school days of 20 years ago was |
spent at the Titan Metal's “Camp- |

committee, and all present seemed
to enjoy the entire evening of
events
The affair was started with a
very appetizing chicken and waffle
dinner served by the camp's able
staff. Immediately following the
dinner the program, with Luther
Kane acting as toastmaster, was put
Into action. First Mrs. Lenore Mar-
tine was talled upon to lead the
group in singing the “Alma Mater”
of the school in 1931.
Then an enjoyable time was had
by having introductions of all pres.
ent by the class members them-
selves, giving his or her name, ad-
dress, occupation, hobby, size of
family, and then introducing his or |
| her wife or husband Several letters
and cards from those unable to at.

In memory of the deceased mem-

a roll call was made and then a
period of silence was held In mem-

Several prizes, though small and
of insignificant value, yet providing
mirth for all, were awarded at this
time and were as follows: The one
