PaGsade Triangle Club
Ushers In Season With
A Lively Meeting

The Triangle Club, of Palisade,
held rousing meeting on Wednes-
day evening at the house of James
V. Woolcott, jr. Those present were:
Randolph E. Brown, president; Paul
A. Berkey, vice-president; Robert E.
Blue, treasurer, Este Flagge, secre-
tary; James V. Woolcott, jr.; Her
man B. Borgstede, L. Leon Rueh-
mann, Conrad Breiby and George H.
Beckmann.
During the summer months, the
club did not hold any meetings That
the club is not dead by any means,
was shown by Wednesday nights
enthusiastic gathering. The Triangle
Club was formed by the boys of Pail
SADIE between the ages of fifteen and
twenty to bring them in closer touch
with each other. 1t has three aims:
sociability, athletics, and dramatics.
1t was the purpose of the first fall
meeting to discuss ways and means
by which these might be carried out.
A big social event, one which will
wake up the town and be remembered
for long time afterward was
planned. This is to take place in
October. AS the plans are gradually
perfected, announcements concern
ing it will be made. It was decided
to have home evenings every other
week, the members meeting at the
different boys houses and having a
good time and an enjoyable social
evening playing various games.
Several important steps were
taken in the athletic line. L. Leon
Ruehmann was elected captain of the
tennis team, with authority to pick
a team of four from the members
and schedule matches with outside
clubs. George H. Beckmann was
elected captain and James V. Wool
colt, jr, manager, Of the basketball
team. Conrad Breiby was elected
captain of the hockey team. The
club ought to hold it's own in all of
these sports with teams of it's class.
A round robin doubles tennis tourn-
ament is going to be held this month,
the teams as drawn being: Ruehmann
and Woolcott, Beckmann and Flagge,
Berkey and Blue, Breiby and Lane,
and Brown and Mutt.
