One of the most iuterestin;; and delightful functions of the Commencement Season is the Annaal Banquet and Reunion of the Alumni Association of the UighScbool; This yeur, the Officers and Members of the Reception Committee of this Assoeiation, are making unusual efforts to render the occasion a memorable one for every gradúate and friend who will accept the cordial invitation to be present. The Reception will be held on the evening of June 25 th, begining at eight o'clock, and will be followed by a Banquet at nine o'clock, tobe held in the High School Hall. Tliat distinguished gentleman, scholar and publicist, Hon. W. W. Wedemeyer, will throw ofFthe arduous duties of public trust as R. R. Commissioner and preside in his usual happy manner over the festivities of the occasion. Prominent among the graceful afterdinner speakers, who will mingle the honey of their speeches with the strawberries and ices of the festalboard may be mentioned, the Hon. R. C. Campbell of the class of '90, the Rev. J. M. Gelston of the ancient and honorable class of '65, Mr. James (our own Jim) Handy of '91, Mr. Bennet Gammon of '89 and Hon. Hughes, State Senator, of Lansing. It is confidently expected that hundreds of the youngsters, who have during all ages and epochs of the world's history trembled before the gaze of Ferry and Pattengill, will on this occasion return to their Alma Mater and try the soothing effects of loving words and appreciative deeds upon these stern pedagogues. Preparations have been made to entertain and satisfy the longings of all, and it is not apprehended that a single alumnus or alumme, residing in this city, will perrnit his chair to remain vacant on this joyous occasion. Tickets to admit to the entertainment are but fifty cents, and the alumni will appreciate the fact that the sole object of charging anything whatever ismerely to pass away the time. The following Ladies and Gentlemen compose the Reception Committee : William W. Wedemeyer, 1890, President of the Alumni Association. Mrs. Lulu Goodrich Downs, 1873, Vice-PresIdent, MissLucy E.
