SPIRIT OF HALLOWEEN
RULED DER ROTARTANS
Continued from Page One)

genial George Todd, governor of this
43rd district of Rotary International,
was the special guest of honor, and
after some singing and short felicitu-
Gus talks by President C. B. Wilson
and Mr.. Koch, he spoke for few
| minutes. He praised the local club for
its widely-known pep and enthusiasm
and left several helpful thoughts,
among them that Rotarians' main
points of contact with their commune
ties, and Americas main points of
contact with other nations is through
business; hence everything that is
done to make business more human,
more ethical, more considerate of the
rights of all and more of real service,
the greater the benefit to each COM
munity, the nation and humanity u
general.
A mysterious lady, introduced as
Miss Muriel Hastings of Prescott,
who charged that Secretary Frank
Chisholm had promised to take her to
the dance, then left her waiting at
the hotel" was brought in. She acted
like lady, all right, though her
bodice did come undone and her
skirts were rather shorter than even
present day conventions prescribe.
There was much speculation as to her
identity, but gradually as the evening
wore away it became known that she
was not at all what she seemed. She
was proven to be fakess of the deep
est dye. For "she" was none other
than Ray Simpson.
Mr.. Koch reviewed the history of
the local club and called on each of
! the charter members present to stand
and be looked at, which they did with
varying degrees of composure.
Roger Birdseye and Fred Breen,
both devils, that is; speaking, of their
costumes, of course, in which they
looked like hell, did duet speaking
part in which Roger did all the speak
ing and Fred posed diabolically.
A lot of the ladies were lined up,
the lights went out, and George H.
Myers recited a gruesome tale to them
about a dead man and handed them
his ears and hands and hair, while
they shrieked distressingly.
Mrs. John G. Verkamp, Miss Selma
Aas, w. NJ. Cady Jr., and Walter
Bennett quartetted very. niftily "My
Wild Irish Rose"
Some of the couples assorted at the
will of the chairman, had to do solo
waltZes, or duet waltzes, if you prefer
to stick to the exact facts. They were

VanNess, George Todd and Mrs. Ed
Babbitt, G. B. and Mrs. Wilson, Del

Kept scurrying around carrying out
the whilom dictates of the autocrat of
the dinner table.
Mrs. I. E. Pollock and Mrs. All San
ford were designated judges of the
mems costumes and Governor Todd,
President Wilson and Rev. III. F. Soft
ley of the women's costumes. After
parades, Mrs. Roger Birdseye, a
charming Chinese maiden, and Mrs.
Del Strong, a loyal Rotaryam, were
adjudged the prizewinners among the
ladies and Joe B. Rickel and Joe F.
Schmidt, both inimitable Hebrews, the
homeliest among the men, got the
string of wiennies and the hunk of
cheese.
There were too darned many things
happening, and too darned fast, to tell
about every darned one of them. Let
