The party for the kiddies last Sunday was a big success, and our hats off to the ladies, Mrs. Barbara Scott and her helpers, for the fine program they pre- sented. The Christmas dance is be- ing held on Monday night, Dec. 27. Keep this in mind as it al- ways draws a capacity crowd, and the New Year's party—al- ways a sell-out—will be held on Friday night, Dec. 31, complete with all the trimmings, includ- ing a smorgasbord supper some time after midnight. Tickets are only $2.50 per person, and to help the catering staff, have all tickets ordered not later than Dec. 28.
