M Supper Held In Some Years

conferences were held and wise coun-
sci prevailed and the sophs gave up.
Some wild stories were current of
men being tied in lumber yards and in
trees, but there was little foundation
for the rumors. There peace
throughout and no outburst of rough
ness or rowdyism occurred, which is a
credit to the sophs, who must have
been sorely tried and aggravated to
see the class of 1928 pulling off a
stunt that no freshmen had been able
to do before in four or five years.
The banquet was most successful
and enjoyable affair and an excellent
menu was served in the main dining
room at long tables.
Among the diners were twenty-five
girls, one of them being Miss Anna
Arnold, daughter of Fire Chief and
Mrs. C. D. Arnold of Putnam. The
committee who made the arrange
ments that proved so successful were;
Sickler, Flynn, Crofts, Ashman, Nc
Kee, KATE and Voorhees,
Following Lie supper eic hiSohii'Sh

rooms in Union block, and following
the dance President Voorhees, issued a
statement on behalf of the class ex-
pressing appreciation for the hospital
ity shown by the Eagles in permitting
the class to use the hall and billiard
parlor. In closing the statement reads
