the greatest gathering ever held by the

Over ahundred members of the associa
tion were present and the meeting was
one of the memorable and noteworthy
ones in its history
The large auditorium of the new high
school building served the purpose of
the gathering magnificently Its decora
tive scheme was simple and rustic in
result the effect converging at the cen
ter of the room in a rustic well design
from which punch was served in granite
cups secured to the structure by bind
ing twine Wild grape vines were
utilized generously in drapery from the
electric lights at the corners of the
room to the well Palms rugs etc
gave an added touch of taste and com
fort
The Pythian orchestra occupied a
nook in the northwest corner of the
room from which they poured forth a
wealth of harmony during the evening
The banquet was provided by the
banquet committee of the alumni and
served quite cleverly by the girls of the
eleventh grade
