NEW YEARS DAY.
9shered In With Parties--Open Houses
At The Club And The Y. NJ. c. A.

late hour especially for this. The
weather, although calm was cloudy
and New Years eve as we'll as the
first day of 1914 was not ushered in
with lovely sunshiny day as most
people like TO have it. AL through
the day weather prophets were to be
found everywhere, and they all seemed
TO agree that a storm was brewing.
Their prophecy was true and towards
the end of the first of JAN
uary snow storm set in which kept
up good part of the evening and
this pleased the business men for they
had begun to feel that "a trade-in-
creaser' was a necessary thing. Less
than two inches fell and on Friday
this melted down to most nothing.
The Y. NJ G. A. kept open house
New Years afternoon and evening.
AT Jhree p. m, the first number of the
program was carried out in the gym
naSium where most interesting
game of yolley ball way played be-
tween team captained by J A. Row
ley and another captained by Robert
HOchtritt. This was a new game TO
many of the people in the audience
and great interest was manifested in
it. Following this splendid
exhibition of junior class work was
given. After this, class work exhibit
tion, an interesting game of bas ketbal
took place between the high school
team and an alumni team that is
called the Roost. The game was one
in which several of last years stars
Carl Eggebrecht and Herbert Chris
tain, made splendid showing with the
alumni and in which the new fellows
played as hard as they could to beat
the "Roosters," but play as they
would the score at the end stood u to
%, the Roost on the top. Every
fellow on both teams played a splendid
game. The gymnasium gallery as we'll
as good part of the standing room in
the gym was filled to the limit, a fact
that greatly pleased all those in
terested in Y. NJ. G. A. work
A most tempting cafeteria lunch
was served in the dining room on the
second floor, consisting of sandwich
es, coffee, ice cream, etc, and quite
bit of profit was made of Of this
department.
In the evening a program of class
work and dancing, wrestling match,
elementary tumbling and an indoor
baseball game was carried out, The
indoor baseball game was between a
senior y team and the H. Il. A. team.
The game was very close and it was
not without work that the seniors
won out point TO the good, the score
being Is TO Is.
In the afternoon there was a bowl
ing tournament between a team
captained by Frank Rowley and one
captained by Albert Mohr. The team,
lead by Frank Rowley, won two
of the three games rolled and so in
the evening the winning high school
team played the seniors, winning two
straight games. The seniors who
played were Roland Bartlett, cap
tain Amel Torgerson, Walter
Gappa, Paul Kruger, and those on
the team of Frank Rowley were:
Frank Rowley, captain: John Manson,
Elyln Hartlett, Frank Raab, Afford
Crandall.
The library of tile Y was a veritable
art gallery. A committee OF inter-
mediate boys had been at work almost
week securing calendars for the ex
hibit and more beautiful exhibition
of calendars had never been seen here.
Some of the pictures on the calendars
who did not see the library with the
calendars can be assured that they
missed something mighty good.
One thing very noticeable at the Y
all during the day was the pre-
vailing good cheer. Everybody was
imbued with the spirit of the oc-
casion and everyone wished whomeVer
he saw "Happy and Prosperous
New Year" Not in long time has
the Y. Nj. C. A. had such a successful
New Years day open house
One of the most pleasant social
events of the holiday season was the
annual ball given by the Wausau
club on last Wednesday evening.
About one hundred couple enjoyed
the dancing. The ball opened with
the grand march which took place at
nine-thirty. The dance program in
cluded eighteen numbers composed of
tangos, waltzes and two-steps. The
ball room and parlors were beauti-
fully decorated with holiday greens,
smilax and palms. The new year was
ushered in, in a unique manner. An
electric display had been arranged
Promptly at twelve O'Clock the music
stopped and the numerals slowly
changed TO 1914. Light refreshments
were served in the dining room. The
ball was a success throughout, and
one of the most. enjoyable in the
clubs history.
