of having 1 been the first of the professors to take any inter
est in the undertaking. That he still maintains this interest
is shown by the fact that he and Mrs. Taliaferro have
recently presented to the band a beautiful baton, made of
ebony, with ivory tips, and inlaid with pearl.
The Free Lance joins with the College and the Band in
thanking Dr. and Mrs. Taliaferro for their handsome present
and in wishing them abundant success in their new field
of work.
The class of ’O3 has had many happy gatherings in the
past and expects to have many more ere we bid farewell to
State and go out to our life work. That the banquet at
Williamsport, November 15th. was one of the happiest of our
class gatherings is the unanimous opinion of all who parti
cipated in it. For this success great credit is due the com
mittee; Messrs. Sharpe, Deike and C. W. Rogers.
The banquet began at 11:30 P. M. and we were served
with an abundance of good things. After doing justice to
the menu furnished by the genial proprietor of the Hotel
Crawford, we turned our attention to that part of the
banquet which was to follow.
Toastmaster Tuholski led in a few well chosen words
and then Zern responded in his usual happy vein to the
toast •‘Athletics.” Rohrbach did “ The Faculty” to a turn.
Judging from Kinsloe’s earnest words as he responded to the
toast, ’‘The Ladies,” one might think he has a serious case
of “heart disease.” Taking the toast “We, Carnegie’s
Rivals,” Wert showed his efforts to be along the same lines
that Carnegie works—library building. “Reminiscences”
were given by W. H. Landis and we seemed to be living
over again the pleasant events of our first years in college.
In all forty-nine were present, each one glad to be in
The Junior Banquet.
