In her address. Mrs. Wollaston. the |
retiring president quoted from the !
prologue of the anniversary pageant: /
Time is the greatest weaver of them
all.
His cleaning shuttle never stops or
stays"
continued-"And so the tapestry Of
these two years Is finished today. To
me the picture will be boy that will
remain for all time.
"Ihe first year was full of work for
the welfare and uplift of those less
fortunate than ourselves, especially wo-
men and children. Also dreams came
true, and We knew there was TO be- an
affiliated college at Newark Then we
had visit from Mrs Percy " Penny
packer, president of the General Fed
Grafton OF Womens Clubs.
"Ihe second year opened with a de-
sire on the part of our members 10 in
crease club membership, and at the No
vember meeting il was decided to in
crease to 525. We are closing the year
with waiting list iustiiying the in
crease made at that time.
Our anniversary was the celehra-
tion OF our twenty-fith birthday, and
the milestones made that week will
never be forgotten and the memories
surely are very sweet.
From beginning 10 end there was
not a flaw to mark the completeness OF
our birthday celebration, and it was the
work of our past presidents.
During the latter portion of the
year, the course of lectures ON Ma.
tional Current Events stands out as re-
ceiving much enthusiasm, and many are
longing for more.
Daughters Day was such success,
it is hoped il win be an annual affair,
as our daughters are the hope of our or
ganization.
Il have held the shuttle of time for a
few minutes, but now my task is ended,
and / pass over TO my successor the du-
ties, honors and pleasures OF this Of
fee. Two years ago il was with fear
and trembling that ] accepted this em-
blem of authority; but today / hand it
over with courage and strength, for
know how loyal and true-hearted you
are to your president"
In her address Mrs. Colby promised
the best effort of which she is capable.
Ladies of the sew-C Century Club, +"
she said, Il hope / may call you friends.
/ thank you for the honor conferred on
me by making me your president. II
is an honor TO serve such a body Of
splendid women, but / feel IL greater
responsibility.

netic presence, charming personality
Z youth, conservatism, versatility, justice
? and tact. In so many of these qualities
J.. / am lacking that | would wonder what
