in spite of the other attrac'
tions in the city.
The most important business
transaction was the election Of Of
ficers. Those chosen to direct the
affairs of the club for the ensuing
wear are: President, DR.. w. B..
Moon; vice president, Mr.. E. R.
schurmaR; secretary, Mrs. William
Steitz; treasurer Mr.. D. l.. Fidler.
DR.. Conibear, the retiring presi-
dent. was called upon for few re-
marks. and dwelt on the fact that
thn club as an organization was OF
much more value to the community
than the members as individuals.
He also urged the club not to be sat
isfed with merely planning but to
he persistent in carrying out their
plans.
According to the constitution the
final decision on the date and the
manner of the annual reunion are in
tho hands Of the executive board,
but the boar. asked the rel 5ers for
and the business meeting
wax adjourned and a social session
bnIJ in which the matter of the an
nuaI reunion was thoroughly dis
cu,sod II was the unanimous opin-
iop of those present that nothing
more enjoyable for the same expense
could be arranged than the usual
moonlight picnic in the park with
music and speeches.
The executive board then went
into session and soon announced
March ) as Illinois day for 1914.
Committees are now being arranged
and will soon be announced.
A number of new members were
added to the roll yesterday, and the
Indications are that the membership
will be considerably larger this year
than ever before. The secretary's
hook will be kept at the book store
where new members may enroll their
names and old members may renew
their membership. It is desired that
this be done at once SO that the COM
mittees may set to work at once,
The annual dues are only 20 cents
bnt this has always been found suf-
fcient for the expense of the re-
union.
