S. II. S. GRADUATES
GATHERED IN FORCE
For the Annual Banquet Last Evening
II. H. Jackson Acted as Toastmas-
ter, and Harold Burroughs
Was Elected President.

The 10th annual banquet OF the Spauld
ing alumni association was most success
fully observed in Rowland hall las
|evening when nearly 200 grads togeth
e. with friends and members OF the grad
ilating class, sat down to a delicious feast
prepared by the Barre Womans clul
and served by members of the same or
ganization in very satisfactory man
ner. 1t was without doubt one of the
largest banquets held in many years, in
spite of the fact that many of the old.
est members failed to respond to the
call and thus deprived themselves of an
enjoyable affair.
Previous to the banquet brief bus.
| mess session was held with the election
| OF officers. 1t is customary to transact
what business there is immediately after
the speech making, but the new idea
promises to gain favor. Harold Bur
roughs, as vice president, acted as chair
man and the following officers were unan-
imously elected to hold offices for the
ensuing year: President, Harold Bur
roughs, 90; vice president, Stella Brooks,
'06; treasurer, Milton Julian, '06; secre-
tary continuous Eva Annie Bisbee, '09.
1t was voted to give the customary prizes
to high school students as in years past
Before the classes had been placed in
their order and all had been seated 10
was close ON to Q O'Clock and the banquet
was served without further delay. And
needless to say, the menu gained favor
by its merits. All seemed to enter into
appreciation of the dainty viands and
partook quite freely The menu as served
was as follows: Grapefruit, iced olives,
gherkins, roast beef. mashed potatoes,
brown gravy, tomatoes, cucumbers, hot
rolls, fruit salad, sandwiches, lemon sher-
bet, assorted cake, coffee.
As master Of ceremonies, Henry H.
Jackson of the high school faculty was
quite equal to the occasion and with his
short but pointed contributions he proved
to be very entertaining toastmastes.
To James r. kenetick was given the
honor of welcoming the senior class into
the ranks of the association. He did so
in most pleasing way In response to
his welcome Frank A. Mcdonald. presi |
dent Of the class, in words which ex
pressed deepest loyalty assured the mem |
Ders OF the association of his classmates |
hearty desire to become worthy alumni. |
Mr. Jackson then called on Miss Hor-
tense and Harold Knight for violin |
lieut., which, to say the least, was great
y enjoyed.
In order to give the proper sdelights
IN the usefulness of athletics, John Ag. I
lew, coach OF the various teams for the
,ast two years. carefully defined the 4
merits which qualify good athlete and

Perhaps one OF the most interesting

aimed many useful hints in business life.
