66 ECHO ALUMNI NOTES A meeting for the purpose of reorganizing the Roanoke High School Alumni Association was proposed by Raymond Herbst, one of the Alumni editors for the High School Echo The meeting was held at the Opera House, November 23, 1924, at 2 :30 P. M. It was called to order by Raymond Herbst, who acted at president pro-tem. The election of officers constituted the opening business. Raymond Herbst was elected President, Henry Sand, Vice President and Sam Zimmerman, Secre- tary-Treasurer. The term of office was fixed at one year, new officers to be elected every year. The further business resulted in the following resolutions: to give an Alumni banquet sometime during the Christmas holidays, to hold a bakery sale for the purpose of raising immediate funds, and to stage a play to help finance the cost of the banquet. Committees were appointed to take charge of carrying out these proposals. Alumni Bakery Sale The Alumni Bakery Sale was held Saturday, December 6, in the Zimmer7 man butcher shop. Cakes, pies, candy, etc. were donated by Alumni members. The sale proved financially successful. Alumni Banquet The Alumni Banquet was held Friday evening, December 26, 1924, at the High School Gymnasium. The place was tastefully decorated, with the tables set in the shape 'of a horseshoe. After the banquet, the following program was given, after which all gathered around the piano and sang the old school songs.
