After hunting possums, the crowd built bonfires and toasted marshmallows and told stories and jokes. They then returned to Hickory and enjoyed a midnight lunch at Drum's Cafe. Those in the party were Misses Pearl Frazier, Jo Bradford, Essie ner (that's what was printed), Gertrude Peeler, Emma Ham-Peeler (that's what was printed), Flo Frazier, Mary Bumgarrick and Misses Inez Starnes and Sadie Rosenberger of Granite Falls. Messrs. Joe Reinhardt, Bob Elliott, Everette Whisnant, Nathan Jones, Ted Hawn and Nolan Turnmire, Snub (that's what was printed) Lutz, Lawrence Crouch of Granite Falls, Wilford Weir of Elkin, H.H. Rittenbury of Macon, Ga. Miss Edna Bradford chaperoned the party. (From the Hickory Daily Record, Oct. 16, 1920)
