NEWBURY
High School Alumni Banquet Was a
Marked Success.


The first alumni banquet of the New.
bury high school took place on Wednes-
day evening, June Is, there being lbs
present. The tables were spread in Chad
wick hall and arranged in the form of
hollow square, and the bill of fare
was only equalled by a spread at Del
monico's, New York City, Richard Oar
| ling as toastmaster. Professor jerks of
the University of Vermont was the
| speaker of the evening and spoke on
the Ideal Rural School" He was fol-
lowed by several of the alumni, who gave
"reminiscences of the days of yore. After
the speechmaking the tables were cleared
and the throng danced until the small
hours of the morning Sargent's orches-
ira of Plymouth furnished the music.
Much credit is given to those whose in
/ defatigable energy made this happy oc-
casion a success.
