 session adjourned for a banquet tendered by the local members at 

 the Y. W. C. A. rooms. 



BANQUET. 



For many years it has been customary for the members to break 

 bread together at least once during the annual session, and these 

 occasions help to knit closer our comradeship. The tables on this 

 occasion were made cheery with floral decorations, and a neat 

 menu, interspersed with appropriate and suggestive quotations, 

 gave piquancy to the nicely served viands. 



Dr. A. H. Thompson acted as toastmaster, and in the post-pran- 

 dial program gracefully introduced the speakers who had been 

 chosen to enliven the feast and enable members for the moment to 

 unbend from serious work. A poem by Mrs. Joseph Savage, one 

 of our earliest members, was read, and received with cordial ap- 

 plause. 



J. C. Cooper gave the address of welcome on behalf of the local 

 committee, and the following gentlemen responded to toasts with 

 great acceptance : F. O. Marvin, B. F. Eyer, J. E. Welin, L. E. 

 Sayre, J. I. McWharf, Warren Knaus, F. H. Snow, and B. B. Smyth.
