The 26th annual banquet of the Sidney High school alumni association was held in the armory last night. There were 100 persons present to enjoy the elegant menu served by C.A. Sexauer, of Piper Brothers, assisted by Jesse L. Frazier, Roy Carothers, Sam Arbuckle, and Charles Royon, Claude DeWeese, Stanley Livingston, Eugene Pence, and Will Rostron.
The following officers were elected by the members of the high school alumni association last evening: Ernest C. Amos, president; Ernest Given, vice president; Miss Raeburn Epler, secretary; and Robert Marshall, treasurer.
At the meeting of the fire department last night, George Coil, Isaac Walters, and William O’Leary, minutemen, handed in their resignations. They were accepted and Martin McNeal, John Smith and Charles Worthington were appointed in their places.
There s some new insight into why East Baton Rouge couldn t get a jump on the heavy rain and flooding last week. The city has been saying it doesn t have enough workers to clear drainage ditches and canals.

BATON ROUGE - It s nice to have some help from your friends and that s what one man got after taking it upon himself to deal with clogged canals in Baton Rouge.
Stanley Livingston was back out in Dawson Creek again Thursday, cutting down and hauling trees. He had some help from Matt Thomas of TULIPA. The two worked to cut down the remaining trees and started tackling a large mulberry tree that started this whole project.
The mission continues to clear clogged canals in East Baton Rouge. It comes after a story Monday about a man doing it himself after his neighborhood has flooded multiple times.
It s not the do-it-yourself job anyone would want, but it s the one that s most likely to get things done. A man who is so frustrated with flooding from clogged canals in Baton Rouge is taking it upon himself to clear them out.
