The refreshment were served quick- ly and without a hitch, and the ar- rangements were like clock work, * * * * Old Friends are Priceless • The foregoing is a recital -exiles of Huron at play. Above and be, yond it -what does it mean? Mentally one tries to appraise the value of an old friend. There is something about the friends of yes- terday -the boys whom one stubbed toes with in the long ago -the boy the gang knew as "Freckles" or "Bricktop" or '"Curly Head"; the school girl with her golden tresses hanging down her back curled over her mother's finger, who we calked perhaps Miss Prim; or the dark -eyed little girl who shot you a roughisly smiling glance as'she winded her way to and from school. The friends of yesterday! How we like to 'renew pleasantries and con- tacts at such delightful gatherings as the Huron Old Boys' and Girls' at home in the city of one's adoption, One takes pardonable pride, too, be- cause these gatherings are second to. none, At one's leisure the value of old friends keeps to the fore. Beyond mental capacity is the' value, when pleasured' in pure gold :or glittering gems. One tries to say each old friend is worth his or her weight in precious metal, inrcut gems. You mentally heap up the volume of these of highly intrinsic value. Then the thought is closely examined, and one finds the high values are an under' estimate--and you conclude "old friends are priceless" -beyond com- putation, S o:5 Exiles Who Were There Secretary Floody and the Publicity Committee try not to -overlook in the following list a single Huronite.
