"The Ladies of the Decoration" g"

Miss Lillian Patterson is chairman
of the decorating committee for the
Auxiliary's May day dance, and she
requests as large an army of volun-
teer helpers as possible to meet her
Thursday, April 20, at p. m. at the
armory to assist in the decorating.
Decorating the armory is quite a
large proposition, but with member
ship of seventy-two the Auxiliary
ought not to find any difficulty in
getting together a big enough force
to do it easily. If each individual
member will take as much interest
in these preparations as she does in
the dance of the day following, the
work will be soon and satisfactorily
accomplished. Please bring ivy, Ore
gon grape, or anything else suitable
for decoration.

Farewell Party for Choir.

The choir OF the Congregational
church was most pleasantly enter
tanned Friday evening of last week
by their leader, Miss Norma Minkler,
who planned farewell party for her
choir, by first seeing the pictures at
the Vining and then repairing to her
home at GA Boulevard, where the
farewell rehearsal was given, along
with a social time, having resigned
the choir leadership April 15, to take
effect May /. Miss Minkler was elect
ed leader at the annual meeting of
the church in January and since then
has had a most successful career in
the way of handling a band of choris-
ters, and it is with deep regret that
the church grants her request, and
especially is every member of the
choir sorry to lose her, as they feel
that she has improved their talent in
a way that will last.
Aside from the choir the invitation
was extended to the wives of the mar
ried men belonging thereto, and also
to Miss Grace Davis, all of whom
enjoyed the evening along with the
rest.
At the close of the rehearsal Miss
Minkler was presented with beauti-
full gift, in the way of a silver pie
and cake knife, OF which on one side
of the handle was engraved the in.
