The annual alumni dinner was held in the evening at the 
Hotel Marlborough, and there were quite a number of the 
alumni present, twelve classes being represented, members of 
the faculty, and a few friends of the students. Toastmaster 
Hoskins was extremely versatile in his subjects, fitting them 
nicely to the personality of the gentlemen called upon, and the 
responses were happy and appropriate. The class historian 
kept the company convulsed with amusing “ roasts ” of his 
fellow classmates, some of whom took occasion to “ roast ” the 
“ roaster ’.’ at the conclusion of his history. The banquet was 
over at half-past ten, and the party broke up amid cheers for 
their alma mater.
