lowing were present: Mesdames
Wriston Lee, Frank Farley, j. II.
Beckiey, George Wilson. d. L. Mid
dleton and Bert'e Gaddy. The meet
ing is attractively given below by the
secretary, Mrs. y. NJ. Redfern:
Il have always tried to keep in style
And do the things that are worth
while
So my minutes in verse did write,
know you will think they are a
sight.
Our club met Thursday with Aida
Farley,
We knew full well she'd treat US
squarely.
Her home is a place we all love to
go,
Anyone, in the club will tell you so.
Fay the meeting to order did call
with poise
And we did not make one bit Of
noise,
While the roll was called and events
read
Of interesting deeds of living and
dead.
"The minutes of last meeting were
very condensed
So as not to give any one any offense.
People of the south we are studying
this year,
Enough about them we can't ever
/ hear.
Allie had a paper on Benjamin Sledd,
His works still live tho he is dead.
He was born and lived in the Old
North State.
He did lots Of good at any rate.
William Thor;on Whitsett was an
other great son.
Kate wrote about him-who made
some mon
Writing beautiful poems that rhyme
They don't even come in the class
with mine.
Henry Jerome Stoekard every one
really knew
"reminiscences Estelle gave, not onl!
few
The tributes they paid him were SIM
ply grand
In forming their characters he had a
hand.
This ended the program for this
time
But the meeting wasn't over, please
bear in mind,
For Aida and jamie and Kate Soor
came
With dishes and walters that won
them fame.
There were sandwiches, pickles and
salad galore
And to be real honest we all wanted
more.
Ambrosia with cream and Angel cake
Food for the gods" of which we par.
take.
Visitors for the afternoon numbered
six,
With other people we like to mix
We had such a good time we felt 81
free
Every one in the room was talking
but me?
Our club is not large-we are only
a few,
We are very afraid Of any one new
Twelve members still we try to hold
Remember, please, we are twen.y
years old,
I'VE took our name from the grea
Henry Van Dyke.
We can't ever be like him to saw,
our life,
But we will strive on and Oh to d,
our best,
Here's hoping we will keep up witt
the rest"
