The dinner was served by ladies of the church. Eighty-six members and guests attended the affair and enjoyed recalling the events of the past also looking at pictures and scrap books of “way back when.” A continuous chain of silver metalie links v 1S the key-note of decoration us. ! .■< a symbol of the organization r the twenty-seven years of continuous activity, also depicting the conveyor system of the plant of which each member is a link in the chain of production. Milestones, made from gold paper on top of which was the replica of the pin in the shape of a blue shield, designated the years. On the shields were printed the names of the presidents and the years they served in that office. These gold milestones, entwined in the sliver chain combined with bouquets of pink carnations and white mums and tied with blue ribbon, in silver containers, and tall blue tapers, formed the table decorations. Favors marking each place were lapel vases of pink carnations, tied in blue and silver. A very unique and unusual floral decoration was received from the Elex club of the Fort Wayne works. Attached to the arrangement of blue iris, white mums and a feathery silvered background were twenty-five silver dollars. Music was furnished by Mrs. James Kocher, Jr., on the vibraharp who played selections from the past, up to the present. Miss Mary Leitz sang two vocal selections, with Miss Florence Schultz playing the piano accompaniment. E. W. Lankenau, John Welch and George Laurent attended and responded with congratulations to the club for the splendid work and progress of the past years. Mr. Lankenau also related some amusing incidents which have happened in the past. A narration of the origin and history of the club was given by Mrs. Lorena Keller, mistress of ceremonies, introducing the charter members and past presidents in the rotation in which they served. Five charter members attending and who were presented with a bouquet of flowers, were Ireta Beavers Fryback, Vera Eady. Ethel Tumbleson Essex, Gladys Reffey Baker and Bernice Kern Johnson. Five past presidents, still active in the organization, were given gavel guards for her pin and small gavels. They were Fern Passwater, Emma Goldner, Lorena Keller, Betty Smith and Anne Murtaugh. Miss Dorothy Schnepf, president, was in charge of the presentations. A small torch, emblem of vice president, was given to Rosemary Miller, and Florence Schultz received the key symbol of treasurer. Barbara Roop will wear the guard for secretary, the open book. These pins will be given to the next officers. The only president to serve three years in the organization was Olive rs, who was also plant nvr i Decatur several years ago. was given a bouquet of roses. Fern Passwater, the only member who has been continuously active for twentyfive years, and is the only Quarter Century club member in the club, was also given a bouquet of roses. Irene Meyers, club counselor for the Elex club, gave an interesting talk of her association with the club. She was also given a bouquet of roses for her assistance to the club for many years. The closing thought for the affair was that the members are not only links of the chain but each has a definite job to perform every day in the chain of production and they would do well to remember the club motto, "cooperation for realization,” for the best realization of the years to come will be through cooperation. The combined committee in charge of the party included: days, Fern Passwater, chairman, Irene Holthouse, Gladys Keller, Betty Moran, Linda Bultemeier, Cathryn Steele, Winefred McKinney, Charlotte Gephart and Lorena Keller: nights, Ethel Schlickman, co-chair-man, Frances Terveer, Thelma Andrews, Patricia Meyers and Bertha McMichael.

Door prizes, awarded to Lillie Hammond and Harriet Pollock, were bouquets used as table decorations. Elsie Brunnegraf and Anne Murtaugh, both past presidents and both ill, were remembered with flowers.
