CHICAGO A. & M. CLUB.
(By W. M. Denny)
As all good Texans should, we
celebrated San Jacinto Day, not by
taking a holiday as we wanted to do,
but by meeting around the banquet
board on Monday evening, April 21,
at the Great Northern Hotel.
The table was decorated with an
A. & M. banner, surrounded by “blue
bonnets’ which were imported for
the occasion from the Lone Star
State. After dinner, bridge and five
hundred were in order for the bene-
fit of our fair visitors. So that you
might see the sort of menu put out
by the Great Northern Hotel, I am
enclosing one of our programs.
Louis H. Powell and his family are
expecting to leave for Texas on April
26 for that delayed vacaition, so you
may see him in a few days if he can
spare the time to stop off at College.
Jos Weidel, ’92, is visiting his
friends and relatives in San Antonio,
Texas. ‘Mike’ McOscor, ’19, and
“Tony” Bell, 22, were in Chicago
Monday to attend the banquet. Mike
‘s in Niles, Michigan, care general
delivery, temporarily.
