SILVER AND BLUE 29 Alumni Banquet The Alumni Banquet is always one of the main features of Commence- ment. It was especially gool this year. A number oi the former students and graduates were back for the occasion. The Banquet took place in our magnificent new dining room at the Girls' School. Clarence Walker '14 made an excellent toastmaster. He introduced each speaker with some word of wit or humor which added much to the amusement of the eve- ning. The welcome address was delivered by Inez Wooten '21 and the response by Linton Deck of the class of '21, Will C-ox '18 represented his class and spoke with a great deal of en- thusiasm about our Loyalty to Berry. Mrs. Mary Ross Colquitt represented the class of '23, calling back to mind their sch-ool days and speaking of their desire to be help- ful in passing on to others their Berry training. The Atlanta Club was well represented, having an atten- dance of about forty members. The real spirit and ethusiasm began by the Atlanta Club giving a yell. Will Dobson and Eugene Gunby, from the Club, made interesting talks. A. J. Ammong '09 made a very appropriate speech and expressed his desire to form a stronger Berry Club in South Georgia. The graduating class of this year was represented by Evelyn Wyatt, and the college class of this year by J. D. Smith. The Alumni Quartet. Hawey Wells '20, Broadus Moak '21, Dewitt Littleton '23 and Arthur Beaird '27 rendered two good selections. The Girls' School Quar- tet sang Alma Mater Fare Thee Well, and Choir Quartet favored us with the Church in the Wildwoods. The last and best speaker on the program was Miss Berry, who made a beautiful talk of how love has made the Berry Schools possible, anl of how she expects the Alumni anal the students to always love the schools and help to Carry On. Everlsody sang the Loyalty Song for the closing number of the pro- gram. May we never be under the order of General Peace, General Plenty and General Prosperity. May we never have friends who, like shadows, keep close to us in the sunshine only to desert us on a cloudy day or in the night . Teacher: Now, children, a collision is two things coming together un- expectedly. Give me an example. Bright boy: Twins! lst Girl: If I could only get hold of Lindy I would make a hit with him by giving him the liveliest all-night party he ever went to. 2nd Girl: If it was me, I wouldn't try that. I'd keep everybody away and give him his wish to sleep for forty-eight hours.
