HOT Time In TOWN
SATURDAY NIGHT

Talk about your ''hot time in
the old town." well, it wasn't
in it with the stag party we had
last Saturday night. 1t was sim
ply a pleasure to meet all these
Holbrook boys as well as the
strangers, and, by the way,
friends. in fact. it was "the most
congenial gathering of true fel-
lowship l ever saw in any COM
munitY from the Atlantic to the
Pacific. - as one of the party ex-
pressed himself. Yes, it is true
the vets died and the drys will
now have their say, but. due
credit to the vets, there wasn't
one unkind word said about it.
But, say! Talk about the fun we
had! Words can hardly express
it: Dancing, singing, piano play
ing; and about the orators in the
party! l may say if Shakespeare
could have been there he surely
would have copied some of it
and rehashed it in his way, but
doubt if it would have retained
its natural flavor. Of course it
goes without saying. the refresh
ments were good and plentiful,
and no one left without all he
wanted in the line of eatable and
drinkable commodities.
