Victor Taylor and Charlie Larzalere, all
Elkton boys, have banded themselves to-
gether into an organization styled the "Big
Seven the name being significant OF the
number Of members.
The members are taking places of PROM
inence in all social affairs and their friends
say that that accounts for the name Big az
applied to the Seven Last week the Seven
attended two social functions in Whining
ton, as well as witnessing the launch of
Howard Gould's yacht-and it is supposed
of course that they were honored guests
upon those occasions
1t is said that this organization of Youths
has aroused the jealousy of eleven other
young Elktonians who are thinking of
forming another club to be known as
Come Eleven"-and which will, when-
ever the big Seven" gathers break in upon
the occasion and scatter the Seventies to
the four winds.
Their war cry will be:-''Big Seven
