On Thursday afternoon, October 9, the Fidelis Class of the Baptist church entertained friends and the faculty of the school at the spacious home of Mr. and Mrs. Rennie Ellis. At 5:30 when the crowd assembled, they were invited to the side lawn, where an elegant lunch was served cafeteria style. The tables were adorned with crimson dahlias in silver baskets and the same color scheme was carried out in the house. A splendid program presented by musicians among the faculty followed lunch and made the occasion a most enjoyable one. Mr. Norvelle Bryant and Miss Stringfield played the opening number, a very brilliant duet. Miss Bessie Lee Poole then pleased the audience with her sweet soprano and Mr. Stringfield brought forth rounds of applause with a cornet solo. Miss Winstead delightfully sang two charming selections. A receiving line was then formed, and all the guests had the pleasure of being presented to the teachers and saying “good night” in their own happy way. About a hundred guests enjoyed the hospitality of the Fidelis Class.
