RAYNOLDS MEMORIAL
CLASS SOCIAL EVENING

When rs or so congenial people get
together for social evening, the re-
suit is a social that is sociable. Such
was the case Friday, when the men
of this class, assisted by the ladies,
most emphatically proved that they
know how to enjoy themselves and
that man may be member of a
Bible class, and still be good fell
low The social was most informal in
character, the object of all seeming
to be to see that everyone had a good
time, consequently there was not a
dull minute.
Mr.. Talbot as master of ceremonies
was most happy and under his skill
full management most delightful pro-
gram was arranged and rendered to
the great pleasure of all. Mr.. Dawson
sang Misses Dale and Conaway rend-
cred some fine instrumental music,
Mrs. Bethel delighted all with her
songs, Miss Goodykoontz gave a read
ing in her most pleasing manner, Mr..
Pressey as superintendent gave fine
talk, Rev J. r. Thomas gave a mag
nificent talk and Mr. Stump responded
for the class.
The program was followed by a
most cleverly arranged history game,
which furnished an endless amount of
amusement, and last, but far from
least, came the refreshments, exqui-
sitely dainty and faultlessly served.
The social was success in point of
numbers, of good fellowship and of
class interest and loyalty.
Too much praise cannot be given
the committee, composed of Messrs.
Talbot, Beall and Bowman, for their
untiring and most successful efforts,
in providing such a rarely pleasant
evening for the friends and members
of the class The men of the class are
already making arrangements for an
other social early in May.
