Thirtieth Annual Reunion
This year's reunion demonstrated that the reorganized alumni association is successfully solving the problem of the popular reunions. The success of the last three years manifest a revival of interest, which is most gratifying and encouraging and which, it is to be hoped will prove stable. It is all attributable to the harmony in committees, brought about largely by the policy of rotation in office, which seems to have been happily adopted, and the cordial support of the alumni.
Occasion for special celebration was given by the fact that this year marked the fifteenth anniversary of the institution of the free public High School; also that Mr. Slafter was very soon to depart for the West, where he is to make his home, affording thus an opportunity to wish him Godspeed and accord him many expressions of the lore and esteem in which he is held by alumni and friends. It was the forty- ninth anniversary of his entrance as principal of the High School. He was the special guest of the evening and in the course of his address after the banquet delightfully eloquent and reminiscent.
Gen. Thomas Sherwin of the class of '51 before finishing his speech presented a crayon portrait of Mr. Slafter contributed by many of the older alumni of the school. Mr. Joyce fittingly accepted and responded to the presentation. Chas J. Capen, the guest of honor in 1900, was one of the four speakers.
The reception in the lower hall was followed by a banquet by Strachare at which one hundred and ninety eight sat down. At the business meeting the following officers for 1902 were elected.
President- Arthur M. Daniels
Vice President- Frank B. Young
Secretary- Arthur D. Monteith
Treasurer- Frank W. Kimball
~Directors~
Mrs. Florence R. Abbott '85
Miss. Alise M. Morse '92
Dr. E. H. Chute '89
Dr. Arthur M. Worthington '83
Geo Fred Williams '64
A quartette consisting of Miss Alise M. Morse, Miss Annie J., Mr. C. H. Chute, and Dr. E.H Chute added much to the exercises of the evening. The Jamaica Orchestra finished music. Dancing from ten till one o'clock brought to a close the reunion, which in some respects was the most successful ever, held.
Very Respectfully,
Frank B. young
