GIRL RESERVE BANQUET TO
FATHERS IS DECIDED SUCCESS

, Moore, was likened to the oppor-
tunities which come to US in life,
many of which we allow to drift
from us as sand Sits through, our
fingers, but which if we take ad-
vantage of them can, be used to
build up character as sano is used
in building up material things.
Lucille Wells, discussing "Near-
/ ing the Goal' recounted the ex-
periences of Girl Reserves in their
earlier years and enumerated the
advantages which thev have gained
as they .,ear the conclusion cf teeir
school course and active member
ship in the Reserves.
r. p. Moore responded to the
toast "Fulfillment,' declaring that
fulfillment is seldom achieved in a
lifetime and that new problems and
new aspirations arise as soon as we
achieve those for which we have
strived, and that it is the constant
striving for better things that
makes lire W0rthWhlie.
During the program trio com
posed of Claire Newkirk, Lottie
Self and Mary Lee Moses, delight
ed those present with two vocal
numbers and Villa Mae Roberts
rendered splendid piano selee-
ton.
Girl Reserve songs, in which the
dads joined, were interspersed
throughout the program and added
much to the spirit of the occasion.
Clever Decorations
The dinner, served by the moth
ers of the Reserves, made a big
hit with the dads and the daugh-
ters, too. The desert idea was
cleverly carried out in the table
decorations. Down either side of
the tables extended strips of paper,
representing the "trail Place
cards in the form of "Covcred
Wagons, and mile posts, directing
the course to the principles of the
Girl Reserves, aided the diners in
finding their proper places.
Cactus and flowers further en-
phasized the desert scheme. Buick
Underwood, in the role of cheer
leader led the fathers and daugh-
ters in cheers for the mothers who
provided the dinner, for the donors
who contributed provisions and for
several other things that seemed
worth cheering for. (She was our

broke two buttons off our vest.)

EFFECTIVE STORY
OF "THE MIRACLE"
TOLD AT MUSICALE

Featuring the story of "The Mir
acle," which was most charmingly
told BY Mrs. Frank r. Anderson, an
excellent program was presented at
the Academy of Music's Sunday
afternoon musicale yesterday. A
crowd which filled the academy
and among which residents of other
valley cities were noted, received
the program enthusiastically.
The program opened with a pipe
organ solo, "At Evening" Dudley
Buck), Elmer A. Todd at the organ
The delicacy and softness of this
selection made it admirable in its
creation of a proper mood for the
resume of 1.-THE Miracle. -
In most pleasing manner Mrs.
Anderson gave a brief history of
the worlds greatest stage produc-
tion. The origin of the play as a
14th century legend, first its ap-
pearance in London, and its recep.
tion there. its presentation in New
York City and something of the tre-
mendous scope of the undertaking
were included in Mrs. Anderson s
introduction.
An effective Interpretation of
Max Reinhardt s dramatic master
piece followed, during which Mrs.
Anderson related the story of the
nun who is lured from her convent
life and whose place is taken dur
ing her years of wandering in the
world by the statue of the Blessed
Virgin which comes to life and de-
scends from its pedestal in the ca
thedral.
Appropriate Organ Music
Adding to the beauty Of Mrs. An.
derson' s rendition was the organ
music of Mr.. Todd, and the chimes
played off stage by Miss Margaret
Lanier. Chopin S &c Sharp Minor
Polonnaise, Mr.. Todd again at the
crgan, followed the completion Of
Mrs. Anderson's review.
In. a group of three varied selee-
tions, Lettie Earley-Van Hoesen ap-
peared to decided advantage. For
her opening number she chose evil
lanelle,'' in which the swift flight
of the swallow was reproduced by
the delicate notes of the soloist s
coloratura soprano. "Songs My
Mother Sang to Me-" gave oppor-
tunity for variety and novelty, the
piano and pipe organ being used to
accompany this musical reading.
Miss Estelle Needham at the piano
furnished the instrumental motif,
with Mr.. Todd providing the back
ground for the old songs on the or
gan. In closing, Mrs. Van Hoesen
sang, "Open the Gates of the Tenn
pie, by Knapp.
A fine ensemble number for two
pianos and pipe organ completed
the successful one hour program.

| Once again the Girl Reserves OF
Ell Centre proved to their dads, the
worth of their organization and the
training that it gives them, at the
second annual father and daughter
banquet, given Saturday night III
the high school cafeteria.
Over 200 fathers and daughters
were at the banquet, some Of the
fathers being substitutes, but every
enc of the girls was the real genu
inc article. 1t is question which
group enjoyed the banquet the most,
the Girl Reserves, their dads, OF
the substitute dads.
; The substitutes certainly felt hon
ored in being invited to occupy such
distinguished places; the real faith
ers, undoubtedly appreciated their
good fortune in having such splen.

by their program showed that they
considered it worth while to go to
considerable trouble to make the
evening enjoyable for their dads.
Following the dinner, which was
interspersed with Girl Reserve and
familiar old-time songs, the Reserves
put on the program, for the. even,

''Our Desert Trails was the
title of the program, carrying out
very cleverly the idea of the desert

gress through it, Miss Lillian
Holiday in the office of promoter,
conducted the program.
Fannie Lee Hancock was the first
speaker, her title being "Adven-
turer.' She outlined tho adven-
ture of life and the efforts which
the Girl Reserves make to under
stand it and to live really worth
while lives founded on the cardinal
principles of Christianity.
John s. Carmichael in the role of
"Scout responded to that toast.
The dads of the girls are the scouts,
he said, whose duty and privilege
it is to guide the way for them,
help them over the difficult spots
on the trail of life and be examples
to them by their own deeds and
character.
Mrs. b. NJ. Gruwell, in the role Of
prophet, gave history of the Girl
Reserve organization in Ell Centre
and Imperiul valley, and outlined
the plans which it hopes to follow
to include in its membership a ma
jority of the girls in the valley.
