Snatching our hats and coats we rushed out and raced the procession to the cemetery where we gave “Begs” a hearty send-off, Senator Freeman Elder telling some anecdotes which brought tears to the' eyes of many. The whole gang then adjourned to Cooper’s Undertaking Parlors, in Jim Main’s Car which reminded us of the good old days.

Mr. Eshenfelder’s speech was broadcasted in place of the usual bed-time story from station WHAM. The pleasant gathering broke up early the next morning. The agony quartet, composed of Greenblatt, Lubchansky, Bitgood. and Ames closed the session with the strains of that stirring melody “If you Haven’t had Your Breakfast, You’ll Want Your Dinner.
