Son Banquet Friday Evening
DR.. HensOn's Talk
Good.

The Father and Son Banquet given
Friday evening at the First Presby-
terrain church under the auspices of
the State Y. M. C. A. organization, was
great success in every way. There
were many present-more than had
been expected - but all were well
cared for and entered into the spirit
of the meeting.
The fathers and their sons assem-
bled in the main auditorium of the
church on the second floor and after
being labeled, they formed in line and
marched into the Sunday School room
on the first floor which had been turn
ed into a beautiful dining room by the
ladies' of the church. Long tables had
been arranged through the room
which were beautifully decorated.
Walls of the room were covered with
large cards prepared by the High
School boys which bore attractive
wording addressed to the boys and
their fathers.
Mr.. A. G. Sulser presided as toast
master in a splendid fashion and
Young's orchestra gave beautiful
music during the evening. Miss Lucy
Smith, Mr.. Dodds and Mrs. Dodds
sang the verses Of popular and pa
triotic songs and the audience Joined
them in the chorus. Prof. Young sang
a very beautiful bass solo.
Mr.. James B. Wood was assigned
the subject "An Ideal Son." He gave
as his ideal of son, one who was de-
veloping in mind, body and spirit. His
address was very interesting. Roger
Camplinger, son of Prof. and Mrs. w.
J. Caplinger, gave a talk on "The Kind
of Dad Like" and Roger carried
the house away with him. His talk
not only appealed to the sons present
but to the fathers as we'll and the ap-
plause which followed his talk lasted
for several minutes.
The chief address of the evening
was delivered by DR.. l.. l.. Henson,
pastor of the First Baptist Church of
Covington, who Just returned three
weeks ago from France where he had
been for several months as Y. M, c.
A. worker. His address was very en-
tertaining and greatly enjoyed While
he put many truths into the minds of
his hearers out of his experiences, he
was very pleasing entertainer and
could tell story WELL
One of the most interesting things
about the entire evening was the time
spent in telling nicknames. The faith
ers were first called upon to give their
nicknames and some brought out
much laughter. When the boys start
ed the laughter would sometime
drown the boys out. This part of the
program was very amusing,
Mr.. R. A. Cochran, chairman of the
Red Triangle activities in Mason
county and a member of the Board Of
Directors of the State organization
gave short talk near the close of the
evening expressing his qualification at
such a large audience being present
and explaining some of the things the
"Y" could do for Maysville and Mason
county without a real local organiza-
ton.
An account of the very delightful
evening would not be complete with
out some mention Of the splendid ban
quet served by the ladies of the First
Presbyterian church at such a nomi-
nal cost. The banquet was good and
to express their appreciation a stand
ing vote of thanks was accorded the
ladies and then the whole audience
gave nine rahs and three cheers for
the ladies'.
