Waterville Country Club members
could not have picked a more beau
tiful day for the Fourth Annual OPP
ening than was condition from the
city to the club grounds and every
thing seemed to be favorable. Hum
dreds visited the club and it was
considered the grandest opening that
the club has known. The beautiful
grounds were very attractive and the
rooms arranged as coy as the most
beautiful home one could wish for.
All went to enjoy themselves and this
they did. for there was every kind
Of amusement.
With II tables Of whist, the after
noon was passed in a very delight
full way by the ladies. Prizes were
awarded to Mrs. George Stobie, who
received a beautiful bouquet Of
Sweetpeas. the first award. and Miss
Myra Redington, a bud vase, second
prize.
At $50 a fine chicken banquet was
served to about $50 members and all
did ample justice to the delicious and
appetizing menu. which had been so
carefully arranged by the chef, Sam
uel F. Kicker.
In the evening over 200 members
and their invited guests were pres
ent at the club and the ladies in theft
evening gowns were most attractive.
Dancing was enjoyed until a late
hour and music was furnished by
Drew's Orchestra. During the eve-
MING hxy
the Misses Katheryn Annis and Ethel
DeRohne. with their assistants.
The Waterville Country Club was
rganized in 1916 with about $50
members, and has rapidly grown.
This year 80 new applications have
been received.
Very few people realize the value
Of the Country Club, unless they
have become members, and enjoy the
sports which are on the daily pro-
gram at the club. This year the club
will add trap shooting to it's other
sports, and also clock gilf and cro-
quet. 1t is also understood that
there will be sand beds erected at

rents are members Of the club. This
a.
good, healthful sport for children.

between Waterville and Oakland and
easily reached by the Oakland elec-
nc car, with a five minute walk from
the car line. The driveway is in fine
condition, which enables automobiles
to enter the grounds to the door.
