The new chairmen are already
planning their programs, Miss I'll
| ton having already held a meeting
of her music department on Satur-
day afternoon.
The presidents report follows:
There are many things l would
like to say this last afternoon of my
service as your president that per-
haps do not quite fit in a report. l
| want to express an appreciation to
every member for her splendid help
and also to tell you how happy l
have been made these past W
years by your wonderful co-opera-
ton. Mrs. Lee said we were a per-
feet club and l believe we are near
perfection in nan ways, perhaps be-
we are small in numbers. each
member feels her greater respon-
sibility of membership and surely to
a greater sense of friendllness.
Like a large family each possesses
individuality and may not always
take the same viewpoint in details,
but we are all as n in working for
the greater development of u club.
when visiting the larger clubs
they seem amazed when J. report
IL average attendance of members
at our regular meetings and it GER
tainly compares very favorab bly, to
their attendance even at festive
events. The Keyport. Literary Club
held twenty meetings the past year,
arranged six department chairmen,
the first being a musical in memory
of Caruso.
"At the second. College Day. Dean
Douglas told us of the Woman's
State College and Professor w. E.
Bilderback, of the Keyport schools,
spoke of some of the needs of our
schools. We enjoyed some beautiful
songs in chorus by the high school
| girls who were afterward invited to
meet the Dean. We hope we may
have been influential to some in
| joining the college after their in
formal talk with Dean Douglas at
the reception which followed the
meeting.
Two new features this year were
a guest day and an afternoon de-
! voted to banking. The privilege of
the guest day was given by Mrs.
James T. Walling, the hostess. By
her generosity we enjoyed hearing
Mrs. Clayton D. Lee. the vice presi-
dent of the State Federation of
Women's Clubs, and Mrs. Prickett,
the third district vice president, and
were greatly inspired by their mes
sages. We also gained (shall i say
wideD a reputation as wonderful
cake makers.
"Mr. Armstrong, of the Keyport
Banking Company, impaired in a
remarkably clear way. the knowl-
edge of banking necessary for wom-
en- and displayed great patience in
answering many questions after his
talk. We held our first religious
meeting in 1921 and it proved such
a success we hope always to have
a meeting of this character IN our
year hook. Rev. A. G. Brady was
invited to come to US this year and
he lectured on the Book of Psalms,
which proved an intellectual treat.
AT u legislative meeting, Mrs.
Beatrice NJ. Stern very graciously
came to us at a few hours notice to
take the place of Mrs. Peloubet who
was detained by illness. She told us
what women can do for good legisia-
ton and also by answering ques-
tons made clear many perpiexing
things about political matters which
are of such vital interest to the
women of today.
