Sunday was a great day in the his
tory of the Hays Council of the
Knights of Columbus. A class of six
ty-nine new members was taken into
| the order. The weather made 1t DOS
sIble for those to come from great
| dlstancses IN cars and nearly every
| town In Western Kansas was repre-
| sented. Fully three hundred people
were served to the excellent banquet
IN the basement of the Parochial
| school building that evening.
It was impossible to seat this num-
Der at once but the work of changing
and caring for everyone was done
so easily and with such satisfaction
that much praise was given the wait
ers and ladies who had charge of the
affair.
Each number of the program was a
treat in itself. The musical numbers
were especially fine. Prof. Meier's
orchestra has always been a ioy to
Hays audiences, they were at their
best on this occasion. The vocal duet
by the Misses Mathilda and Agnes
Meier brought forth much applause.
