Hoo Hoo Banquet and Concat at San Diego October 25

One of the best banquets and concats of the year was put on by San Diego IIoo-Hoo at the Maryland llotel on Saturday evening, October 25th, 1924, a party that will be long remembered by the 54 members *'ho rvere present at the affair.

Joseph Restine, San Diego's newly elected Snark. presided at the banquet table. During the banquet hour ser'eral snappy musical numbers and songs were rendered br' the well known San Diego Harmony Hounds quartet.

Snark Joe announced the winners of the Golf Tournament, viz:

Frank Parks, Manager La Mesa Lumber Co., was awarded the Silver Cup held during the past year by Herbert Sullivan, Frank being rvinner of the first lon' net.

Harry C. McGahey, Sales l\{anager for the San Diego I-umber Company, winner of the second low net, rvas presented with 6 golf balls.

Earl I\fcCormick, I\fanager of the ]'[cCormick Brothers Lumber Company, rvinner of the second lorv gross, was presented rvith 4 golf balls.

In presenting the silver cup trophv to Brother Parks b,v Herbert Sullivan, Herb stated that he parted with the cup reluctantly, because IWrs. Sullivan had already purchased a silver set to match it, feeling that Herb rvould have no difficulty in demonstrating his golf championship for many years to come.

We have a fairly accurate history of the world for four thousand Yefrs, and yet there are m-en within the sound of my voice who can personally remember when ninety-five per cent of our present comforts, conveniences, and pleasures were not even seriously
