Clayton Century Club News
The annual Valentine party held
by the club was given on Thurs
day, February 10th, in charge of
Mrs. Harvey Boggs. Mrs. Boggs
had a most interesting program in
which the whole group participat-
ed. Each guest was given val
entine and read her verse to the
group, the reading being intersper-
sed with music appropriate to the
day. The fact that the program
was different added greatly to its
interest. After the program re-
freshment were served. On Thurs
day, February 23rd, the club will
have Bible day in charge of Mrs.
John Ford and Mr.. Harry Stevens.
The speaker for the day will be
the Rev. Leon Ross of the Clay
ton NJ. E. Church. There will also
be a program of music, including
a solo, a duet, and some instru-
mental music. On March End
there will be a covered dish lunch
con. The last one was well at
tended and it is hoped that every
one will keep this date open.
