in the College dining room. Refectory had been profusely decorated for
the occasion. To the blue and the white and the national colors were added
the colors of the Knights of Columbus out of courtesy to the members of the
order present. It was a sumptuous repast that Fr. Hannon had prepared
for the guests of the College. At all times lavish of the good things at
his command he outdid himself on this occasion and many were the compliments which the success of his endeavors called forth.
