Mrs. Katherine Merhar accompanied
the Ministries in their several songs and
furnished the music for the olio and
specialties in which John Fink, guitar
specialist; John Skule, Bernard Hutar
and Joseph Senta, the musical trio,
sang several songs. Joe Kuzma with
the Merry Has Broken
Down" song was forced to respond to
repeated encores.
The entire performance of the young
comedians was received with enthusi-
astic applause and many spaSmodic out
bursts OF laughter greeted the quips
and sallies at the expense of the dele
gates on the program.
Following the brief business session,
Saturday morning, no concerted pro-
gram of entertainment was scheduled
for the afternoon. The thermometer
showed 100 in the shade and while a
trip over the Grant McMahan Boule-
ward and to White Iron lake was sched-
uled, the delegates did the best they
could to keep cool although many of
them visited scenic points in and about
the city, the majority were satisfied to
be at ease and sought the cool confines
| Of the theatres, bathing beaches and
other spots.
During Saturday night and early
Sunday morning a violent electrical
storm, accompanied by downpour of
rain, took place. The storm followed
the intense heat of Saturday and con-
siderable damage was done to gardens,
summer cottages and surrounding
trees. 1t looked very much at daylight
Sunday morning, if the picnic might be
called off but by o'clock the sun came
out and most ideal day resulted.
With parade at one o'clock, headed
by the colors, a procession composed of
the Juvenile Band; the supreme officers;
the Sc delegates, and members of the
juvenile fraternity from Ely, Tower and
Mesaba range towns; the Ely Drum and
Bugle Corps, passed down Sheridan
Street from the Home Office, where the
parade formed, to the depot where
BUSES and cars took the party to Sandy
Point.
At Sandy Point, hundreds of cars had
preceded and followed the parade, park
ing space was at premium and cars
were crowded along the way from the
Pioneer engine house to every parking
spot on Sandy Point. Many had ar
rived from the range and Duluth for
the picnic.
! Anton zbasnik, supreme secretary
acted as master of ceremonies and in
troduced Mayor Peshel who extended
| cordial welcome to the visitors; Presi-
| dent Bartel and Trustee Vranichar &C
knowledged their introduction with
short addresses. Short talks were also
given by several of the delegates dur
ing the introduction of the IS members.
The Ely Municipal Band played selec-
tons and the afternoon was most
pleasantly spent by all in dancing at
the pavilion to the music of Frank
Kromar's orchestra. The pavilion was
crowded with merry dancers until mid
night when the final notes of the or
chestra were played.
Upon their departure, Monday after
noon, the delegates expressed their de-
sire to be chosen again next year,
claiming they had the time of their
lives at this the second annual affair
of this kind. Those who came in con-
tact with the party of boys and girls
also expressed their desire to have
them here again. Not a dull moment
was experienced during the four days
and nothing happened to mar the en-
poyable event. The visitors were i'm
pressed with Ely and it's hoSpitable
people and Ely people were favorably
impressed with the delegates.
