Annual Father and Son Feast on School Lawn, May 20, 1924

Father-and-Son Feast

The annual father-and-son supper was held on the school lawn Tuesday night. There was a large attendance. The University band played and the “Y” quartette sang. Dr. E.A. Abernethy and F.W. Koch made brief talks, and Henry Brown spoke for the boys of the school. The meal was served by the school teachers and girls.

H.D. Meyer was the manager of the affair this year, and did his job zealously and well. Dr. Abernethy told of the inauguration by the school board of a plan of physical education, with R.B. Lawson as director and G.H. Paulsen as business manager. In Mr. Koch’s talk he mentioned his new son and said he supposed he had more boys than any man at the table. S.W. Andrews, who has seven sons and seven daughters, and has five of each living, was there, but did not offer to contest the Koch title.
