ing Program.

Commercial class graduates of God
dard seminary, who represented every
class since 1910, were present at Alumni
hall atop the hill last evening for tht

catered for the banquet, the affair may
be set down as one of the big successes
of commencement week at Goddard. The
school colors and class banners bulked
large in an attractive decorative scheme,
the Goddard combination, red and white,
being particularly conspicuous, with 9TH
ers as follows 1914, purple and white !;
1918, green and gold; 1916 buff and
brown. The banquet was served at S
