The members of the B. |. C. and
their brothers were royalty entertain.
ed at the hospitable home of Miss
Retha Robertson on the Glendale road
Friday evening, August Q. A small
program was given which afforded
much fun and amusement for the
young folks. After the program
games we're played on the lawn which
was decorated for the occasion with
Japanese lanterns. The young folks
we're then invited to the front of the
house where a fire had been made
for a wienie roast. Everybody ate
wienies, sandwiches and pickles to
their hearts content. About ten
white-robed figures which resembled
ghosts tried to break up the party
but the attempt was useless, so they
found the remaining wienies and pre-
pared for a wienie roast, when the B
|. C.'s put the fire out and broke up
their party. Two of the culprits
were captured and were compelled to
spend the remainder of the evening
with the B. I. C.s. For further infor.
nation see Ralph Fisher and Glen

we're then served and a "merrie com
pany" departed at an early hour in
the morning, voting Miss Retha a
royal entertainer. Those who spent
the evening at the Robertson home
were: Harry and Agnes Oakley, Zella
