MANY A QUIP THERE WAS

GAYETY MARKED SIXTH ANNUAL VAN RENSSELAER CLUB BANQUET After a lapse of three long years the Van Rensselaer Club’s most pleasant institution was revived Monday night-when the sixth annual banquet was given in toe toitoig rooms of the Methodist church, with covers laid for seven-ty-four. It was a happy crowd that laughingly assembled > itself about the banquet table once more, nappy in the memory of passed banquets and pleased that such an enjoyable event had again been restored to the club’s yearly calendar of social events. The pleasantness of toe evening has been ineffaceaMy stamped on toe memory books of all, and it will be with keen pleasure that the banquets of coming years are looked forward to. - There was music, banqueting and toast making, there was gayety, frivolity, and many a merry quip interspersing the evening’s program, and the spirit of friendly repartee was rife. The room was saturated with the spirit of youth, and from toe first melodious strains of the orchestra’s music until the last devotee of the light fantastic had. tripped gaily across toe threshold of toe ball room and out into the starlit night toe evening was one of solid enjoyment. But, mind you, only diluted water held sway. At toe dose of the opening course of toe menu, President D. D. Dean gave a short address of welcome, introducing John A. Dunlap of toe local bar as toastmaster of the evening./ In presenting Mr. Dunlap, President Dean stated that it was his sincere belief that toe program committee had selected the best possible man for this position of honor. - Toastmaster Dunlap, after a few introductory remarks in which he pointed out the inconsistency of toe subjects upon which the speakers of toe evening were to talk, and of the mediocre talent that had been nlaced on the toast program, m-

troduced C. Arthur Tuteur, who readily admitted that Indianapolis was toe city of his adoption and that he was well pleased to see so many customers out. After ignoring his subject completely and rambling incoherently about for a .-few moments, he sat down, blushing at toe sympathetic and vociferous applause that followed in his wake. C. A. Ross, the next speaker on the program, who had been assigned toe title of “Anti-Bolsheyiki, delivered a splendid paper, .pointing out that although toe subject had been assigned him as one of humor that he could not treat it as such, and that the perils now, confronting the American public thtough this hideous f ornT of anarchy should be accepted more seriously by us all. The feature of the toast program was toe number delivered by Mrs. Howard Mills, who recited a poem of her own making, club members being woven such a clever manner toat the autoor was toe recipient ’«J. P l ™ from all quarters. Mrs. Mills had but a short time to prepare for her subject, and the manner in which she responded was remarkable. Moses Leopold had a simple subject on which to speak, Reincarnation and Annihilation, and when he had finished, the minds of all had been so clarified on these two subjects that toe auditors that there be no delay m placing him on toe program at once.for the year 1921. Mr. Leopold wandered so far away from his subjects that the toastmaster had to take him by the 'hand and lead him back to them. It seemed that he could find nq place to stop and the audi\«nce grbw weary of him and asked the toastmaster to place some one , else on the platform. Mr. Leopold s case was pathetic. Another toast or two completed toe program, and following the fina I course on toe menu, toe I ers repaired to the club quarters I where a “house warming and

dance followed. , The banquet was splendidly served by the ladies of the Methodist church and all in all it was a very enjoyable A colored orchestra of Indianapolis furnished the music, and proved to be wonderful entertainers who will no doubt appear here many times in the future. The • following is the toast program which was followed:
