event, and the merriment reigning
was sufficient to utterly disprove
the jinx reputed to follow that
number.
The evening was spent playing
various games. One of the most
hilarious events was a pie eating
contest in which n number of the
lads competed, much to the sorrow
of their compilations, for the pies
were blackberry. Selwin Bowles
and Victor Hetzel were at last
voted the winners Of the contest.
Refreshments were served at the
close of the affair by Mrs. Worthy
and Mrs. s. o. Lingo.
