Mrs. DEITY First President
Her plan was acted upon and Mrs.
w. E. Deity was elected the first
president and has ever since been ac-
lively interested in the club, helping
In every possible way to foster it as
a means to the growth of a knowl-
edge Of and love for good music.
The music of the clubs study was
devoted to music forms, the dance,
the sonata, etc, being featured on the
programs. On evening meeting was
given in courtesy to the husbands OF
club members and their friends.
In 1910 the Music club affiliated
with the National Federation of Mu-
sic Clubs at the earnest request of
Mrs. Nichols, who felt that this ac-
tion would insure permanent or
ganization. The national organization
directed the club to name state Of
ficer and Mrs. Lewis served in this
capacity until 1915.
From a small group OF 10 to a
membership including associates OF
over ESQ, the club has shown remark
able growth The meetings in the
homes of members have long since
been outgrown and the programs for
sometime past have been held in the

Of musical ability and from the first
has asked men of ability to join as
auxiliary members. Their obligation
is to serve on one program a year
They neither pay dues nor vote nor
hold office. but in all other respects
are entitled to the club privileges.
While Mrs. w. r. Battin was presi-
dent the club endeavored to foster
musical talent by offering in connec-
ton with the chamber of commerce
a prize for the best city song.
Under the term of office of Mrs
II. NJ. Fennemore the club inaug-
urated the junior club movement un-
der the leadership of Mrs. Thoma:
