NO ALMUNI TICKET, NO DANCE, SAYS ASSOCIATION

■ For the past two or three years ■there has been a growing practice ■among the younger men of the town ■of purchasing tickets for the annual alumni dance which follows the banquet without first having purchased a tickets for the banquet, which practice must stop so says the officers of the alumni association. “It is an injustice to those who annually pay their dues and purchase banquet tickets and thereby aid }n keeping the association alive by their financial report,” was the way an officer of the ’association put it. “The older members have purchased banquet tickets freely to date, While the younger members have held back with the intention of attending the dance, but not the banquet. The older members are doing their part and should not be imposed upon at the dance by those who have failed to support the organization as it should be supported. Rather blunt way of putting it, but it’s the truth, and for this reason the association has decided that only those who have bought banquet tickets will be permitted to attend the dance.”
