written on it. There were about one
hundred and sixty persons present, in
GLIDING the Rotarians, the Rotary
AIMS and the visiting teachers. At
ter all were registered the crowd filed
to the dining room where sumptu-
Gus banquet was served. the crowd
filling in between courses with the
singing Of Rotary songs.
When the supper was completed
Tom Nugent, as POSTMASTER, intro
duced Swart Henry, as chairman of
the Boys Work committee, who gave
those present comprehensive account
of the club for the betterment of the
boys in the city during the coming
year, one of the main objects of the
club along these lines being to keep
the boys of the city in school until
they have at least completed High
school.
Swart was followed by George Han
ma who expressed the appreciation of
the city teachers for the opportunity
of attending the meeting last night.
George dwelt on the increased enroll
ment in the local High school this
year and read some interesting sta
tistics showing that very few young
people in the city who had completed
the eighth grade had failed to contin-
ne their work in High school.
Father John Baker, while he re-
GREETED the necessity for the absence
of the teachers from St. GATHERINGS
school, expressed their gratitude for
the invitation which had been extend
ed to them and assured the club men,
bers that he was pleased at an oppor-
tunity of addressing the club. Rev.
Baker said that, while there was GER
tain amount of jealousy in other cit
les between the public schools and the
parochial schools, he was pleased to
state that such q condition did not ex-
list here, all schools working in perfect
harmony. Father Bakers talk was
one of the most enjoyable of the eve
ming.
Carl Allen spoke briefly in behalf
of the college faculty and expressed
their pleasure at being present at the
meeting. Carl's talk was followed by
a beautiful solo by Miss Dorothy Hea-
ly, director Of music in the city schools
her selection being ''Possession". The
selection was we'll rendered and pleas
ed the crowd greatly, bringing forth a
hearty encore to which she responded.
The principal speaker Of the evening
was B. H. kroeze, president of James
town College. He spoke at length on
educational matters and, in bringing
out points in his talk, told of his re-
cent trip abroad where he visited some
of the most famous art galleries in the
world.
The program was concluded by
vocal solo by Mrs. Florence Hedstrum
Morsbach who rendered the selection,
''Love's In My Heart" feelingly and
in a very capable manner. This was
the first opportunity many Of the To-
cal people have had to hear Mrs. Mos
bach since her return from Italy where
she has been studying for the past
year and a half. That her selection
pleased was shown by the fact that
she was heartily encored. After her
second selection she declined to ans
wer to the applause and the program
was completed.
The meeting last night was enliv-
ened somewhat by the presentation of
a costly gift to President Carl Allen
in appreciation of his work in the city.
The presentation speech was made by
Charlie Robertson, Sergeant at Arms
Lee Ferguson rendering the gift, a
beautiful cut glass water set, to Carl.
However, an accident married the pre-
sentation and, in some unexplained
manner, the gift was dropped and
completely destroyed. Tom Nugent at
tempted to condole Carl on his loss
but before he could complete his ex-
pressions of regret an extra edition of
the Tines-Record was brought to the
dining hall and copies presented to
each guest, showing the wonderful
service offered by this paper.
At the conclusion of the program a
few we'll chosen words by Tom Nugent
and a song by the crowd concluded
one Of the most enjoyable and the
largest entertainment in the history of
the local club.
