J. W. Coen Honor Guest at Banquet

J. W. Coen, team master of the Rebekah drill team, was the guest of honor at a banquet given by the members of the team Tuesday evening at the Qdd Fellows halll. The Rebekahs brought their husbands and Sweethearts and about sixty sat down to the banquet board that was groaning beneath a weight of fried chicken and other , things. The evening was spent playing games and listening to orchestra music Supplied by the Two Johns’ orchestra, John Healy and John Merritt. It had been planned to surprise Mt. Coen, but the cold weather caused John to cling so closely to his own fireside that he had to be told tlhe occasion before he would venture forth. But all enjoyed it just as much as though the surprise plan had worked out.
