Plans are rapidly being perfected for
the second annual New Years cabaret.
to be held in the high school gym
nasium the last night of this year.
to dine and celebrate the incoming
OF 1882 with big party. This coming
social event promises to wind up the
years social calendar and institute
that of the new, in way that will
be difficult to surpass.
With Mr.. and Mrs. E. H. Miller as
general chairmen, the following COM
mittee heads are working everything
out to the smallest detail. Gentlemen
OF the Island are lending their active
service this year, as we'll. The dinner
chairmen are Mr.. and Mrs. G. j,
Robinson, with Mrs. E. Gates as table
chairman. On decorations, Mr.. and
Mrs. A. T. Bacchus; the walters. all
high school boys, will be under charge
OF Mr.. and Mrs. W. D. covington.
Tickets will be handled by MIR. and
Mrs. VIM. Steeples; music by Mr.. and
Mrs. Digby Williams, and publicity by
Mrs. Kate Forbes. Don Parker and
Miss Marjorie Stanley will look after
the special entertainment features;
the check room will be handled by Mr..
and Mrs. Ben Williams; Mr.. and Mrs.
J, w. Roberts will be in charge of
transportation and expenses.
Mr.. and Mrs. Wallace Beall are
chairmen of the Treasure Chest"
committee which takes the place of
last years Wishing Well" Ably as
sisting them are Mr.. and Mrs. Harris
Ward, Jr, who are working hard,
soliciting donations for the Chest" A
number of pretty Island girls, CARRIED
as feminine pirates, will exercise their
wiles to separate patrons from their
pieces of eight" in exchange for the
contents of the Treasure Chest"
Efforts will be made to surpass last
years party in every respect. Profit
ing by the few small errors of last
year, everything is planned so as to
ensure dinner being served promptly,
beginning at seven o'clock, and served
hot. The dinner itself will consist of
four courses, fruit cocktails, salad,
main course and dessert. With Mrs.
o. L. Evans and Mrs. shattuck in the
kitchen it is certain everything will
be delicious and abundant.
AS plans are made but for $50
guests, it is specially requested that
table reservations be made as early as
possible. Hostesses, too, are asked to
furnish everything for their individual
tables, all dishes as well as decora-
lions. The food will be placed on
warmed platters and serving dishes
in the kitchen, sufficient for each
tables serving, and the hostess will
serve her table from these dishes
brought to her table by the waiter.
1hls plan Will prevent each hostess'S
dishes returning to the kitchen and
the aftermath, tedious search for
her own, following the feast. Hostesses
are also requested, so far as possible,
to completely set and decorate their
table during the afternoon.
Last year some unfavorable COM
ment was occasioned because some
guests provided themselves with New
Years cheer" It is requested that
nothing of this nature be brought this
year. If there is, it would mean that
in the future the high school could
not be available as place from which
to hold this pleasing public event.
The eagerness with which this COM
Ing event is being anticipated promises
