we all accord the boys on their re-

Rev. j. V. Roberts, in very able
address, extended to the boys most
hearty and cordial welcome. A reS

Edgar Estes, in which he held the
audience in attention profound as
he very ably and entertainingly re-
cited incidents of life in active SER
vice. and passing. eulogy OF a
high order upon our noble and fear
less President, Woodrow Wilson,
saying, "He is the greatest leader
the world ever had.'
Intermingled with these addresses
were vocal and instrumental render
ings to the delight of the immense
audience which filled the hall to its
capacity. Following these exercises
was a repast OF ice cream and cake,
with coffee as chaser. All are
agreed that it was one of the bset
