ROTARY CLUB ENTERTAINS
NEWBERRY COLLEGE SENIORS

"Rah, rah, rah, Newberry! Rah
rah, rah, Ro,ariansn Gee, bu. did
MT that senior class of Newberry col
|lege (senors and senoritas, II YOU
please) make the welkin ring with
their college yells at the regular bl.
weekly luncheon OF the Newberry Ro,
tary club Tuesday afternoon, and
didn't the Rotarians enjoy to the full
est the presence of the graduates
of old Newberry! Why, it was in
deed a feast for the eyes to look upon
the youthful countenances of Rota-
rians John Kinard, Alan Jchnstone,
Sid Derrick, and even Zach Wright,
as they mingled with the fair co-eds,
who, by the way, were not permitted
to choose their table companions. 1t
is needless to say that Rotarians Bob
Mayes and Harry Dominick, who, with
Zach Wright, compose the Rotary
bachelor trio, exerted every effort to
s'look their best" on this occasion,
but it could easily be seen that they
were completely overshadowed by
many of the more fortunate Rotarians
(the benedicts of the club), who prov
ed conclusively to the co-eds how
youthful the old stagers can appear
when the occasion demands!
Yes, the Rotarians had as their
guests on Tuesday the members OF
the senior class of Newberry college,
about thirty in number, and it proved
to be one of the most enjoyable lun-
cheons in the history Of the club. The
table decorations were in scarlet and
gray, the college oolors, with baskets
of sweet peas adorning the tables.
Beautiful place-cards, folders printed
in the college colors, with the seal of
the institution embossed on the cover,
were used These place cards con-
tanned the program Of the luncheon,
as we'll as the club roster.
President George B. Cromer presld-
ed over the meeting and first called
upon Rotarian Zach Wright for a
word to the seniors, and Zach pro-
ceeded to tell them to "stay young. ="
To this happy little speech Class Pres
ident Callie B. Parr responded in be-
half of the seniors; and this young
spokesman, when he had concluded,
made every Rotarian doubly glad that
the club had been honored by the
presence of the class.
President Cromer was next pre-
sented by Rotarian Haskell Kibler,
and in his own inimitable manner re-
called a few memories Of q college
professor" His "reminiscences Of the
DAYS when he was member of the
faculty of Newberry college were
greatly enjoyed, and applauded ac-
cordingly.
Miss Stillwell, one of the fair CO.
eds, was then called upon for few
words and she responded in most
happy manner to the words of well
come extended by Rotarian Wright.
Rotarian Doug Weeks, whose clas-
s;fication is that of pill maker just
had TO say something about ellis and
Fills" and all who heard him agree
that he is we'll up on the subject. Doug
was followed by Rotar;an Bob Mayes,
whose fame as a story teller extends
to the four corners Of the earth, and
suffice it to say that Bob delivered the
goods on this occasion.
And where was Rotarian Earle
Babb during all this oratory and mer,
iriment? Gentle reader, the big
noise" was there with bells on, anc
it is needless to say that he ''stunted
to his hearts content. Lucky, m
deed, was the Rotarian who was for
tunate enough to escape the eagle-eye
and don't YOU fail TO obey orders OF
the official stunt-puller Of the club
and very few Rotes were numbered
among the lucky. Rotarians jim
Moon, Sid Derrick, George Summer
Harry Dominick and Ben Dorrity, BY
their artistic rendition of solos ant
duets ;ad infnitum ct ad nauseam0
proved conclusively to the seniors
as wen as to al! others who were 81
unfortunate as to be within hearing
distance of the recital, that singing
is not lost art in Newberry. Thl
part of the program was reserved TO
the last, which arrangement made l
possible for the ''eats" to be thor
oughly enjoyed.
The luncheon was served by Mine
Host RuIl0ck. of the NeWberry hotel
