From Tuesday's Dal?y The Young Men's Bible class of the Methodist church last evening gathered at "Sunnyside," home of their teacher, E. H. Wescott, to start the twenty-ninth year of their exist ence as a class and are today the only exclusive men's class in any of the Sunday schools of the city. The class was the outcome of a general feeling among young men of the community way back in 1906, that they should have a class that would be exclusively for the young men of the community, they gather ing at the Methodist church, then recently built at the corner of Sev enth and Main streets. The class met for a time in the church with other classes but still the urge was for quarters of their own and the mem bers of the class proceeded to carve out of the clay foundation under the church a small room which they could call their own. From the beginning the class attracted many of the young men who were not affiliated with the Methodist church but who wished the opportunity for Bible study and friendly association. The class grew and the member ship assisted the other men of the church in the final excavation of the basement of the church and the en largement of their own room to ac commodate the growing number of members. At the meeting last evening, George Perry, retiring president, gave a resume of the work of the class in the past year and presented the reports of the various officers of the class. In the election of officers the fol lowing were chosen: President Wilbur Hall. Vice-President Earl Koebel. Secretary W. L. Heinrich. Treasurer Ward Whelan. Song Leader Don C. York. Class Promotion Chairman Ran dall York. Teacher E. H. Wescott. The members of the party received reports of the Bible class meeting at Omaha and also enjoyed inspirational talks by the pastor, Rev. C. QTroy and J. Howard Davis, Sunday school superintendent. "' This meeting also marked the se lection of Mr. Wescott as teacher for the twenty-ninth year, he being a charter member of the class and each Sunday when the assembly hour ar rived Kilt has always been found at the class room and ready to Join In the presenting of the lesson of the day. He has been untiring In the work of the class and has been a friend and and counsellor to the members of the class in their daily troubles and problems. Mr. Wescott had prepared to give the class a treat but in turn was surprised by the class associates com ing with their own refreshments and the "eats were not on the house."
