In the intervals between the courses the members of the so ciety entertained themselves with a large reportoire of choice songs, of which the most popular appeared to be “ Oh Home Ain’t Nothin’ like This.” The vocalists sang with so much en thusiasm that they made the welkin ring—also the dining room. After the last course had been cleared away there followed a succession of bright and witty toasts including the follow ing: . “ The Winner” by Mr. Wirtz; “ The Coach” by Mr. Russell Bates, “ The Debaters” by Mr. Gates, and “ Our Friends the Enemy” by Mr. Thompson. Mr. Edgar Meresse spoke in behalf of the “ Has-Beens” and Mr. Peters responded to the clamor for a speech. Mr. Smith discussed “ The Future of Gamma Sigma,” Mr. Gilbert “ The Philos” and Mr. Hugh Sparks gave the closing toast “Gamma Sigma.” The party broke up and the diners returned to their homes with many pleasant memories and a loyalty even greater than before for old Gamma Sigma.
