Ball Speaks for Alumni Success was written all over the annual junior senior ban quet held Thursday evening at the Jefferson. Punch flowed freely and ci gars and cigarettes were passed around. When everyone was comfortably seated and clouds of smoke filled the air J. H. Martin rose to his feet and in behalf of his fellow juniors gave the sen iors a hearty welcome. "Bob" Harley, president of the senior class, responded to the address of welcome. J. M. Wells was the speaker from the juniorclass. He touch ed upon the war, naturally, as it is uppermost in our minds, and mentioned the lamentable fact that it was perhaps the last time many would meet on such an oc casion. "Jeff" Bates, spokes man of the senior class, made "Fellowship" the theme of his talk. As alumni speaker the commit tee was indeed fortunate in ob taining Mr. W. W. Ball, the ed itor of The State, "What is he going to speak about?" someone asked of I)r. Morse. Oh! he'll "reminisce" was the answer, accompanied by one of those sly winks, and he did, dwelling par ticularly upon friendsh;p, the pleasure and worth of college friends and what they mean to one in after Iife. Next we come to I)r. Morse, the faculty speaker. Must we repeat that old adage about the last no, perhaps not. hI would not he polite. We shall .Aimply say that he spoke delightfully upon what? Those of you who (lid'nt attend the banquet but have a class under him can guess, maybe. He expounded, elucidat ed and prognosticated upon the 1 present situation, war and the negro question. Preparation for approximately forty students was made and thirty-seven attended. The fol lowing menu was served: Soup Olives Celery Saltines Fish roi led chicken Vegetable Salad Ice cream Cake D)emit asse The committee for the arrange ment of the banquet conlsi:-tedl of ,J. M. Hagood, chairman, J. H. -Martin andI H. B. Refo. They deserve congratulations. Drm.
