OF the arrangement committee are
glanced over. With "Pox" Booz,

Steve" Somogyi and Jack" Klein
in charge Of a party, it could not be
other than a big hit. If the Lions
and %lionesses (for the wives and lady
friends of the Lions were also on
hand tc enjoy the fun had set their
hearts on having a good time they
were surely not disappointed. The
committee did everything up brown.
Ii is seldom that realization equals
expectations in an affair of this kind,
but there was an exception to the
general rule in this particular in

having a good time and they found
everything such as to assist in max

dispensers and before many minutes
these adept musicians and entertain
ers had the entire assemblage hum
ming the tunes with the orchestra
and swaying with the catchy strains
of music, finding it impossible to sit
still and disregard the music and
songs.

and the men received novelty hats
which were worn at rakish angles
Throughout the dinner and dancing.
