I The Memoir Il' 'QE Alumni Banquet, 1925 On Saturday evening, May 9, 1925, the members of the classes of '23, '24 and '25, assembled in the dining hall of the M. E. church for the second annual banquet. The tables were artistically trimmed with the school colors, Maroon and Black and white tea roses. Chester Anderson acted as toastmaster. The room was filled with laughter at his many jokes. ' Clinton Parr welcomed the new members by a short talk. Donald Bourne gave the response for the class of '25, A short program and a four course dinner followed. There were toasts given by Rev. Ellinwood, Glen Hovendon and Robert Lindberg. Merle Williams gave a baritone solo and Mr. and Mrs. Wood a duet. After the banquet, oflicers were elected for the coming year. The Lanes of Memory The lanes of memory bloom all the fiowers of yesteryear And looking back we smile to see life's bright roses reappear, The little sprigs of mignonette that smiled upon us as we passed, The pansy and the violet, too sweet, we thought those days, to last. The gentle mother by the door caresses still her lilac blooms, And as we wander back once more, we seem to smell the old perfumes, We seem to live again the joys that once were ours so long ago When we were little girls and boys, with all the charms we used to know. But living things grow old and fade, the dead in memory remain, In all their splendid youth arrayed, exempt from suffering and paing The little babe God called away, so many, many years ago, Is still a little babe today, and I am glad that this is so. Time has not changed the joys we knewg the summer rains and winter snows Have failed to harm the wond'rous hue of any dew-kissed by-gone roseg In memory 'tis still as fair as when we plucked it for our own, And we can see it blooming there, if anything, more lovely grown. And down the lanes of memory bloom all the joys of yesteryear, And God, has given you and me the power to make them reappear, For we can settle back at night and live again the joys we knew And taste once more the old delight of days when all our skies were blue.
