THE ALUMNI BANQUET
It was a banquet indeed! It all hap-
pened on a Thursday night, June 4th, in
the banquet hall of the Gunter Hotel.
They all gathered in the lobby. Who? St.
Marys Alumni. Why? Eor one grand old
time.
Good old Brother Anthony was at
his post again that night and once again
pulled the cord that set the same old bell
pealing forth a hearty welcome to all.
This was the signal for the snake dance
and dance they did. Through the lobby,
into the street, around the corner, back
again through the lobby and into the ban-
quet halj all the while singing that in-
spiring old song the “The St. Marys Col-
lege March.”
San Antonio knew, by the deafening
noise, that the old S. M. C. Grads had
gathered once again to pay homage to
their grand old Alma Mater.
The Hon. Nelson Lytle was toast-
master and did more than justice to the
office. Rev. Robert W. Mayl gave a talk
entitled “Our Alumni.” John C. Cain
spoke in behalf of Class ’25, St. Marys
Academy, while James Clifford did the
same for the High School graduates of
St. Marys College. The Rt. Rev. Bishop
Drossaerts in a short speech expressed his
happiness on seeing such spirit manifest-
ed. The subject of the speech by the Hon
Judge James R. Davis was “Reminiscen-
ces” and the Hon. William L. Ely, Chief
Justice of the Fourth Court of Civil Ap-
peals, delivered an eloquent address on
the “Value of Religious Training in
School. The speeches were all received
enthusiastic applause.
Entertainment was furnished by two
ebony tinted comedians and the famous
“Double Quartet” of the Alumni Associa-
tion.
The old Grads, now successful busi-
ness men, forgot themselves and were
boys once again. Incidents which had
long lain dormant in their memories were
recalled and continous laughter rever-
berated through the hall. A splendid
evening was enjoyed by all.
Altogether there were about three
hundred present.
Get the Spherometer. Smith can’t de-
cide which is the largest thing in the
Dormitory—
Sunday or one of the muskeeters.
Question: “What’s the penalty for run-
ning into the goal post with your head
and no helmet and breaking the post in
two ?
Answer: “If it is anybody else besides
“Skee” it is four yards under the ground.
Some Cities require five yards.
