Junior-Senior Banquet Echoes.
We never knew before the banquet
we had two such perfect gentlemen"
in old B. H., S. Both Thomas Doyle
and Samuel Small appeared in full
dress suit, yes,' swallowtail and all,
dear freshest We would have had an
other also but owing to the fact that
Mr.. Brown ruined his dress suit trou-
sers at the Shriner's ball he was un-
able to appear in his.
A number of people were very dis
appointed Friday at the banquet when
the postmaster announced the piano
duet by Engleman and then after a
pause said it would be played by Miss
Bliss and Miss Hudson. They thought
Ed. Engemann was going to favor US
with a selection.
Earl Cowles, who would have been
a member of the present junior class
had he not been serving Uncle Sam,
was guest at the banquet.
1t was remarked that the dress
suits so much in evidence at the ban
quet were an exact fit except for the
coats and trousers.
