54 THE CHIMES Athletic Banquet f HE twenty-ninth of April, 1902, marks an occasion that will long be remembered by the members of the Athletic Association. lt was on that night, at the close of a successful athletic season, that the Athletic Association thought to show its appreciation of the victorious basket ball team. Their appreciation took the form of a banquet given to the team, substitutes, and officers of the association. The President of the Athletic Association, who was chosen as toastmistress for the occasion, called on Miss Knott for an after-dinner speech, to which she responded with very encouraging words. After the hearty applause which Miss Knott's words evoked, different members of the team were called on. They responded with very humorous speeches. No member of the faculty was allowed to escape on this occasion, each expressed her pleasure at the team's success, and hoped that the victory which we were celebrating would not be the last. After the toasts school songs were sung, and everybody went away happy.
