The Belfast Chautauqua Alumni

The annual meeting of the G. L. S. c.
Alumni, an organization including all
Chautauquan graduates, who have COM
pleted four years course in reading and
study comprising history, literature, SCI
ence and art and who have received
diploma from the c. L. S. c. Insti-
tuition of Chautauqua, New York, was
held Thursday afternoon, October 9th, at
the home of the President, Miss Isabel
GInn. A large attendance of interested
Z. l.. 5. &. were present. At each an
nuai meeting some new graduates have
finished the Chautauqua course of study
and are entitled to membership. At this
date i've &. l.. S. c. students of the 1918
class "The Arthurians" had completed
the four years Chautauqua work, had
received the highest rank and seals with
their diplomas, and were admitted to
membership. The singing of G. L. S. c.
songs and responsive reading, then let
tiers from absent members were read by
the president and secretary. These men,
bers whose residences are now in other
cities and IN some instances in other
States remembered the occasion by the
written message of cheer and encourage
ment; two enclosing quotations express
sing their love for and interest in Belfast
Chautauqua Alumni, although several
years have passed since they were per-
mitted to meet with us. Business mat
ters received attention and the same offic-
ers were reelected for the coming year:
President, Miss Isabel CHM; Vice Presi-
dent, Mrs Evelyn Frost; Secretary and
Treasurer, Miss L. A. Cochran. Miss
Isabel CHM has most efficiently filled the
office of president seven years and c. l..
5. &. work can surely succeed under her
guidance for the next year. The social
hour followed. AS the alumni represents
Z. l.. S. c. graduates from c. L. S. c.
classes of the year 1883 to the year 1918,
these social reunions are much enjoyed.
Representative of the plymouth Rock"
class of 1888, Mrs, A L. McKeen and one
from the ''Argonaut" class of 1889, Mrs.
Sarah Lewis, added pleasure to this meet
ing. We hope they may be present at
many like gatherings. An invitation was
given to the dining room to partake of the
"Chautauqua Feast" where each guest
found dainty place card with her name,
and all were soon enjoying the feast of
delicious food so temptingly arranged.
The tables were decorated with bouquets
OF gladlolus, the class flower of the 1918
graduates. Mrs A. L. Mckeen as toast
mistress was responded to by several
members of the different Chautaulua
! classes. AS all pleasant occasions must
have an end so this, the eighteenth alum
nj meeting, has passed, but the memory
of it will often be recalled by Belfast
Chautauquans.

mand Big Sums.

timated at 100000 for the current
year and would make the total val

OF railroads, telephone and telegraph
lines, private cars and public utilities
