Glass i Banquet An orgy of ticket selling and last minute preparation ushered in the first banquet ot the Class of ’45, held in the Monaco Room of the Hotel Lenox. For a few days pre- vious to May 10, the banquet date, it seemed doubtful that there would be any food at all. All apprehensions were dispelled, however, when the waiters brought in the main course, Lobster a la Newburg. After the one hundred guests had dis- posed of one hundred-twenty ice creams for dessert, our genial toastmaster, Lee J. Dunn, rose to introduce the speakers. The first was Mr. Pierce, who read let- ters from two boys in the Armed Forces, Class President Jim ' ' O ' Neil, and Bill” Shields. Both expressed deep sorrow at not being present, and their words reflected the thoughts of all the members of the class who are serving their nation in various parts of the earth. Mr. Levine then spoke of the intangible attractions which constantly turn a graduate ' s thoughts to his Alma Mater. He showed the importance of maintaining class unity in the years to come, and demonstrated that it is the duty of every member of the class to attend the banquets and reunions which serve to hold the group together. Acting through Secretary-Treasurer Mur- phy, the class then presented a gift to Mr. Fred P. H. Pike, retiring master, and Hon- orary Member of the Class of ’45. In a humorous, but sincere address, Mr. Pike ex- pressed his gratitude and avowed that he would rather be old than dead.” He has no intentions of remaining idle, however, and intends to follow the example of other masters who have retired in the past few years, and are still as young looking as the day they left B.L.S.” Thus the first of what will be a great many annual reunions came to a successful conclusion. Much of the credit belongs to the Banquet Committee, composed of Rob- ert Murphy, chairman, Matthew Branche, Francis Collins, Leo Foley, Gerald Kelley, John Kenny, James McMorrow, James O’Neil, Edward O’Neill, Arthur Quinn, Bertram Rodman, William Shields, Richard Sidman, Walter Spillane, and James Sulli- van.
