its excellent committees to whom
the various features were assigned
Especially to the Chairmen OF
Committees, who stood out pro-
minently, do we feel grateful for
their cooperation and energy as
we'll as their superior way Of doing
everything.

having charge Of the Banquet and
other features was the star Of the
occasion by reason Of the thorough,
elegant and systematic handling Of
every detail.

and hospitable men and women
who would do credit 20 any com
