BANQUET TO THE SENIORS

As each years rolls around and each
succeeding graduating class prepares
for commencement, their sister classes
vie with one another in their enter
tainments to the departing class. This
season first came the Silver Springs
picnic rendered the seniors by the
sophomores, then the lawn fete given
by the freshmen and last but not least
the seniors were entertained by the
juniors last night at a banquet at
Davidson's restaurant.
The table at which the guests were
seated was long and narrow, and the
decorations which were very pretty
carried out the school colors and flow
ers and the place cards and programs
were also in these colors. These were
unusually clever and brought forth
many remarks and exclamations of
appreciation.
California daisies were the flowers
used. These were on the table in bas-
kets,, there being thirty of them.
The candles were covered with green
and gold shades and the individual
favors were also in green and gold,
the fluffy edges of which made them
look like big daisies. The place cards
were hand-painted miniature sign
boards with the names of the guests,
and at one side of each darling little
elf peeped around the corner.
The program of the evening was
gotten up as book in the school col
ors. Special mention of the original
ity and completeness of this program
should be noted. They were the work
of one of the high school pupils. DIR.
Frank Cranes "House of Life" was
used as the basis, the four years of
TIE high school term being compared
tc the four stories of the "House of
Life"-the seniors the fourth and
highest, the juniors third, the sopho-
mores second, and the freshmen to
the cellar and the specials to the wood
shed. The faculty were the bookkeep-
ers and the superintendent of public
instruction was the landlord. This
clever idea was carried out through
the program, the heading to one of
the toasts being "a Toast to the Third
| Floor Back" Besides the regular
program there were several impromp-
tu speeches which were enjoyed very
much.
James Knight acted as toastmaster
| of the evening and the banquet was
formally opened by his welcome to the
seniors and their response, given by
Bob Buhrman; to the seniors by Mar.
garet Hooker and a response by Jacl
Williams; toast to the faculty BY
! Cornelia Dozier and response by
Wayne Haisley. There was also 6
toast from the sophomores by Marior
Lummus and one from the freshmen
by Norris Stephens. James Fielding
and Mr.. Fl. G. Shealy also gave shor
addresses, and the boys quartet CAV,
lseveral selections which were hearth!
, Iapplauded.
i One of the clever hits of the eve
, ming was the toast given to the jun
, iors by the senior class, this being
given in song. This concluded th'
regular program and those presen
were loud in their praises to the jun
iors as royal entertainers. At tn
| banquet consisting of four courses
, there were about seventy-five present
including the seniors. juniors, facult!
and presidents of the other classes.

1t was the privilege of this admin

On October 18th, the club opened it's
season by reception to the public
school teachers. A most delightful
program in the form of pageant was
given.
The chief aim of the club this year
has been to foster a community spirit
of cooperation. During November we
were given two opportunities to join
with other organizations in civic work.
At the Marion County Fair, the hos
pitality committee of the club main
tanned a rest room for ladies and a
nursery for babies. This was greatly
appreciated by out of town visitors to
the fair. The Marion County Board of
Trade extended an invitation to the
Jacksonville postal card visitors to
visit Ocaal and on the occasion OF
their visit the club was most active in
entertaining these visitors and in CO.
operating with other civic bodies in
their programs.

Prisoners Who Receive Aims.

Whatever may be the fate of poIiti cal prisoners in Portugal. ordinary of. lenders have a pretty easy time of it The windows of the lowest tiers of prison cells are often quite close to the ground, and they are frequently situated near some public highway. Prisoners are permitted to ask aims of passers by. Where the windows of the cells are high above the ground the occupants let down bags or small tins by means of long pieces of string or cord, and there is one prison in OpOrtO. close to church, where such a receptacle is continually dangling before the eyes of folks going tu and from the church.

They went to England, Germany, Switzerland and other parts of Europe. One band emi. grated from France to America, set tling at Port Royal, s. C., in 1870.
