OCALA SOCIAL AFFAIRS


Mabel Meffert and the latter of Miss
es Louise Rentz, Nettie Camp, Agnes
Burford, Sidney Perry, Callie Gissen-
daner, Rosebud Robinson, Theo Beck
ham and Tommie Standley. The first
group wore green kits, caps, socks
and white blouses, and the second
group was beautiful in pink crepe pa
per dresses with pink caps. The girls
were as pretty as pictures and their
attractive marches and sweet sing
ing was the result of careful training
by Miss Ethel Haycraft, who had the
exclusive drilling of them.
In conclusion, we can well say no
local affair was ever enjoyed more
nor greater success financially. The
proceeds equalled almost $3.50 and
the committee will share them with
the building committee of the club
and with its portion will plant trees
on the Silver Springs boulevard,
around the club house and in the
parks.
