Inc Alumni Association or Clio High
School met and held its eighteenth an
nual banquet at the Grange Hall on Fri
day evening, June 10, 1914.
Fifty-four members of the Associa-

some members who have not been able
to attend for several years. Mrs. Tom
Flynn Zulu Cassidy, '95) Mrs. VIM.
Holship Georgia Fay '96) and Miss
Marion Daniels. '98, were among those

The first class to graduate. that of
81, was well represented, having two
OF its four members present. The class
having the largest percentage of at
tendance was that of 1910. This class
led with 95 per cent attendance, while
the classes of 81, or, and 'OS followed
with so per cent.
The hall was very prettily decorated
for the occasion, being trimmed in GRIM
son and gold, the High School colors.
On the walls were hung pennants from
many of the leading colleges, wherever
Clio High School has been represented.
A fine program was given, many of
the older members saying the best in
the history of the Association. A
march was played by Miss Mabel Good
fellow, 'O9, while the Association took
their places at the table. Rev. C. w.
Greene, of the M. P. Church gave the
invocation.
The menu for the banquet was fur
nished by the ladies of the M p. Church,
and it certainly did them credit. The
class of IA spoke truly in saying it was
feast fit for the Gods. Everybody
did it justice.
Ina Butler, of the class of 'lS, and
president of the Association, welcomed
the class of Ia to our numbers, to
which welcome Lyle Brown, the presi-
dent of the class of ID, gave court
eous response.
Bernice Sanford, 'l3, gave solo at
this time. which received hearty ap-
plause and she responded to the encore,
Miss Butler introduced Supt. j. G.
Chapel, who acted as toastmaster for
the occasion. Mr.. Chapel is especially
fine along this line, and told many inter-
esting stories regarding different mem-
bers of the Association.
Vernon Swihart, IL, responded to
the toast In the Eyes of the World"
Vernon handled this toast in very
businesslike way, giving good advice to
the class of ID, along many lines.
Murray Felt, IL, talked on alfalfa
Root VS.. Cube Root" after which Lyle
Brown rendered very pleasing solo.
i Rev. c. w. Greene gave brief but
very interesting toast "The Value of
Christian Education"
Lily Farnsworth, '0S, responded to
the toast"Our Yesterdays"
Bernice Tinker, 'O7. held the audience
in spell-bound attention by the toast
"Our Friends" Miss Tinker handled
this snbject very gracefully, and GER
tainly makes up in quality what the
class of '07 lacked in quantity.
j A piano duet was given by Flora
Haven, 81 and Verna Lembach, 10.
Guy Selby responded to the toast
"The Future of the Alumni" Mr..
Selby was at one time the superinten-
dent of Clio High School. He and the
POSTMASTER We'd with each other to see
which had heaped the most honors upon
G. H. S.
1t was not until we came to the busi-
ness session, and endeavored to elect a
president for 1915, that we learned that
, all the class of 1914 intend to leave
Clio Immediately. The following Off
GERS were chosen for the next year:
|, President. Verna Lembach; Treasurer,
Will Haven; Secretary, Ora Selby.
Following the business session the
Association arose and sang "Auld Lang
Syne," after which Rev E. C. C. Ben
son pronounced the benediction, and
everyone went home to await the re
union Of 1915. ~
