The noon feast had just been finished when a storm 'came up, causing the crowd to seek hurried shelter, to save a complete drenching of themselves and the abundance of good viands that were left over. Many left for their homes and did not return thus the reunion of 1924 was at an end, however, the -few hours were, pleasantly and enjoy-ably spent, but few' of the old time incidents as are usually exchanged, as to youthful days beneath parental -and family; circles.

The many absent members were greatly regretted, however, no greater than those who were unable to attend. There were a number of messages from absent ones, which were not made known to those present owing to the sudden breaking up of the gathering by the storm. There was no business "meeting held, thus we -are unable'to give officers for the ensuing year or place of next meeting.
