Dear Friends,
Am very happy that the Civic
! Club remembers me as one OF It's
members. I was very proud to
have belonged, as | know all OF

I having fine traditions. morale, and
wonderful times.
We that are away from home
thrive on the memories Of such IN
stitutions. | think Of those Thurs
day meeting fun we had plan
ming. out our projects. Perfect BAN
quets-chicken legs usually on the
i menu-never failed to be on the
cleanup committee also.
i Some day | shall be back to at
tend a meeting. When that time
comes, know that I will find the
same jolly atmosphere and your ac-
compllshments, the large and small
alike, will all be great.
Sincerely,

Dear Miss Quenemoen:
Thank you for your kind invita-
ton to the Civic Club alumni dim
ner on October |. | regret that it
is quite impossible for me to at
tend on that date.
was one of the original MEM
bers Of the Civic Club AS | recall
the Club was formed in 1927 which
is long time ago, and which means
Is years. | imagine that IS before
many of you came on the scene.
The Civic Club at that time stood
firmly for good citizenship. Any
, contribution toward that cause,
however small it seems, is more inn
portant now than ever before. May
. the organization continue its gooc
| work
. Best wishes for successful alum

! there for the dinner because | jus
know there will be some chicken
legs and apple pie to be had / hop,
| can be present for one Of you
! meetings this year though.
( | was very glad to hear that you
!, went ahead with the trophy case.
! tried for three years to get some
! thing done about it, but we neve
! seemed to have enough money. B,
! the things the club has done thu
past couple of years you must b.
: really more active than we eve
were I'm glad to hear this becaus,
after you get out Of school and int
, college you remember the thing
you did in Civic Club and Wher
you come back into the building anc
you see some little project the clul
sponsored it makes you feel prett,
good to think that you had a hant
! in it, | think you'll remember Incl
dents that happen in the club fol
: the rest of your life. I'll never for
get the time when we had lots o
2 company and we were having roas
f beef. Robert Neils was the presi
/ dent at the time, so he was dele
: gated to carve. He about had tht
I roast carved when his fork slipped
and the roast went down onto the
: floor. He never batted an eye bu
stuck his fork into the roast anc
started carving again. No one ever
cracked a smile. It's things like
that that you will remember.

one for you.
