ONE OF THE FINEST Christmas parties in the history of the Club was the
verdict of many a Rotarian after last week's meeting.
And the youngsters went for everything in a big way.
Chairman Ralph Graber did a bang-up of planning and —
arranging. Thanks to everyone for their help. And
especially to President "Phog" for the beautiful mem-
bership plaques! Also from the youngsters, many many
thanks to "Santa Claus" Schwan for the theatre tickets!
