The best banquet and alumni re union which has ever been given by the graduates of the Old Dillon high school and the Beaverhead county high school was held last Thursday evening at the New An drus hotel. Several years ago the alumni association of the Old Dil lon high school became affiliated with the newer alumni association of the Beaverhead county liiga school and there are men and wo men who belong to this institution dating as far back as 1892 and many of them were present at the banquet. The banquet tallies were arrang ed in the large dining room of the . cafe, and manager Lewis doCring- nis of that splendid new place, left nothing undone that would tend to make the affair a great success. It took three long tables to scat those present and eaeli was beautifully decorated with smilax and aspargus ferns, great bouquets of splendid carnations adding to the floral ef fect. At the head table a huge American eagle, hewn from crystal ice, and draped in the stars and stripes reposed. The place cards were pure white bristols embossed with American flags. A sumptuous banquet was faultlessly served and the very choice menu was: Canape a la Itusse Queen Olives Cream of Chicken Margot Roast Young Turkey Celery Dressing Apple Sauce Potato au Grautin O’Brien Asparagus with drawn Butter Fruit Salad Neopolitan Ice Cream Fancy Cake Coffee Hugh Anderson Presides Hugh Anderson, president of the Alumni association presided as the master of ceremonies. Mr. Ander son was introduced by Attorney George M. Melton, who stated that Mr. Anderson was one of the volun teers of the week and would leave Dillon Saturday for Camp Lewis.

B. E. Toan, principal of the school, made the best talk of the evening when he said that he had never been present at a more en thusiastic or impressive meeting any place. That the patriotism of the alumni association was a thing to he proud of and that our re sponse to our country’s call was manifest. He commended the boys who have gone forth and in clos ing paid the incoming class a glow ing tribute. The dedication of the service flag then took place and Mr. Anderson introduced some classmate of each man now in the service who after attaching their star to the flag told where he was and what lie was do ing. Twenty stars were pinned to the flag Major Craig Snyder, of the class of 1893, was the first to have a star attached, W. F. Cashmore stating’ that Major Snyder had been an army surgeon for years and had been in charge of a unit at Fort Mfc- Lellan for some time but it was thought he had now gone across. Millie Adams pinned the star for Henry Melton, 1905. Mr. Mel ton is now a second liuetenant sta tioned at Stillwater, Washington.

He stated that Gosman was at San An- q . tonio, Texas, with the medical de partment; one of the Carrolls was in training and the other was with the fighting forces in France. Ethridge Ward pinned the stars on the flag for Carl Ostrander and Walter Jones, 1913. He stated that Dr. Qstrander was in the service in Alaska and that Jones was with the engineers in France. Hugh Anderson attached the stars for Eber Badcon and Kinzie Collins, 1914. Badcon is in ttain ing at Camp Lewis and Collins is training at a camp in Texas. The class of 1915 has furnished the greatest number of men for the service and Cecil Featherly gave one of the best talks of the evening when he told of their whereabouts. He said that George Baker and Henry Wyatt were the first men to to enlist in eBaverhead county and that they were nowv in active ser vice in France. Eddie Nelson is in training at Camp Lewis; Lawrence Price is the only man with the navy from the alumni and Walter Stamm is at Newport News in the quartermaster department, man,1916,wasnowintraining hap C Helen Baker stated that Fred Chapman, 1910, was now in train ing in a southern camp and had as pirations to he an aviator. Josephine Jones attached the stars for J. E. Ross, Claudius Davis and Dewey Cashmore. Ross and Cashmore enlisted with the first men from Beaverhead county and are now in France while Davis is in training and is probably across the waters by this time. Sing AultI Lang Syne. A trio, composed of Mrs. F. D. Willis, Miss Jean Bishop and Miss Lily Hawkinson, closed the musi cal program. They sang Hail Col umbia and responded with an en core of Rally Round the Flag, the entire party joining in the chorus. Mrs. Willis then led the singing of Auld Lang Syne.

Prompt and Efficidht Service. a Montana and Sebree Sts. Phone 81 Dillon, Montana, U. S. A., April 25, 1918. Ho, you boys in the camp, on the sea, in the air, Your old high school alumni mates send greeting there. You, we have not forgotten; we know where you are, And for each, our old service flag carries a star. So down to our IJoverized banquet we sit And tell how our boys are making a hit. From the different classes our boys went to work. That word is the right one, for none of them shirk. The Old Diilon High's at the head, don’t you see? For Major Graig Snyder’s from Class Ninety-three. Among the Beaverhead’s classes, we find nineteen five, Lieutenant Hen. Melton shows it is alive. Another Melton— we all know Corporal Ray, Wo hear your great cannon from miles far away. And still other families sent forth their boys in pairs, In dividing up fame, they'll get their two shares. For there are the Carroll boys, Willie and John, (We miss your bright wit, ps-the eats are brought on). Now John is sojourning in Europe’s far clime, While Will’s signal practice takes up all his time. And as J. T. Ross chops down the timber in France, Brother Will in an airship is taking a chance. We find Corporal Badcon in American Lakt>, When it comes to real action, he sure takes the cake. Not only to war did he go with great cheer, But took him a bride in the very same year. In France, Walter Jones is driving a truck, With that boy at the wheel, it will never get stuck . George Gosman, Carl Ostrander, both in the medic, Will set broken hones or doctor a headache. Wo send you best wishes; we know you’re right there, Our sympathy’s for the poor “ rooks” in your care! Kins Collins has traveled ’way back to New York And now with the air-planes is doing good work. Oh, nineteen fifteen, we must hand you a plum, For from this lively class, five rookies have come. Hank Wyatt, George Baker, we first say you go Now to far away France, we send greeting, “ Hello!\ Their way to the front they quickly did forge, For Hank’s now a sergeant, a corporal is George. Our Alumni has given the Navy but one, Lawrence Price, on the big ships, is having his fun, Has received his promotions and journeyed afar, And sails o’er the foam like a jolly old tar. In Camp Lewis, Eddie Nelson but recently lit, We predict his good humor will make a big hit, For straight army service, Walt Stamm was too thin But with old Quartermaster he quickly jumped in. With grub close at hand, and plenty of drill, He’ll wave Dillon a greeting if e’er he sails by. Then, there’s good old Fritz Chapman, so happy and gay, To far South Carolina has wended his way, And soon in an airship, up in the blue sky, He’ll wave Dillan a greeting if e’er he sails by . Claudius Davis, so earnest and serious in school, Now gently persuades the wild government mule, To haul the great wagons around big Camp Meade, Good teamsters like Claudius fill a great need. Dewey Cashmore, but lately from Class of last year, Is over in France a dispensing good cheer, For Jie has a broad smile and blows well his horn, And keeps the whole company from getting forlorn. We think this is all that are actually in, Though others through trying have worn themselves thin. Shorty Morse and Pat Ward may yet make the grade, And in some kind of service give the country their aid. And even tonight we make one more adieu, To our President Anderson— you all know Hugh. For tomorrow he leaves for American Lake, And good-byes and good wishes from all he will take. Well, hoys, here we're hoping, we’ll see you 'ere long; That the Great God, so merciful, mighty and' strong Will guide you all safely to Life’s final goal, Saved unharmed in body and unstained in soul.
