loving cup to be presented to the

The President, who had offered
two trophies for this year, now pres
ented two handsome silver pitchers
as prizes to the two best golfers.
T. A. Northrup and l.. NJ. Appel
were the happy recipients. Both
responded briefly but feelingly to
the ovation of applause given them.

carried out virtually as printed in
the Chieftain last week. Mr.. Appel

cup and the cup of life" Mr.. North

Radio" 1t was largely through the
activity of Mr. Steele that the radio
receiving set was to be presented

Thayer responded to his toast in
his usually happy manner. He
brought down the house when he
proceeded to prove that golf was
played in ancicnt times by the
Hebrews. He clinched his argument
by quoting Kings 9:2O: '4rhe
driving is like the driving of .Jehu,
the son of Nimshi, for he drivcth
furiously." ......
Two former members of the Club
at present non-residentS of Holly,
were called upon to speak: C. f.

said that the only distinction he
could claim was that he had intro,
duced to Holly her champion golf

ceiving set, beautiful expensive
apparatus valued at $3.50. The
judges called out twelve numbers
with the decision that the thir-
tcenth number called should be
awarded the prize. The company
set in expectant silence as the num-
hers were called off one by one. 1t
was a tense, breathless moment us
the thirteenth number was reached.
Then the announcement No. 2S!"
and the machine. prophetic OF many
latent hours of enjoyment, fell to
the lot of A. A. Morich.
