For a successful and worthwhile year of a president's administration there should be a well setup organization with each member doing his part. On one of President Don's first meetings we all went to the Scout Camp with Indian dances after a good steak dinner. Programs
throughout this year were good. We enjoyed Wilbur Shaw's story of the Indianapolis Speedway, Jack Anderson on "The Challenge of Leisure," Charlie Wiselogel's vocational talk about the Peerless Wireworks, Russ Mitchell's
account of our work in the educational field of Germany, Herm Messing's story of "England Today", Herb Hussey's telephones (there are 40,000,000 of them in the U.S.), Glen Jenkins in Japan, and Ray Earle in Germany.
Kiwanis defeated Rotary in golf at the Country Club. A big turn-out for the Annual Kick-off luncheon with Stu Holcomb the speaker. The Club bought a $500.00 U. S. bond. Governor Reed Abel made his official visit in
November and conducted a Club Assembly following his message to the Club. The Family Night Christmas Party staged by Jim Engler and his Committee was a huge success. Yes, George helped in the entertainment with his
ever fine Riley readings. A Sons and Daughter Party. An overflow crowd of over two hundred for the 25th Anniversary Party for the Tippecanoe County 4-H Corn Club. Lincoln Lodge was packed to the rafters to hear Col.
H.G. Sheen tell about our Intelligence and Counterintelligence service, one of the best talks ever heard. A Boy Scout program with presentation of Rotary Medallions to the new Eagle Scouts; rural guests at a luncheon
packed the top floor of Lincoln Lodge; the Silver Loving cup, each year to have a student of the Agricultural Winter Course's name engraved thereon is over twenty-five years old, first established by Orsen Lloyd and
former Dean Coulter. All of these things took place during the year. Bob Nichols, who represented the Club at the Boy's State made an excellent talk. At the end of the year a new Club Roster was mailed to all members.
The Inter-City Ladies Night was held in March with Al Stewart and the Purdue Varsity Men's Glee Club providing the entertainment. There were three hundred and ten guests, twenty-three coming from Lebanon. A large
number of Rotarians and Rotaryanns attended the District Conference in Portland in April. The following month the Annual Glee Club Stag Party was held in May at Roth Park. This is an annual fish fry given to the Purdue
Glee Club. This year the Club gave them $355.00 to help the boys see Paris on their European trip. With this ending we told President Don he had done well and now could rest. |
