All three of the visiting speakers made entertaining and forceful addresses. They congratulated the Legion on the excellence of the club rooms and on the good chapter which the local post had maintained in the past.

A quartette composed of R.E. Ridenhour Jr., Sam Goodman, R.P. Benson and Jess Raeford sang several humorous selections.

The meeting was presided over by John M. Oglesby, former commander of the local post. Rev. C.B. Scovil opened the meeting with a short prayer, which was followed by the song, “America.” In addition to “America,” a number of other songs were sung by the members of the post, led by the quartette.

At the conclusion of the meeting, a Dutch supper was served.
