ROTARIANS AND LADIES
A STAR GAZING GO UP
NEAR WHERE THEY ARE


observatory, o'clock Tuesday night,
short business session in the library
building and inquisitive peerings at
the moon through the big Lowell OBJ
servatory telescope and at Jupiter and
its satellites through one of the small
telescopes, comprised the cheerful Ro-
tary club meeting for this week, the
Rotaryanns, of course, being along,
and two of them, the Misses McMullen
and Kathryn Beckwith with stringed
instruments, dispensing sweet har-
mony.
Someone built bonfire at point
affording a fine view of the city be-
meath and half-acre of Rotarians and
guests struck more or less graceful
poses while the things they had
brought to eat went blooey. Earl Sill
pher, chairman for the meeting, had
hot coffee by the barrel, sugar by the
ton and cream by the beer keg full
for all and sundry.
Vice President Fred Breen called
the business session to order in the
rotunda of the library building and
sepulcharly stated the time, place,
who, and what in for, and the roll was
called familiarly.
John Thompson, president of the
Needles club, crawled out from under
a pile of fur robes long enough to
extend cordial greetings and read a
letter he had received from Governor
Charlie Christy of the Eighth district
who said Flagstaff has the best func-
tioning club in the whole district.
Rev. FIR. C. Vabre told why no one
who dies in Needles is affected by
the temperature below.

ers, now baslxing in the shadow of the
spiked annheuser-busch in Saint Looey
while he attends the International Ro-
tary convention, read, as follows:
Wonderful inspiration to see and
mingle with Rotarians from the four
corners of the earth. Most represen-
tative body of high-class men. My
thoughts and best wishes with you to-
day. Greetings to you all. A breath
of cool air would be appreciated.
