The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1922-03-17

At $50 in the evening Sid anC
Charley were on hand for another
big sing to which the fellows heartily
responded. Mr.. Frank Moran gave q
short talk on "Why | Am at Confer
ence,' which was followed BY an ad.
dress, Some Common Elements ir
/ Uncommon Leadership" by Arm $
Allen of Seattle.
BY nine o'clock the next morning
the fellows were ready to go with
great enthusiasm. After the usual
! song service a short but stirring ad-
dress was made by Wellington Pegg
the high school superintendent OF
/ Wenatchee, concerning the "Price of
leadership" He pointed out that to
become a leader and amount to some
thing in life that it was necessary to
work and to sacrifice.
At ten o'clock the boys were as
signed to commissions, the Leaven-
worth and Manson delegates meeting
together under Mr., Allen. The essen
tials TO good leadership were pointed
out and discussed.
At twelve o'clock all the BOYS and
the leaders assembled along the side
of the Christian church for a picture
of the entire group. The pictures
turned out very well and were sold
for Csc each.
The inspiring talks and discussions
of the boys and their leaders were
continued in the afternoon From
3:45 to six o'clock the fellows spent
their time in the "Y" gymnasium and
swimming pool.
Two games of basketball were
nj
the visitors and the Wenatchee boys.
The first few minutes were interest
ing and the outcome looked doubtful
for either side. The Wenatchee quin-
tet held 3-point lead at the end Of
the half and held the Visitors scoreIess
the last half. The final score was
24-7.
Probably the most exciting game
was between the leaders and a bunch
of fellows from several of the towns
represented. The leaders team was
George Cole, Frank Moran. Sid Jones
Mr.. Sovereign, Tracy Strong and
Greenlee. At first it looked as though
it would be a walkaway for the young
fellows but they changed their lineup
the second half, which proved very
helpful to the leaders. The older
team steadily increased their score
under Tracy's fine passing and shoot
ing ability. The final score was 22-2l,
the leaders winning just a short time
before the final whistle blew.
The swimming pool was a very pop
ular place. Both the leaders and the
boys enjoyed splashing around and
ducking one another every so often
1t is said that Mr. Moran got wetter
than any of the rest of the fellows.
In the evening there was a banquet
at the Commercial Club with J. H
Oatey acting as toastmaster. The
best cooks in Wenatchee served the
conference delegates with a fine din
ner. The rest of the evening was
spent IN getting acquainted, singing
and cheers from the various delega-
tions. The Hawaiian Band of Pc
shastin entertained with some very
fine numbers. Officers for the com
ing year were elected by this years
conference, Wildly Of Wenatchee was
unanimously elected president. Nc
Dermott of Cashmere was elected Isl
vice president, George Rumohr of
Leavenworth was elected 2nd vice
president, and Kenneth Olds of Wen
atchee was elected secretary. After
several shorter addresses, Tracy
Strong gave an inspiring address,
TESTS that Test"
Each town met under a different
leader to determine what good work
might be done in each town during the
coming year The Leavenworth dele
cation was fortunate to meet under
Mr.. George B. Cole.
The boys then divided up in groups,
each one attending the church which
he desired. In the afternoon. there
was a song service and a heart to
heart talk to the boys by Mr. Moran
A large number of boys made their
great decision in life.
In the evening services We're held
in the Christian church. There were
testimonies by the boys as to what
good they had obtained at the con-
ference. The closing address was
made by Mr. George B. Cole.
It was followed by a fellowship
circle, all the fellows and the leaders
forming in a large circle passing the
friendship grip from one to another
until it had gone all the way around.
Invitations were made by Wenat-
chez and Leavenworth for the next
years conference. 1t is doubtful if
the conference will be held here in
Leavenworth but if it is we want to
try to make the boys feel at home
and show them that we are glad to
have them.
Probably all the boys who attended
the conference were greatly beneftel
and many obtained a new inspiration
and new vision which they shall car
ry with them all their lives.
