After lapse of forty or fifty years
the pupils of Professors Edward F.
Hobart and J. S. Kimball assembled
in Baraboo for a season of reminis-
cense. A half century ago they were
the boys and girls of the Baraboo Col
legiate institute; now many of them
are gray haired grandfathers and
grandmothers, have passed through
the most active portions of their long
journey. and have arrived at the
period when the recalling of the early
events of life is a real pleasure. On
Tuesday all cares were cast aside and
for the day they were just boys and
girls again.
For a day or so visitors have been
arriving and there was much visiting
before the hour set for the banquet
In the evening all assembled at the
Warren, where there was a menu Of
June delicacies Following the repast
reception was held at the home of
Mrs. E. M. Hoag, there being some in
formal speaking. The reunion brought
together pupils who had not seen each
other for forty years or more
SON OF PROF. kIMBALL HERE
One of the pleasant features of the
occasion was the presence of F. w.
Kimball of Cleveland, Ohio, one of the
three sons of Professor KimbalI and
student of his father in the institute
His presence was a real human inter
est touch. He said that his father was
born away back in Vermont, June II,
1917, just 101 years ago. The great
ambition of his father was to obtain
an education and this was duly graft
fed when he graduated at Dartmouth
in the 40's, after many struggles. He
later went to St. Louis and still later
came to Baraboo. The son spoke most
feelingly of his fathers work and said
that he always had the welfare of his
pupils at heart.
Mrs. Belle Kimball Tollman read
some lines and Mrs. Samuel Briscoe
recalled other days, imploring those
present to be as young as ever. 0. D.
Brandenburg told Of the skepticism
evinced when Professor Kimball was
informed of the new idea of curving
base ball, the professor holding that
it was contrary to all the laws of pro-
jectiles. He was hard to convinced
that ball curved
Mrs George B. McGilvra, Mr.. McGil-
vra and others related incidents that
are now fading fast into the dim and
distant past. The hostess read letter
from Spencer Kimball of st. Paul, eX-
pressing the deep regret that he could
not be present.
Assisted by her daughter, Miss
Ethel, and others, Mrs. Hoag served
ice cream and cake to the company.
