Unfortunately the weather man double
crossed us and all activities had to be
postponed until Sunday. There was, however,
a happy crowd r't the dance that evening
where the very sweet and attractive Miss
Dorothy Beales was presented as Miss Fourth
of July, with Commander Coryell as her
partner, Miss Beales led the gran^ march,
a most colorful promenade of flushed and
happy ladies on the arms of their proud
escorts,
Sunday was ideal. At two o’clock the
colors were raised on the school -flag staff
out since the Fourth -was past, and hardly
the proper occasion for a'patriotic speech
Captain Blanchard asked that his address
bo cancelled.- Immediately following the
flag raising fourteen eager boys Sgg hair
xjuiuy, uiuj pies • men
little girls and tiny lads ate ice
cream cones against time. Names
of the winners wore not recorded,
hut right hero is a good time for
the Committee to make an apology.
During the morning of the Fourth
the announcement was made (and
carried out) that all contestants
would receive a dime apiece even
if they didn't get in on the lar
ger prizes. It was intended to
carry out the same pl-n on Sunday
afternoon and a pocket full of
dim^s was gathered to be distri
buted as indicated, but in the
rush of detail the consolation
prigos wero overlooked. The corn
injLuu^v; jlo very curry ma
promises all the little fel
lows and girls that ‘it was
strictly an oversight.
Ladies competed in rip
ping the peeling off potato
es and in bashing (that’s
the proper word) ton nails
into a plank. Again on
Brooklyn Avenue jumps,
races and a tug-of-wnr 'were
held. After that came the
|fights, ' Some of the little
■shavers put up real scraps
and while none got hurt it
looed as though some per- I
sonal differences y/crc being
settled there in the rins.
All in all it was a pretty
busy afternoon.
