Excerpts from the Herald
of 20 Years Ago

The young ladies of Sank Cen
tire gave leap year party Friday
evening. The function took place
in the Odd Fellows auditorium and
was a very pleasant affair. The
evening was stormy but the ladies
looked we'll after their charges, es-
corting them to and from the hall
tenderly, so that the dear Great
ures suffered no Inconvenience or
discomfort. The men were ar
rayed in the finest raiment their
Wardrobes afforded and the ladies
affirmed with numerous compll-
mentary adjectives that they look
ed "just too sweet for anything"

tell who was "the belle OF the
ball." but it was whispered about

and Leo Heifner ran neck and
neck for the honor. The party
was fine affair, the ladies easily
demonstrating their ability to con-
duct function of that kind on q
plane away above the ability OF
any "mere man" to criticise. The
music was excellent, being furnish
ed by Aliens orchestra. The ladies
saw to it that there were no oval
flowers" at any time during the
evening. Refreshments were serv.
ed during the evening and none
of the male guests were permitted
to go hungry. Twentyone couples
were present and all assert that il
was the most enjoyable function
that they have attended this sea-
son. The boys, it is said, would
like to have leap year come often.
