ROTARY LUNCHEON

I. e. o O. @ O. q O. o @ o e g, 9 I. g
The faculty Of the Newberry col
lege summer school, several other
inyitd guests, the Newberry Rotary
club, an elegant luncheon served a Ia
Rul!cck, and an attractive program:
Result-One Of the finest meetings
that has ever come the way Of the
local Rotarians The meeting was
held in the grill room Of the New
berry hotel on Tuesday at 80
o'clock, and fer the hour and quar-
ter allotted there was something do
ing all the time, with Rotarian-Pres-
ident Haskell Kibler pulling the
strings. Beautiful favors, bearing
the Rotary emblem in colors, were
presented to the Rotey and guests.
The tasles were decorated with pot
plants and cut flowers, which were
arranged only as Rotar:an Hal Kohn
can do it.
An innovation at this meeting
was the flag salute, which was done
while 'America" was being sung by
the assemblage The American flag,
which stood at the rear Of tne pres
iGeat, was raised as the Rotarlans
and guests stood at attention and
sang "America," th:., feature being
very impressive. This feature will
be a regular part of the clubs pro-
gram in the future.
After thanks had been returned
by Rotarian Earle Babb, original
limericks were recited by Rotarian
B;ll Wallace, the premier limerick
er" of the Newberry Rotary club,
and Prof. Gilbert P. Voigt, of the
summer school faculty, whose pro-
duction places him in the front rank
of limerick artists. 1t will be seen
that t2e limericks, which follow,
were very apropos-and it lis need
less to designate which was written
by Rotarian Wallace and which by
Prof. Voigt, guest:
We're not capitalists, statesmen, or
| stars,
! We don't ride in the higher priced
| cars,
But we could not hope to find
A welcome more kind
Were we Just now landed from Mars.
There's q college professor named
jim;
He does everything with vim.
He directs the summer school
According to rule,
And not according to whim.
There is no telling how the secre-
tary, Hal Kohn, is going to call the
roll of the club. Sometimes he calls
the names of the members, at other
times he calls it by vocations. At
Tuesdays luncheon he called the tel
eDhone numbers Of the members and,
actually some of the members did
not know when to respond Now, the
Rotes are wondering just what meth
Cd will be employed by the energet-
ic secretary at the next meeting, but
the likelihood is that the members
will be called upon to respond to the
rcll call by standing on their heads!
The address of welcome was de-
iivered by Rotarian Zach Wright
and it is needless to say that the
guests felt perfectly "at home" after
the warm wore; OF welcome of this
Rotc had been spoken. The response
was made by DR.. w. K Cotwald of
the summer school faculty who, in a
few well chosen words, expressed the
appreciation Of the faculty and 9TH
cr guests OF the Rotarans' hospital

"n,Iy Summer School ii'roteges"
was the subject assigned to Rotarian
Sid Derrick, and he proceeded, in
his inim;tably-j -jocular manner. to IN
troduce the members Of the faculty.
in the most serious moments of this
Rotci; talk, he credited a large
measure of the success of the sum-
mcr school TO Rotarian jim Kinard,
director of the school, who has been
jndefatigable in his efforts to make
this second year of the school pro
nounced success. The fact that the
membership H.; increased from
eighty last year to one hundred and
fifty this session is evidence enough
that Rotarian Kinard's efforts have
been crowned with the success fol
