favored us with beautiful day
and as a result a large crowd was
there. The decorative scheme was
carried out in blue and gold-the
class colors-having a canopy of blue

dressed in costumes, carrying out
the color scheme effectively The
menu cards were artistically arrang-

inadequate for the number and size
of our roasts and at the last mo-
