in true Reubenite style
The musical program proved to be
the real feature of the day as atten

est- Included on the program were:
Miss Dorothy Springs, whose piano
playing and vocal rendition of “Roses
ci' Piccardy” brought rounds of ap
plause; Mr. Leroy Gude, an unusually
smooth tenor, was repeatedly encored;
•Mr- Innman Hayes, who surprised
even his close friends with two se
lect ons; Mr. Harry Anderson, w’ho
captivated the group with the selection
“Sylvia”; Miss Vonceil Anderson, an
accomplished young musician accom
panied Mr. Anderson; Mrs. Helen
McWhorter whose enticing strains
rent the atmosphere with edifying
thrills as she rendered popular selec
tions of the day, had her usual poise.
The Rev. T- E. Williams gave a brief
but interesting talk on the Origin of
Mothers Day.
Tbe club, under the skillful guidance
oi" J. L. Taylor, President, is rapidly
ecming into its own as one of Oma
