HOYS ENTERTAIN CHOIR.
Last. Thursday night, after choir
I practice, the K. H. Class (Knights of
Honor! of the Methodist Sunday
School entertained the choir in the
church basement. The boy* eertainly
had Rn excellent lunch prepared, con
sisting of hamburgers, with all the
trimmings, and coffee and cocoa. 'We'll
say Eol> Fry i« some hamburger eeok,
and with Omie, Paul, Howard, and
Earnest piling on salt, pepper, mus-
tard, pickles nd onions, they were
certainly fine. The choir thanks the
boys heartily, and hone there may be
many more such occasions.
Afterward, while some of the boys
wei-e having s game of baskt+iall,
some of the ladies of the choir slipped
in and washed the dishes and we didn't
have a single young man lamenting
the fact that he was deprived of that
pleasure.
