The Alumni BANQUET

The last Friday in June, which is
the time Of the annual banquet Of the
Arcadia High School Alumni Asoscia-
ton, was the occasion Of a very en-
joyable chicken barbecue at Bluff
Springs, when some fifty odd graduates
and members Of the faculty Of the
next years school session, met for the
purpose Of renewing "Auld Lang Syne"
and electing some new officers who are
to be responsible for the destinies Of
the Alumni Association for the CON-
ing year.
The occasion was delightful because
Of its informality and the congenial-
ity Of the crowd in attendance. Class
es Of the high school from as far back
as 1905 were represented and the last
two classes, those Of 1920 and 1921,
furnished liberal quota. The payil-
ion was decorated with the pennants
Of the various classes from the first,
1903, on down and with the accepted
flower Of the Alumni Association,
Black.Eyed Susan. japanese lanterns

and other soft lights gave a beautiful
lighting effect to the hall where a
brief but interesting program was
held.
The program also carried out the
informal nature Of the meeting. No
long set speeches occupied the hour
and a half Of the time allotted to the
toasting period, but the time was rath-
er given up to having every county
heard from in short and interesting
talks. Mr.. P. e. Brown, president of
the Alumni Council, acted as toast
master and caleld the meeting to order
after the first course, consisting of de-
lightfully barbecued chicken. After
that and after a good humOred speech
by Supt. E. H. Fisher, the crowd was
in a mood for anything and respond
ed very atttentively to the serious as
well as the humorous side Of the pro-
gram. Mr.. J. P Wagner appealed to
the loyalty Of the assembled alumni
in presenting to them the proposition
Of building another school building at
Arcadia for the purpose Of taking care
Of the Over-crowded conditions of the
local school. Miss Mamie Richardson.

who has been principal of the Castor
high school for the past year, present
ed the Alumni medal for best all
round high school pupil to Miss Esther
Belle Mosely who responded very
graciously. One of the original fea.
lures Of the program was the speech
of Wilson Williams, Jr., who repre-.
scented the second generation at the
meeting. Miss Inez Deas, in her papcr
showing what the various members of
the graduates Of the high school have
been doing, gave very enjoyable &C
count OF the experiences Of many since
graduation. One sad feature came into
the program and that was in the notice
or the fact that during the IS years
since the high school had turned ont
its first graduate, one member had
been lost by death. Mr.. Malcolm Cur
RE OF the class Of 1913, presented reso-
, lutlons OF respect on the death of Mrs
Gertrude Goodwin Lucky, of that class,
which were adopted. One other orig
lnal feature in the program was the
original poem Of "reminiscences, written
as a parody on the "Old Oaken Buck.
et," by Mrs. Lucille Sutton Vaughn.
After the members Of the last four
classes were formally initiated, the
election Of officers for the following
year resulted in the following being
chosen: Prof. W. NJ. Caskey, presi-
dent; Mrs. Ruth Capers Golf. vice.
president; Miss Martha Fisher, Sec
rotary; Miss Kathleen Harp, treas.
urer. The officers who are chosen
give promise Of putting a lot of en-
thuslasm into the work of the Alumni
Association for the coming year and
we are sure the Alumni will be heard
from on number Of occasions.
