TUESDAY EVENING
Passes Resolution Recommending
Better School Facilities For
City. Dinner Enjoyed
By Milton McLain

On last Tuesday, June 18th, the
1921 Senior Class of the Marietta
High School held its first reunion at
the Golf Club. This is the first time
ANYTHING of this kind has been at
tempted in this city, and it is a cred
it to the class of '21, that it is a pio-
neer in this line-and that the idea
was carried out so successfully.
After everybody had shaken hands
with everybody else, and had talk
ed of old times few minutes, the
class was called to partake of ban
quet, the like of which is seldom
seen. AS soon as the class was seat
ed the roll was called by Miss Hunt
to bring back the old time spirit, and
it's was found that out of twenty
nine in the class there were only four
absent from this class reunion. The
club and table were beautifully deco
rated with the class colors of pink
and white, which were most effect
lively carried out.
For favors everyone had some
thing with which to make a noise,
and for few minutes the din was so
terrific that it almost made the
house tremble, for everyone was try
ing to make louder noise than his
neighbor. But soon all was quiet
and if one looked around for the
rSson for this silence, it was not
hard to find for everybody was busy
with the delicious courses that were
being served.
For while we were permitted to
eat in silence, then our illustrious
president, Emmie Montgomery, de-
livered splendid welcome address,
voicing the sentiment of all her class
mates, when she told how happy she
was to be present. Next, James Pet
ty explained to the class it's future
plans, of which the most important
was to make this reunion an annual
event.
Of course, if the class was to con-
tinue to function as a class it must
have officers, so slips were passed
around and everybody voted for
whom they pleased While these
slips were being taken up and count
ed, Miriam DuPre rendered a few
selection on her guitar, which were
very greatly enjoyed. The slips be-
ing counted, it was found that En-
ME Montgomery who made such an
able president in the past, was re-
elected to that Office and James Pet
ty, who woked so hard for the sue
cess of this reunion, was elected
vlce-president. Milton McLain was
elected secretary and treasurer
Next came toast to NJ. H. S. and
well did it desrev one, for of all the
schools, this one stands first in the
hearts of all the class Of '21. Then
came parody on the poem II re-
member" by Adele Moss, and it was
reminiscent of school days, old seem
es, and familiar sayings of the class
former instructors.
Next Elizabeth Stephens gave a
toast to the faculty, a worthy toast
TO a most deserving subject. After
EIlzabeth's toast the class was treat
ed by short impromptu speeches from
MISS Hunt, DR.. Dumas, Mr.. Keith,
and Miss Rambo. All expressed their
pleasure at being able to be present
at the reunion. Mr.. Dumas touched
on the need of a new high school
building, and Mr. Keith stressed the
need of an alumni association.
Next after the weighty talks by
the teachers and superintendent the
class was given a somewhat lighter
talk by James T. Anderson on the
Thrill that comes once in a lifetime"
which was enjoyed by all, being both
witty and humorous.
Next different members of the
class revived its memories of the oc-
curences in the different years of the
classes eventful high school career.
me freshman year was very enter
talnngly reviewed by Evelyn Che
hey' The Sophomore year memories
were brought back to the class very
VlVldly by Weldon Underwood. The
past Of the Junior class was very
iIofcefully brought before the class
by Lee Sessions. While the Senior
year wa smost interestingly review
ed by Ethel Counts.
The reading Of the place cards,
from which much enjoyment was de-
rived, came next After which Nan
ME Connor very concisely and GOWN
clngly gave the class her idea Of true
love.
OF course, everybody was interest
ed IN what everybody else had been
doing since graduation, so the class
was divied into three groups-the
BUNS, the College set, and the Bum
meerettes, feminine for bums). The
activities of the Buns were recount
ed with much original humor by
Louis Hibble. The sphere Of the
College Set was told by Guy Camp
oell, while the Bummerettes were
accounted for by Ruth Galley.
Just then James Petty read the
class the following resolution:
