Rensselaer Social Club Had Swell Feed Tuesday Evening.

The Rensselaer social club had a swell little banquet Wednesday even- 4 ing at the rooms in the K. of P. buildThe ten active members had invited about as many outsiders, inctading several high school boys and trtfew men who have shown interest SRthe young fellows and their athletic tpdeavors. A swell “feed" was the tttest important part of the event. Vial loaf, frankfurters, mashed potat)«|s, brown gravy, potato chips, olives, bfib cream, cake and coffee. The boys did the serving and everything went off smoothly. Perry Horton performed on the piano, all the popular songs were sung, with Harry Eger leading, several toasts were offered and a sofa pillow was presented to the club. It was the. gift of Miss Irma Kannal, and was made by her. The body of the pillow was of gold felt, with a large black cord around it and a large bow tied in one corner. Across the front of the pillow were the Greek letters “B-O-E,” the insignia of the fraternity organized here two or three years ago. Neatly worked in black floss were the initials of the thirty young men who have joined the club. The .pillow was presented by James H. S. Ellis, Jr., owing to the extreme modesty of Harry Parker, who acted as custodian of the pillow en route to the club rooms. Kenneth Allman acted as toastmaster and Fred Hamilton, the latest acquisition to the membership of the club, was required to sing “School Days,” which seemed a painful duty to him and his hearers. H. F. Parker, Rice Porter, Zern Wright and G. H. Healey were guests. It was some banquet and all enjoyed it hugely.
