FENNIMORE
Father and Son Banquet


The Father and Son banquet held at
$50 at Masos hall Thursday evening
was real event. Over $50 fathers and
sons and invited guests were present
for the affair About 60 ladies were in
charge of the fine supper and the serv-
ing and they surely did it up nicely
Four long tables were set and the en-
tire crowd was ser ed in the minimum
time. The high school orchestra fur
nished music during the banquet. Fol-
lowing the banquet, talks were given
by Carl P. Him on "Our Dads" by
Prof F. E. Drescher on Our Lads"
and other interesting talks were given
by Rev. r. F. Scnedtler, on the influ-
ence Of the home on the boy, and by
Mr.. Hoff of Waukesha, Frank Witch
er of Platteville and Hon. A. w. Kopp
of Platteville on Y. M. G. A. work.
The double quartet gave several fine
selections and the Montfort male
quartet also rendered a couple of
| good ones. The talks given were an
! inspiration to the crowd and will no
doubt bring about the purpose for
which the meeting was held-a better
relation and understanding between
father and son. A E. Keller acted as
POSTMASTER of the occasion and proved
to be a real master of ceremonies. 1t
was meeting thoroughly enjoyed by
all present and will no doubt become
an annual affair.
