Evening times-Republican. [volume] (Marshalltown, Iowa) 1890-1923, 1916-10-19

Boys, what would you think Of a
! whole evening devoted to your own en-
tertainment exclusively with a SWIM
track meet, movies peanuts, ice
| cream, and "everything?"
That is just what every boy in town
over II years old who gets a ticket in
time will be treated at the Y. NJ. C. A.
on the evening of Wednesday, Nov. /.
The occasion will be a social given by
the boys who are members Of the Y"
to boys who are not members.
A committee Of fifty has been APP
pointed to distribute the tickets in
every grade school in the city, and in
the eighth grade of the high school.
The limit set is 400 boys, as this is
about all the Y. NJ. c. A. will hold.
fdea to Get Boys Together.
Notices have already been sent out
by E. L. Micklewright boys work sec
rotary, who is promoting the social.
to the committee of fifty, and this COM
mittee met at 4:30 this afternoon at
the Y. NJ. G. A. Here, it is explained
that the idea Of the social was to get
the boys who are not members of the
association from all over the city. The
boys who are members will ming.e
with their guests, and a general good
time will be enjoyed. There are no re-
strictions as to race or creed, the only
| requirement being that the boy be over
II years old and have ticket.
Novel Entertainment Planned.
In order that the boys may not be
kept up too late the fun will start
promptly at $50, with games and a
track meet in the gymna stun. After
| the games the boys are to be given Il
treat. Two bushels of fresh roasted
peanuts will be dumped on the gym
floor from the balcony, and it will be
a case of grab and run. No one will
need to worry about getting the shells
| on the floor, but every boy will be ex-
peanuts as he can.
After the peanuts have been dis
| posed Of the boys will be treated to
three or four reels of special moving
pictures, to be shown in the gymnas-
ium. There will be an educational reel,
comedy, and a good story, all espe-
cially selected for the occasion. With
the peanuts and movies off their minds,
a frolic in the swimming pool will be
next in order. The water in the pool is
kept at an even temperature all the
year round, and the boys will be al
lowed to have as much fun in the wa
ter as they want.
The climax will come after the boys
are freshened up with shower bath
Close students of the small boys have
made the remarkable discovery that q
boy gets hungry about every hour
| Consequently, when the swim has been
finished, 1t will be taken for granted
that the peanuts have been digested,
and the boys will all be treated to ice
cream upstairs in the boys depart
ment. BY that time it is believed
every boy will be ready to go home and
enjoy a we'll earned rest. This social
will be the biggest thing for boys that
has ever been held at the Y. NJ. c. A.,
and it will behoove every boy who
wants to go to get his ticket early.
