peaker e Rook For Theme MAY 4, 1937. The programs and the toastmasters informed the gathering that the world is a small place today, as books are cheap and one can go adventuring in an easy chair any time. just as the students are bound together by school spirit, so is the world bound by literature. Three Flights Up may be the name of a book, but it served the purpose of a subject for William Woodyard's talk, in which he com- pared quite humorously the three periods of school life with stair- climbing. Miss Anna Hague, class sponsor, gave the formidable title, Seven Pillars of Wisdom , quite an interesting twist in her toast to the students. After a piano solo by Nadine Teaford, Lou Bina Stoner spoke on A Portrait of a Library. jokes are quite humorous in their place, and music is enjoyable, to say the least, but nothing proved quite so entertaining as when Sportsman Eddie Slaybaugh turned after-dinner speaker and warned his classmates against the various types of Beachcombers. Mr. Murphy, speaking on The Doctor, enlightened his proteges as to the reason he is called Doc . It seems that while coaching the Shamrocks in earlier days, circumstances often forced him to apply beefsteak to black eyes and liniment to mistreated muscles. Etta Kathryn McGauhey spoke on Mind Erosion and Corinne Hoecker on The Great Trek. It is to be noted that the speech subjects are all titles of books, thus developing the theme of Circling the Globe with Literature. Catherine Riesenmey, as toastmaster, fulfilled completely the re- sponsibilities of her position, as did Genevieve Aberle, chairman of the entire achievement. Musical interludes were furnished by a boys' quartet, a girls' double quartet and Lavinia Young, playing a marimba solo. If life were only a matter of silver slippers and lemon chiffon pie, all would be well and good, but there must come an end to all things, even banquets, and this one closed as the Crystal Room resounded to the refrain, Hail to Thee Our Dear Old Lafayette.
