Surprise Party

About twenty of Mr. and Mrs. George Barofsky's friends gave them a pleasant surprise Monday evening, Jan. 9th, the occasion being their Fifth wedding anniversary. They were presented with a nice rocking chair, which they were justly proud of. Progressive high five was the order of the evening. At a late hour a dainty lunch was served which was enjoyed by all. Those present were Mr. and Mrs. Kuhn, Underhill, Odell, Hamilton, Connelly, Shoemaker, Baumer, Morton and Messrs. Leach, Underhill.

New Year's Reception
The Epworth League gave a New Years reception at the Methodist parsonage Saturday evening, January 6. There were about eighty present.

The reception committee were clad in Japanese costumes, two rooms were decorated in Japanese festoons and lanterns, another room was trimmed in orange and black for the High School, and the house was lighted with large candles. A guessing game and recitations were part of the program. Lunch was served a-la-Japanese, with this menu:

Salad, Waldorf Astoria and wafers, Stuffed potatoes, Riced dates and tea.
