» The Alumni The object of this Association is cultivation of social relations and the perpetuation of fellowship among the Alumni and former students, the advancement of the interests of the High School and the extension cf its influence. It has been through the efforts of this wide-awake, live organiza- tion that the Community High School has been made a reality and the opportunity for education in the High School of Alexis has been ex- tended through out 53 sections. None will take more interest this summer in seeing the erection of the new Community High School, nor more pleasure in knowing that the future students will be able to enjoy privileges which were denied the Alumni. The social relation of the Alumni organization is established by the Alumni Banquet which is held each year. After which a business meeting and election of officers is held. The officers which were elected for 1920 were: Secretary — Marguerite Mackin President Rose Edgar Vice President Bruce Purlee Advisor Mary Thompson — Frances Matson
