Summerfield-
Plans Are Complete
For Alumni Banquet

Summerfeld, May 22-With COM
mencement over and classes finished,
the graduates (past and present) of
Summerfeld high school are looking
forward to a gala time on Wednes-
day evening, May 90, when the
alumni will gather for their first
banquet and reunion since 1912.
This is always an outstanding
event and this year promises to be
one of the best.

Emily King, vice president; Florence
Smith, secretary, and Ruth Bates,
treasurer, together with their assist
ing committees, have been putting
much time and effort into their plans
for this affair. They have secured
for toastmaster, C.. Gayle Rodecker,
who has quite a reputation for wit
and oratory. An interesting pro-
gram is being prepared. 1t will con-
sist of musical selections, talks by
various alumni members, introduc-
tion of members of graduating
classes of 1943, 1914, 1945, and 1916,
and group singing.
Following the banquet and pro-
gram, dancing will be enjoyed. Ro
bert Corbin and his seven piece or
chestra from Barnesville will furnish
the music for the dancing, with Yer
non Moore in charge of the public
address system and the calling of
some square dances.

the Parents club which has been
sponsoring the hot lunch program
for the school. 1t will be under the
supervision of Verna Cutler, Emily
Havener, and Grace Taylor, with

by Edna Moore. An elaborate menu
is planned, including everything
from chicken to ice cream.
