The Waterbury Democrat., 1935-05-01

More than four hundred attended the "silk sock" social which was given at the gymnasium of Sprague Grammar School last night by the Auxiliary Unit of Casper s. Davis Post of the American Legion, in Waterville. The affair was one of the most enjoyable given in Water- vile in many months. The admis- sion token was a small silk sock which had been distributed by the auxiliary. Into the sock the indi- vidual using 1t was requested 70 deposit coins equalling in amount twice the size of his or her sock. An excellent program of sixteen numbers, presented by 8 juvenile troupe of twenty -one, who had been coached by Mrs John M. McMahon, Mrs Edward Martin and Clifford D. Northrop, presented a program of real merit. MT Northrop offi-' ciated as master of ceremonies Tn his inimitable manner, appearing Tn his favorite black-face role and en- livening the entire. program with his humorous santics.
 Song numbers were presented by the Six Aces, Louis Stevens, Jean Caldwell, James McMahon, Dolly and June Cook, Johnny Martin, Doris Hughes, Jackie Seery, ana Milton Jones, while dance numbers were done by Barbara Rogets, Anne Herman, Beverley Northrop, Marjorie Albon, Ellen McMahon, Peggy Heaney, Lois Truelove ana the charming Ruth Martin. The performers presented their num- ,bers in a most finished style and brought credit, not only to them selves, but also to those who had prepared the program in an unbe- nevably short rehearsal period. An outstanding feature of the program was the musical number presented by the Hillbillies of the Casper s. Davis Post Fife, Drum and Bugle Corps.
 Following the entertainment program there was dancing for those who desired it with music furnished by electrical transcript 'tion and amplified to the volhme of a full orchestra. The stage was reserved for those who desired to play cards and there were several tables of bridge, pinochle and other games, Home made candies and soda were sold and a trash and treasure" table was operated. The proceeds from the social are to be used by the Unit in meeting It's share of the cost of the set of col ors which are being purchased by the units of the New Haven Coun- ty district.
 All members of the unit are re- minded of the special meeting which has been called for Monday evening of next week. It will open at seven o'clock at the rooms of the Fife, Drum and Bugle Corps on upper Thomaston avenue.
