captain, Fern Akeley manager, Marie
Bisson, Albertine Chabot, Helen
Groder Louise Stinehfeld, Helen
Ames, Phyllis Whiting, zella Demo
and Miss Christine Bisson accompan-
led the girls as chaperone and referee.

There was little interest evinced in
the citizens meeting to have been
held Monday evening at the fire de-
partment building with the members
of the fire department present. Only
two or three responded to the invita-
ton. The meeting was called with
the idea of having a conference be-
tween the iremen and the citizens
and it is to be regretted that there
was not a. larger attendance. Some
excuse might be offered possibly
from the fact that meetings of the
Blue Lodge Masons and Maccabees
were held the same night, while the
Pioneer Past Noble Grands Associa-
ton and Sorosis each observed their
annual gentlemen nights. 1t seems
that there arc not nights enough to
go around in Skowhegan.
