By MELLIFICIA.
Two OmaAo Boys, Soldiers in France,
sMeet by. Chance in French. Cantonment
A STRANGE but happy coincidence was the meeting in France of two
Omaha boys, dear friends and college chums. The boys are Sergeant
Morton Rhoades, son of Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Rhoades and Lieutenant
Kendall Hammond, son of Dr. and Mrs. J. C. Hammond.
Accounts of the meeting were written home to the families of the soldier
boys. A friend of Sergeant Rhoades, who is with the 401st motor supply com
pany, asked him to go on a visit to a neighboring camp with him. Young
Khoades consented and about the first person he met when he arrived there
v as his Omaha friend, Lieutenant Hammond. -
The boys attended Central High school and Dartmouth college together
aird are Tri Phi fraternity brothers. Neither knew, the whereabouts of his
friend, though aware that it was "somewhere in France."
Kenneth Norton and the Sibbernson boys, other pals of the same wo
soldiers, are also in France and Sergeant Rhoades, in his letter, expressed
U-.e hope that Chance would so arrange it that the group might all yieet
while on French soil. . ..... T . , . . ,
Lieutenant Hammond was the moving spirit in the Larai club during Ins
high school days. All the members pledged themselves not to smoke,
through his influence, and it would be interesting to know whether the
former president is still adhering to this smokeless program.
There was no ban laid on dancing in the club, however, and many a
girl has numberless faded dance programs with "Larai" Jn green and gold
or red and white as the case may be inscribed on the cover m flowing
letters.
Opening of Athletic Club.
Omaha society folk are looking for
0 'ward with eagerness to the opening
of the Athletic club, which is sched
uled for the middle of May, according
to the director of the club. The club
will be complete in every detail and
for lovers of indoor sports it will be
a haven indeed. Indoor golf, swim
ming, a splendidly equipped gymna
sium, bowling, tennis in fact, every
kind of sport may be indulged in by
those who love athletics.
The club will not be exclusively for
'men, for artistic tea rooms designed
v especially for cozy parties will be an
attraction of the club, and rooms for
Red Cross meetings will be very pop
ular with women who are doing their
share in that way.
For the tired business man the si
lence room will .prove a boon. Here
he may snatch 40 winks in the middle
of a busy day, or perhaps divert his
mind from stocks and bonds with a
new magazine for a half hour or so.
The dance fans have not been for
gotten. An attractive roof garden
will lure them with its shaded lights
and dance music. Already tentative
plans are forming for the opening fes
tivities in the handsome new club
house, and if a dinner-dance is ar
ranged it will attract all of Omaha's
"400."
