Sea Serpent At Zukey Lake

ALUMNI BANQUET

Largest Gathering in History of the Association

MANY ALUMNI PRESNT

From Out of Town - Carl Braun Re-elected a Director - Loving References to Old Teachers

The High School Alumni Association held the largest and most brilliant banquet in the history of its organization, in High School hall Tuesday evening.

The chapel hall was gayly decorated with bunting in the colors of the school - crimson and maize. A large high school banner in the athletic colors, purple and white, was suspended from the south wall, while the platform was decorated in green and white.

Four long tables were spread in the centre of the floor and about one hundred and sixty guests were seated to enjoy a delicious menu.

Miss Alice Porter, president of the association, called the guests to order and after the divine blessing had been asked by Rev. L. P. Jocelyn, a short business session was held and the minutes of the last meeting were read and the report of the treasurer was also read, after which Mr. Carl Braun was re-elected to the Board of Directors.

In the absence of Judge McAlvay, who was expected to preside as toastmaster, Mr. O. C. Seeley, '75, of Detroit, was called upon to fill his place. He responded most pleasingly and made many a happy hit with his quiet humor.

Mrs. Jas. Kerr put the guests in a happy frome of mind by singing two beautiful selections, "Violets," and "Springtime." She was heartily encored and responded with another very pretty number.

Wm. Olcott, '79, of Duluth, Minn.. was called upon for a speech. Mr. Olcott was one of the early athletes of high school and college and he told in a particularly interesting manner of the athletic sports at that time. He was the means of starting the first gymnasium in connection with the school. It was situated on the third floor over a store down town. Mr. Olcott was at one time manager of the U. of M. base ball team.

He urged the students of this year's graduating class to secure a good preparatory course before taking up any of the technical courses and work in the world. A man can not cope in the business world with the practical man unless he has a practical education. He it is who reaches success.

Mrs. Covill, '82, of Lynne, Mass., was next called upon for a toast and she told in a most facetious manner of some of the adventures of her class.

Dr. Solomon Eisenstaet, '84, of Chicago, next made a pleasant little speech and congratulated the class of '03 in having so excellent a preparatory course as this high school gives.

Miss Effie Danforth, '93, who is teaching in the Ely School for girls, related some amusing incidents in class work when she was a student here and told of her work in the school where she now teaches.

Wm. Parry, president of the '03 class, made a brilliant speech and told of the class spirit which had been so prevalent in their class throughout its course.

Miss Lucy Chapin, corresponding secretary, was called upon and she told of the alumni who had sent greetings from every quarter of the globe. A letter from Dr. Brown, well remembered as "Happy Brown," was read.

It was a notable fact that as each response was made that reference was made in a loving and respectful way to Profs. Pattengill and Perry, who have such a warm corner in the heart of every alumnus.

The program was ended by Mrs. Kerr, who sang "Auld Lang Syne," the company all joining in the last verse. After the banquet was ended the tables wore cleared away and dancing was enjoyed. Root's orchestra furnished a program of music during the banquet and for the dancing.

An unusually large number of out-of-town alumni were present and everyone enjoyed renewing old friendships and relating anecdotes and escapades of their high school days.

SEA SERPENT AT ZUKEY LAKE

A sea serpent has arrived at Zukey lake, if the following dispatch to the Evening News is to be believed:

Lakeland, Mich., June 16. - The fame of Lakeland is established. The sea serpent has arrived. It has wings and "Devil's Basin," an adjunct of Zukey lake, the serpent has its home. The creature is about eight or eighteen feet in length, as the story goes from the lips of the two women and four men who saw it. It made a great splashing in the water - so great, in fact, that the party broke the rowing record in a futile endeavor to get into shallow water and ashore.

JUDGE JOHNSON'S APPOINTMENT

Judge Johnson has received a telegram stating that the report of his appointment as one of the justices of the supreme court of the Philippines had been confirmed. His commission has been mailed and will be received by him here within a few days.

Judge Johnson and family are here to attend the commencement exercises of the week. They will go east in about a week and will return to the Philippines by way of Europe, where they will travel extensively.

ALL WRONG.

The Mistake Is Made by Many Ann Arbor Citizens.

Don't mistake the cause of backache.

To be cured you must know the cause.

It is wrong to imagine relief is cure.

Backache is kidney ache.

You must cure the kidneys.

An Ann Arbor resident tells you now this can be done.

Mrs. Lawrence O'Toole, of 1825 Hill street, says: "The pains across my back were almost constant, and were so severe at times that I was often obliged to rest my back against the wall before I could straighten. I could hardly rest in any position, and was as tired in the morning as the night before. I could not stoop to pick anything off the ground, and was, generally speaking, used up. The kidney secretions deposited a heavy sediment and were too frequent, greatly disturbing my rest at night. I was bothered much with headaches and spells of dizziness, wore plasters until I was tired of them, and took a lot of medicine, but it did me no good. When I saw Doan's Kidney Pilis advertised I felt confident they would help me, and I got a box at Eberbach & Son's drug store. They did at once, and in a short time thoroughly cured me."
