WITH PLEASURE
State Historical Society ys

The semi-monthly noon luncheon of
the Wausau Rotary club was held at
St Johns Guild hall, and there were
nearly 100 per cent. of the members
present, with John Sullivan, president,
presiding on Monday.
The song selections were good and
indicative of the business before the
club-the retiring of the old and the
incoming of the new administration
and We're sung with vim, so much
that the president of Lombard College,
who was present as a guest of Rev.
VIM. j. Taylor, was constrained to say
that he had never heard club sing
with such fervor.
Installation
The business of the day was prin-
eipally the installation of new officers
and hearing the report of the auditing
committee.
The retiring president briefly re-
viewed the work Of the club during
his administration, and making few
splendid suggestions as to the future
welfare and success of the club, he
then turned over the gavel to the in
coming president, A. p Woodson, who
in a few words acknowledged the
honor conferred, and that his efforts
would be to the end that the best in
terests of the club would be conserved.
The balance of the new officers in
stalled were:
ce-President-Geo. Philips.
Secretary--V. Atherton.
Treasurer-H. G. Berger.
Sergeant at Arms-A. NJ. Olson.
Emblem OF Authority
The installation of the latter was
conducted by the outgoing sergeant at
arms, George Bennett and was very
impressive, affecting the risibilities of
all Rotarians, especially when the
large silver star, the emblem of au-
thority, was pinned to the lapel of his
coat.
Directors. A. Sullivan, II. A. Kie-
fer w. b. Heinemann, Thos. Ryan
and Charles Wegner.
Joseph f. Smith and f. E. Bump,
auditing committee, submitted their
report which showed the books of the
| club were correct in every particular.
They complimented the outgoing se-
cretary, Harry Kiefer, for the excel
lent system he had inaugurated in
keeping the accounts. They made
several suggestions with reference to
reducing the annual dues, mourning
debts, payment Of bills, ETC., which
were turned over to the board of di-
rectors, to be reported on at the next
meeting Of the club.
A Dinner Soon
| A committee consisting of A. III.
Zimmerman and l.. A. Pradt to confer
with committee of the Kiwanis club,
with reference to paying off an obli-
cation entailed by the latter club de-
feating the Rotarians in a game of
volley ball, gave a report. The COM
mittee reported that the Kiwanians
were to be entertained by the Rotary
club whenever that club was ready
and would set the date
| The matter of boy scout picnic
was referred to and briefly discussed.
Geo. Driesbach, Boy Scout manager,
gave brief talk on the Boy Scout
circus held on Saturday. He said that
there were twenty-one trops repre-
sented, which included the Boy Scout
band of Marshfeld; that it was not as
successful as he would have wished as
there were only 800 Boy Scouts Of the
county present, when there are 621
registered. Next winter he said there
would be another event of this kind at
which he expected 1000 boys present
Karl Mathie was the new member
introduced and was received by an
ovation which had only one meaning:
I'VE are glad to have you with u.s."
