A committee comprising members of both classes had been ap pointed to plan the supper and meet ing. They had planned a Fish Stew and also oysters, but the fish did not arrive. They had only four gallons " of oysters and when the express came in Friday afternoon late and they found that the cat-fish for the stew , was missing; it was a blue lot of men for a while. Soon they were telephoning for more oysters, having got all they could get here they went .to Forest City finally for the rest and at 7 o'clock they had more than the eighty or more men could eat. 1 Mr. J. C. Hames, teacher of the class announced that the committee had engaged three men to speak for this occasion and they learned too , late that two of them were ill and the third was away attending a fu neral so they were disappointed for , a while.
