she skillfully brought in the
main events in the history of
the United States since 1621, the
date of the first Thanksgiving,
showing how the United States
was thankful for these events
at this season.
All the toasts and responses
were given in Chaucerian verse.
Miss Louise Kent toasted Mrs.
Youngblood as Our Manciple;
Miss Gordo Davis toasted Miss
Sara Barrett as Our Parish
Priest; Miss Elizabeth Merritt
gave a toast to Miss Eloise
White as Our Sergeant of the
Law; Miss Carolyn Hairston
toasted Miss Rosalie Kamper as
Our Miller (the athlete); Our
Poet, Miss Carrie Fall Benson
was toasted by Miss Mattie Jo
Pullin; Miss Julia Marlin toasted Mr. Thompson as Our Knight.
Mr. Thompson gave the following response:
"Adown the cliff-crowned
slopes that stretch from where
The shaded vales of russet
morn recline
A fiery steed in burnished
trappings came
Bearing a knight whose glittering armor shone
In glinted steel beneath the radiant stars:
Halting beside me as I stopped
to gaze
Into his face with holy mission fired
He asked if I were one who
would desire
To find in life its greatest duty
wed
With high accomplishment
and deeds performed.
That brought within themselves their meed of joy.
Smiling I looked at him and
bade him speak,
Telling me how such labor
might be found
, Combined with joy and sweet
contentment's smile.
Forthwith he drew from out
the silken fold
Of his white garment an unspotted scroll.
From which he read:
Yonder on a western hilltop,

By the rolling Chattahoochee,
