ALUMNI BANQUET WELL ATTENDED FRIDAY NIGHT
The second annual banquet of the Association, composed of ex-graduates of
Minco high school, was held in the high school auditorium Friday evening, May
24th. Two hundred and three ex-graduates, their husbands and wives attended the
fete.
The class of 1930 was in charge of the decoration, and the school colors of
purple and gold were carried out in the table and stage decorations. Small boats
constructed of cardboard and covered with purple and gold bronze paper masts of
candles and class numerals on their prows formed the centerpiece of each table
from '17 to '34. The graduating class of this year had as its table decoration a
large boat of wire whose sides were covered by fresh pansies, carrying out the
color scheme. Two large gold candles with cellophane sails completed a most
realistic ship effect. Potted plants, ferns and bowls of seasonal blossoms were
tastefully arranged around the walls and stage of the banquet hall.
As the group came into the room, the effect of candlelight on silver and
linen gave a regal mellow beauty to the scene. The toastmaster, Supt. J.E. Peery,
immediately took charge and a most interesting program began.
The crew sang songs of the sea, a gob and gobette gave an excellent imitation
of Cab Calloway and a rag-doll dance; four lonesome tars rendered a chantey; an
old pirate (Fred Phelps) spun yarns of yesterday; two sailor's sweethearts sang
a duet; Roy Kunkle of the Shawnee high school music department, gave his
favorite song "The Barefoot Trail" a thrilling and beautiful
treatment. E.T. Foster of Oklahoma City, told of things that happened and things
to happen.
The chairman, Alex Woodworth, spoke at length and wound up the business
session of the gathering with the election of officers. Samuel McAdams was
elected Chairman for the ensuing year and Charles Stephenson continued his post
of secretary and treasurer.
The banquet was prepared, and served by the Presbyterian Ladies
Auxiliary, in four lovely courses. All in all, this was perhaps the most
thoroughly enjoyable and entertaining banquet ever held in the town of Minco. At
least to date, there has been no adverse comment, and the majority of-
those present report an especially interesting time. Those present were: Supt.
and Mrs. J.E. Peery, Mrs. Viola Roysden Class Ma '28; Frank Wall, Class Pa ‘25;
