The list of clubs. meetings at reg
ular intervals during the weeks and
months is fast shrinking and nearly
all of the clubs have closed or are
closing their seasons, not to open
them again until the early and late
fall. Last night the Girls Club adj
journed until next October with a
meeting in the auditorium of the
Public Library at which time new
officers were elected 70 the coming
year.
A. the unanimous decision of the
club, Miss LaVerne DeHamm, whose
work as a director of the club has
merited her unstinted praise stree
the club was organized some years
ago, was chosen to head the organ
ization in all of its undertakings
in future season of 1921-22. Miss
Claire Pfeiffer and Miss Jane War
rem were unanimously chosen first
and second vice presidents respec-
lively. and the other officers were
lected as follows:
Miss Rose Sacarny, recording Sec
rotary; Miss Ruth Macan. cores
bonding secretary: Miss Clara Gill,
declarations secretary; Miss Eleanor
Mead, doorkeeper; Mrs. l. J. REIN
ers, Mrs. Arthur johnson, Miss
+ RANGES I1dICb, MISS IiNilip
Miss Ruth Johnson, Miss II. NJ.
Grannis and Miss Elsie Bernard. di-
rectors.
At an opportune time during h
course of the business in the evening
Miss H. NJ. Grannis, former presi-
dent of the club. with a few sincere
words, so characteristic of this sue
cessful president. gave up the cnalr
to Miss DeHamm, leaving the clup
with the message to Garry on, IL
nally, finally-and finally!' Miss
Grannis has taken the club through
a most successful year. a year that
has paved the way for great and
greater things. Too much cannot De
said or written for untiring efforts.
Miss DeHamm accepted the chair
most graciously and in a short
speech gave all of the members pres
emf. confidence that the club will be
a bigger and better club in the COM
ing year. $3.50
Yearly reports took up a large
part of the meeting and a report or
the recent comedy given in the Ma
iestic theatre last week. The yearly
reports showed the club to be in
excellent condition in nearly every
department while the financial re-
port of the play pleasantly surprised
all who were present. AS a result
of the musical comedy given for the
benefit of a Y. w. C. A, the memo
rial fund will be just about $1oo
nearer it's gold after the theatre ex-
penses of $500 and other incidentals
are paid and after the John Rogers
Producing Company has received its
halt of the net proceeds. MRS.
Relmers, general chairman of the
comedy, gave a detailed financial
report of all of the money involved
and considering the amount OF the
expenses, the comedy was a huge
financial success. With the money
that is now on hand in the fund,
s755, plus the results of the comedy
the memorial fund is now $1,455.
Further discussion ensued con-
corning the repetition of the com
edy for a benefit performance but
no definite decision could be def
nitely reached until after further
communication with the Rogers
Company. The meeting. which was
one of the largest of the past year
concluded with a jolly hour in which
the refreshments committee served
cake and ice cream. The club mas
| adjourned until the fall when it will
take up the old work with renewed
vigor and the new set of officers VIII
reign supreme.
