A big feature of the holiday
program in Nezperce this year
was the Homecoming banquet
given by the seniors of the Nez-
lperce high school in honor of
their alumni. The event took
place last "wednesday night III
the dining room of the Nezperce
hotel.
At 8 80 diner was announced,
and the guests and seniors, who
had gathered in the hotel lobby,
were ushered to their places at
the banquet board. The tables
were effectively decorated with
blue and gold carnations and
Istreamers. After thanks had been
offered by A. A. Hunter the hap
Ipy party sat down to four
course feast that would have
done credit to Delmonico's.
Following the dinner, Maude
Jamison, mistress of ceremonies,
took charge, and extended q
hearty welcome to the alumni
body. She then called on Atty.
Chas. f. Nugent, who gave a very
interesting talk on "The Alumni
Association as Civic Asset !.

to see the organization of the AL
umni body. He pointed out many
of the ways in which such an or
ganization could help the high
school students toward better cit
izenship.
Earl Stellmon, representing the
alumni, was then called on for a
short talk. The formation of an
alumni association was also his
theme, and he gave several ex-
amples where such an organiza-

the high school and its graduates.
John Flatt, a senior, was then
called on; he, again, welcoming
the alumni and expressing his
qualification at having so many
graduates present at the banquet.

mont schools, was then intro-
duced by Miss Jamison. Prof.

Scotch dialect which were well
received by the gathering. Mrs.
Sitter acted as accompanist OIL
the piano.
Following this part of the en-
tertainment the party adjourned
to the lobby while the tables were
removed from the dini.tg room,
and dancing concluded she eT-

short business meeting to effect
an organization. Officers elect
ed were: president, Robert

Rowe; secretary-treasurer, Jose
phine Thomas. The president
then appointed constitution

being Alvin Caldwell, John Con-

Maude Jamison, Elma Cook, FaG.I
ME Farrar, and Ebert Stellmon.
Nezperce Loses to Winchester.
The Nezperce town team lost
their first game Of the season last
night when the Win
chester lumberjacks took her
down to the tune Of 27 to 19. It'll
being their first game, the local
boys lacked teamwork and wind
and although they put up hard
fight they could not stop the
plays of the jacks.
The game, as a whole, was
clean and fast; good sportsman-
ship being displayed on either
side in every instance. Winches-
ter will come over here the 18th
of January and good game will
