ALUMNI BANQUET AT THE TAVERN — The seventeenth annual banquet cf the Syracuse Alumni Asi sociation held at the Tavern. I Saturday evening, April 23, cam»? I off with great inward comfort (and outward pleasure for the 105 members of th? Association, new and old. and their guests. Lhe crowd began to arrive at the Tavern at 6:30 and kept on coming until after 7.30 -each alumni was tagged with his or her nanr? and the date of his class and all were asked to legister. At eight o’clock, w’ith Mrs. Wade Zerbe at the piano, led by the Senior Class and the teachers, all marched into the dining room nd were seated at three long tables. The attractive dining room of the Tavern w'as very prettily decorated with crepe papers cf blue and gold, the high school colors. The four course dinner was —well —it is sufficient to sav everyone ate until it hurt. When the tables were cieared Hazel’Miller. (1925). president of the Association, made a speech of welcome to the old members and their guests and to the new members, the class of 1927. She j especially njentioned that two of this class. Charles Wilcox and Eleanor Kline were Alumni babies -that is. their mothers were, Alumni before them. Arthur Morris, president of the class of 1927, responded with I a short speech of thanks and ap- I preciatjon for himself and in be-1 half of his class. Christine Gar-, riott then called th-’ roll, after which the chairs and tables were pushed back to make room for an inpromptu stage. The entertainment was novel as was promised.

Co-Operative Effort a Way to Community Betterment

This community represents < much to all of us. It is home; ’ it is where our families are rear- c ed; i 4 is the center of*our joys] ( and sorrows; it is w-here our property interests lie. The better , the community the better it is for Ifeach individual member of the community. A greater degree of prosperity for the community as a whole means a greater degree of prosperity for each individual. Making a better community, a more prosperous community, is the work of individuals, but of individuals working together along comprehensive and progressive lines. As a community we get nowhere when each one travels his own path, each leading in a different direction, and each striving for a different gbal. We have collective interests and to accomplish anything must work collectively—each for all. When we think of ourselves as a community circle, in which each mdmber of the community has a place, we can visualize the benefits of co-operative action . passing from one to another ; around this circle. When by ; such co-operative action we inl crease the prosperity, the wealth of the community, we have in-

creased the prosperity, the wealth of each member of the circle. A better town means a better market place for the farmers who are a part of the community and ? better market place means better farm values. A better town means better property values and this, without increasing, but in reality decreasing, the burden of local taxation, means better schools for our children, better streets, mote attractive living conditions for all of us. Communities in which the individual members are not working together ane dying out because of a lack of co-operative effort. With each backward step there comes a decrease in property values, a decrease in the number of opportunities for the

individual in the home town. 1 This community cannot afford to < be numbered among those that are going backward. We must, and will, keep in the forefront of those that are going forward. < WV can do this by working together for the interest of all. This working together means that our merchants must do all that is possible to supply our needs for merchandise at equitable prices. It means that they must afford our farnfers a mar- ’ 1* i - »

COUNTY FEDERATION w OF WOMEN'S CLUBS The convention of the KosciusIko County Federation of Wo- 1 i men’s Chibs was held in the Presbyterian church in Warsaw all day Tuesday.

But for the merchants to do these things means that we must give our merchants the opportunity to supply our needs. They cannot carry adequate stocks of merchandise if we do not offer them patronage for such stocks. We must realize that the prosperity ( of our merchants but adds to the community as a whole, an in- ! creased prosperity for each of us as individuals. Our bank, business and proses- . sional people are here to render . service to each of us as individ- ; uals. Our interests are neces- > sarily their interests, and their . interests are our interests. We ; grow and prosper only as they » grow and prosper. We are all a

part of the community circle, each unit of which is dependent upon each other unit. Let us make our community a better place in which to live by cooperative effort.

THINGS TO THINK ABOUT I ■ . [Review of Things by the Editor As He Sees Them on the Surface. The Man Above the Dollar Man. like all other animals., gets no knowledge from within himself. What he has must come from the outside. Everything around you is forever. apparently, and you are the shuttlecock for nature’s gajae but for a day. You speculate on the unknow n and use as a stake that which you *■“ do not know. Your attempt to reach out into the infinite will not bring you u nsure but praise, for the world is always in sympathy with you in such an undertaking. It may complain against you for uniqueness but it -will love you in the end according to your bravery. That which you attain, remember, is your infinitude of things, not mine nor an.V imans. Your universe will only be a little larger you are. The banner of the man abJve the dolfe(r has bven lore the breezes lunge issued to the power on earth to tear it down. This flambeau has been seen even in the great houses of the rich. We are demanding that our present regime be long remembered for the men it has made, not for the fineness of its art nor the exquisiteness of mechanical devices, nor for its monopolies and exploitations of God's gifts to all men. The price is blood and bone. Our children shall not be ground to pow’der for profit and our men shall not be crucified for freedom’s sake. We are going to have these without sacrifice. And so jeach iman who has any laith leaves his groove cut deep with the graver of purpose upon the conditions and methods about him. We can by such men, for w? have to stand by them, even while we are damning them for tearing down idols, as did Moses, and so proving to us if Would be well to build more stately- mansions for our souls —and the souls of ethers. Scandalous Tongues They had just moved to town an«Pa sociable neighbor makes an , ?arly call. (Who would want new people to get lonesome or have unfavorable impression of the place?) But —before she left she told of how’ and why (the scandalous tongues were wagging over the young Mrs. Soandso. Good news? ’ ' • Good impression? , Good neighbor’ Yes. None liad ever said anything about her or her husband, much less son or daughter. She was a member of a good church, for none ever s£oke unfavorably of choir members, con- 6 gregational members and families or their pastor. She .belonged to a club, and everyone affiliated lead an ideal life. As for lodges, every' member of the order to which she belonged lived up to the ideals of the organization. What a blessing for a family, making their home in a different

town, to have one good new neighbor. ,Not since the days when the Venus de Milo was carved from marble were women’s styles so sensible as now. The abolition of steelribbed corsets and mudbedraggled skirts to the present neat and natty and comfortable style may be a matter of fashion, but it also smacks of common sense and reason. Its rather interesting to note the sudden attraction of the far West for gentlemn who usually spend their vacations in New England or Europe. The West seems due for considerable sympathy of one kind or another. And another thing—there’s too much law making of the kind the other fellow wants and not enough of the kind he wants. An observer suggests that a i large part of the building boom ‘ consists of new garages. The principal accumulation of poor men seems to be a family. t Opportunities always look big when too late.
