BANQUET AND PROGRAM OF
SONGS, TALKS, COMEDY
STUNTS

Members of the Lions club turn
ed it into a night club Monday
They stepped out and entertained
their own wives in Lionesque style
at their dining hall in the Sherman
cafe and the Sherman palm room.
For the banquet two prettily ap-
pointed tables reached the length
of the long room. Decorations,
colorful and gay made the Thanks
giving season realistic with the fod-
der and the pumpkins and glim-
mering autumn lights.
The three delicious courses were
spread leisurely over the early
evening, with appropriate and
pleasing songs interspersed. AS
they entered the dining hall the
Lady Lions drew name slips. The
name each drew was to be that of
her dinner partner. Every one OF
them was lucky, for none drew her
own husband. President Lion Cat
lin sat at the head of the family
board-master of ceremonies, toast
master and end man. Stu Roses
orchestra played during the meal,
and accompanied some of the
songs. Ed. Krebsbach and Mrs.
Severson played for others. Mon
tana" and "Start 1t With a Smile"
were the ice crackers. And there
we're other vocal outbursts includ-
ing a vocal combat that Jared
the foundations of the Sherman,
Solomon Levi versus Spanish Cav
alier.
Lion President neatly and gal
antly welcomed the Lady Lions.
Lady Edith Johnson made a clever
and witty response that held the
mirror up to the natures of a num-
Der of the beasts. By this time
all were we'll broken in and had
learned Cat ONE expense) to cut
formalities. 1t was just plain Jane
and Lii and Hank and Bill.
John F. Cook was a special
guest of honor because of his ap-
preaching departure for Deadwood. !
S. D. The president expressed
the high esteem and also the deep
regret of his townsmen especially
those present, at losing a good cit
Hen.
The honor guest responded with
an expression of his deep appre-
citation. He voiced regret that Mrs.
Cook was not present. He SAID
that with the kind permission of
the company he would sing a we'll
known and popular song as a trib-
ute to his wife and her tribe. A
smile spread around the tables
and developed into audible laugh
ter as he took a swallow OF water
and opened his mouth to sing. But
from the first note he held them
spellbound." John has resided in
Wolf Point well onto Is years and
through all that time has guarded
well the secret, his special gift OF
a natural singing voice. No wonder
his gay audience gasped in sur
prise as their coarse outlaws died
on their lips when the sweet tones
and tender sentiments of "My Wild
Irish Rose" caressed their ears.
Everyone in the room was dumb
with astonishment-Al ave one.
AS the last charming note died
away the applause was d~eafening.
And there were contests-the
cranberry race and the turkey
game with Lady Krebsbach the
winner of the latter. And more
songs. A pair of talented infants,
much resembling DeWane and Ap-
pelgren in their years of cubhood,
rendered "Tm a Little Prairie
Flower in their childish treble.
The star act of the program was
reserved for the last. The -Four
Roman Beauties singing in cos
tune and shown in technicolor,
sang Eyes, We Wear Our Paja-
mas and responded with several
encores. The act was a scream
and was loudly applauded. A cou-
pie of Eds and Doc and Ray ad-
mitted it was great fun. After
closing the dining hall program
with "Lions, Till We Meet Again"
many of the company went to the
palm room and spent an hour OF
or two in dancing.
1t was the common sentiment
that the first Ladies Night" had
paved the way for more to come.
The committees, on banquet, dec
orations, and entertainment were
warmly congratulated on the sue
cess of their plans.
