tended the Thirteen Club banquet
which was held in the dining hall
of the Franklin Hotel on Wednes

very effectively in black and white

Armistice Day
Program Is Held
At the College
A program of great interest
was presented in Mr. Bray’s Gov
ernment II Class Monday morning
November 12. This was a special
Armistice presentation of readings
and talks on the past Great War
and the horrible aspects of a war
in the future. This program was
especially interesting to the stu
dents because if a war should oc
cur in the next twenty or thirty
vears we should be the ones to
have to bear arms or nurse the
wounded, and we who would take
an active part find it our duty to
our country and to our own well
being to see that war is outlawed
and that no such destroying force
is again turned loose upon the face
of the earth to kill, maim, and de
stroy.

I made up of Raymond Blanton.
