Take it all in all, It was the most
successful entertainment held by the
lodge and will be long remembered by
all members present as a social function
which will always keep April s. 1917,
the 25th anniversary of the Edge, in
their minds. Not dull moment was
experienced from the hour the banquet
commenced at O'Clock until the dancing
ceased near the midnight hour; and
everything went along in a way which
showed the untiring work which the sew
eral committees have been performing
during the past few days to make it
success Not the least work was shown
in the decorations which gave the rooms
a very attractive appearance, the color
scheme of red, white and blue being used.
From the center of the lodge-room the
national coIors were suspended to all cor
ners and small United States flags were
waving to and fro.
Festivities commenced at o'clock, |
