THE RED AX1) BLACK
Law Class Banquet.
Forty members <>f tin* Law
Cln-s banqueted on Mondin
night at tin* Commercial Hotel.
From the first thing on the pro
gram to tin* very Last the <*vi>n-
ing was thoroughly enjoyed.
The l>an(|tiet was rather hastily
arranged hut was for that rea
son none tin* less a success. Mr.
E. N. Calhoun, of Palatka,Flor
ida, was toastmaster and pro-
aided with ease and grace.
The arrangement committee,
consisting of Messrs. Emory
Shannon, Hinton Booth, Paul
Whitten, Howell Hollis and
Hump McWhorter, had had pre
pared for tin* occasion a first-
class menu of catuhlcs, and at
ten o'clock the lawyers took
their places around tin* banquet
board to do justice by what was
now placed before them.
At II :80 after the table was
cleared, the literary menu was
begun to In* served. Tin* toast
committee .consisting of Messrs.
A. .1. McDonald, P. II. (Mom,
and E. N. Calhoun, had urrang
od an excellent program, and
showed good taste as well in
choice of speakers as in choice
of subjects. I’hi* toasts ranged
all the way from tin* witty to
the serious, from the sublime to
the ridiculous, and many of
them would have done ample
credit to a gathering of older
and more sedate banqueters.
The variety of subjects was as
striking as the variety of styles
in treating them.
Here follows a list of the
toasts and the toast makers :
“ Boo/.e—Its I’se and Abuse,”
Pratt A. Williams.
“Virginia,” .1. A. Cross.
"The Carnival,” Howell Hollis
“All Fool's Day,” Bm Parks.
“Florida,” II. Jennings Quincy.
“The Old and the New,” Hin
ton Booth.
“The Law Class,” Israel Put
nam.
“ Happy Days in Dixie,”
Hamp NlcWh oriel*.
“The (lirls we Left Behind,”
K. .1. Bacon, .1 r.
“The Law Faculty,” Emory
Shannon.
“tieorgia,” II. L. Bennett.
“Woman,” J C. Elder
“Mine Own People,” P. H.
Odom.
“Tenues*. *e,"B. H. IIuunicutt.
“South Carolina,” John Ty
son .
‘•Letters from the Faculty,”
C. K. Hoop.
“Catiis « t Possunuis," .1. B
Logan.
“A Word of Jackassism,” P.
Coolev.
“Our Future,” Paul Brown.
Then* was something unique
tad original in almost every
s|*eech, but deserving particular
mention were the papers read
bv Messrs. Koopanil Parks, the
toast and recitation given by
Mr. Logan, and Mr. Elder’s
tribute to woman. Music form
ed a frequent diversion of the
evening’s program, the song
most sung nndoftenest repeated
being the pathetic and soul-stir
ring btdlad called “I Feel Like,”
conducted by Mr. Cross.
The program ended,all joined
in tho “doxology,” and Mr.
Williams concluded the even
ing’s festivities with a happy
henedictiion upon the table that
had fed them and the speeches
they had listened to.
