neN@ yesterday at the San Carlos hotel,
1<awanis officers for the coming year
We're introduced TO the members by the
retiring officers. both present and past
presidents receiving tokens in the form
OF a beautiful Kiwanis button, signify
ing the positions which they hold in
the association.
Doctor Clarence Hutchinson, presi-
dent. 1920. presented the past-presi-
dents emblem to Big Chief Adrian
Langford, who accepted this with APP
propriate remarks, Chief Langford
then introduced the new president.
Fred w. Marsh. presenting him with
the Presidents button of 1922.
Mr.. Marsh responded with a talk on
Kiwanis ideals, a part Of which fol-
lows:
A man becomes a Kiwanis member
by Joining a Kiwanis Club. but he be-
comes a real Kiwanian only by catch
Ing the real Kiwanis spirit and allow
Ing his life to be inspired and moulded
BY its principles and purposes.
The strength OF our club lies in the
number Of Real Kiwanians there are in
the Kiwanis membership. Men who are
saturated and dominated by its ideals.
To get any real benefit out of XII
wants and to make ones contribution
to the club, every Kiwanian member
should be a real hiwanian.
Appreciation of Kiwanis ideals and
purposes comes only as a result OF
growth. We cannot expect each new
member to catch the spirit at once and
we must expect many backsliders, but
we heed at least an annual revival, the
renaissance Of a better Kiwanis.
would that / had the power of the
great orator, the Gift Of the preacher to
lift you men with me into the realm
OF ideals and to hold you there for an
entire year. What miracles could we
accomplish in civic development.
The best thing this club did the past
year was to take into its membership
five OF the finest men in all Pensacola,
orators and preachers of the first
water, and now that they have fully
absorbed the Kiwanis Spirit, we must
set them to work to lift US up and up
to the very gate way of Riwanis IDEAL
ism.
n suggest to the program committee
at least one sermon a month by one OF
our able parsons.
This club has reached a very high
plane indeed in xiwanis with its prayer
now and then, and often breaking into
song and with five parsons to preach
Idealism to us.
with the spirit OF. good Fellowship
and sincere friendship that has come to
the club by degrees, our next few years
should be our most successful.
In this development for the ensuing
year would stress three things:
Attendance is the basis. the Very
foundation on which all club develop
ment and activity is built. TO see
one-third OF the chairs vacant throws
an atmosphere OF gloom over the meet
ing ana things 60 flat TO see every
chair full puts the whole club on it's
tiptoe and there is a snap and go to
the meeting that spells success. will
present presently a plan fof improving
the attendance record, which the club
may act on
Service Committee assignments
should mean that every one of the five
members should give thorough and
sustained effort to the success of his
committee. You do not begin to APP
proach realization OF I<iwanis ideals
until YOU have learned the lesson that
in serving. with the best that is within
you. your city state and country in the
realization OF mass development and
city growth, you are at the same time
best serving yourself and your private
business.
Men, give more of your time work
increasingly, for the building and bet
terment of Old Pensacola. and you will
find it is the best days work of all for
your own business.
A greater interest in matters per-
tanning to business as an element of
good tactics toward sustaining the in

us devote AZ least one meeting
month to the discussing of concrete
business propositions Of vital interest
to the individual member in his bust

key to a greater and more prosperous
