South Huron Youth For Christ held its first ever Mystery Supper for area youth on May 27 at Goderich. Ron Westlake, director, welcomed the guests to the Hawaiian Luau. Everyone selected 20 out of 21 items for the three course meal, in the order they wished them to be served, from clues. Often there were bursts of laughter when one of the guests was served, for example, a knife, fork, spoon, celery and a packet of black pepper, exactly what he had ordered! Dur- ing the second and third courses however, he would be rewarded with some of the other menu items such as baked beans, ham, scalloped potatoes, pie and ice cream. To his dismay though, he would find out that he had to eat them with his hands, or whatever ingenious item he could think of such as his cup (if he had ordered one) because his utensils had gone back to the kitchen after the first course! "Porky" a member of a local law enforcement detachment, "polic- ed" the meal and if you were caught copying someone else's menu, keeping utensils etc. from one course to the next, you were in- vited (with the threat of a billy stick!) to sing. Those sitting on selected mystery seats won prizes and were required to use them from time to time or also sing. A prize was given to the guest who correctly figured out the most items on the menu from the clues. After supper the guests were entertained with skits, music sung acappella by members of the Zurich Mennonite youth group, drum solo by Philip Gower and a short devotional by Pete Jansen-^ - Kippen residents attend convocation Margaret Hoggarth, Bob and Frances Kippen Correspondent Kinsman, and Judy Dunn attended the 250th MRS.
