NEWBURY
Father and Son Banquet Brought Out
New Enthusiasm.

NCW
Il That father and son banquet given
last Friday night by the boy scouts
7 was credit not only to the boy
scouts but to the town of Newbury.
The banqueting hall was the Congre-
gational vestry. The tables were ar
ranged IN hollow square, decorated
with the American flag and loaded
with eatables which none but the cooks
OF Newbury know how TO furnish.
Seated at these tables were eighteen
sons and eighteen fathers, and the
guests Of honor were five boys from
| Dartmouth college. After the repast,
to which ample justice was given,
Frank r. Meserve took charge of the
postprandial exercises and, as toast
master, won by his ease, grace and wit
the admiration of all. He broke the
| ice and soon every man and boy were
| in the swim. Chauncey Depew could
have done no better The Dartmouth
| boys responded to his call and gave
glowing tributes to fathers who pay
/ the bills, the responsibilities they have
in rearing their sons, and the duties
the sons owe their fathers The sponta-
neity Of boy scouts Welch, South
worth, Mcneil, Olmstead and White
hill proved their ability as after din
ner speakers. as we'll as reflected great
credit on the school and opened the
eyes OF those present, taxpayers Of
Newbury, that they were getting value
received. This spontaneity was CON
tagious. Men spoke in that room whose
voices are seldom heard in public. Fa |
theirs reached the level of their sons,
which, perhaps, we can say without |
hurting anyone's feelings, was trife
higher than they ever got before, and |
went away with the feeling that in the
future they would get better acquaint
ed with them and have more things in !
common. Glowing tributes were given
Rev. Fl. S. Ives and Principal d. S.
Jones for their work, coupled with en-
ergy and zeal in shaping these young
minds, SO that they will develop bet
ter men, thereby making better New
bury for the future. No banquet can
be success without the feminine
hand and in order to ascertain the
power behind the throne we glanced
behind the scene, and discovered the
kitchen presided over by two bruncttes
and a blonde, and as these three be
long to the athletic class we only
stopped for q moment and deeply re-
yret that we did not have time TO get
heir names; but from this distance
We feel safe to say the boys present.
10Th old and young, thank them and
Seenly appreciate the interest they
manifested, to say nothing about the
lard work which they gave so freely

moment or two on these celestial :.
odies he was awakened from his Il
syeries by voice which al first q
