SLu0lOS NeleDTdLe DlcenteHnldl
The Colonial soiree held by the
Choral and Dramatic Association of
Holmes Wallace Studios on Tuesday,
February %, was a brilliant and de-
lightful event. Members of the club
and some of their guests wore very
charming colonial costumes and the
program presented informally dur
ing the evening, was Colonial and
patriotic in character.
The opening chorus, "Hail Column
bia," was sung after Miss Helen Folk
had read how it came to be written
in 1889. Mrs. Diefenbach played
MacDowell's "With Sweet Lavender"
and Mr.. Irwin Miller and chorus sang
"The Land of Washington" After
this came a scene from Constance
Darcy MacKay's George Washing
tons Fortune" in which Red Rowan
the gypsy, impersonated by Miss Delta
CAN'T, in a song and gypsy dance
tells the fortune of the young sur
veyor, George Washington, part
played by Clyde Miller. MacDowell's
'Log Cabin" was played by Miss Ma
bel Younkin; Mr.. A. J. Miller and the
chorus sang "The Yorktown Drum and
Fife March," and Miss Ruth Keller
read Emerson's poem, GA Nations
Strength" "Father of the Land We
Love-" written by George M. Cohan
and issued by the Bicentennial Com
mission for use in George Washing
ton celebrations, was sung by Mrs.
Harry Bender and chorus just as re-
freshments were served, and the Choir
US was repeated, everybody standing,
as toast to the memory of the
Father of His Country. A word con-
test came next, Miss Helen Folk re-
ceiving the lady's prize and Mr.. A. J.
Miller that of the gentleman.
Mr.. A. J. Miller and chorus sang
"The Flag of our Union" and the fes-
tivities of the evening came to close
with a Yankee Doodle dance in which
the members of the club and most
of the guests merrily joined.
Grantsville VS.. SOmerfeld
The Grantsville Town Trouncers

ity, but was defeated, the score being
26-16.
Y. P. U. Meets
The Young Peoples Union of the

the Lutheran social hall Tuesday ev-
ening with an attendance of thirty
members. Following the devotional

feature was series of contests which
were held by five opposing teams and
which were named for five famous
