Our club programs consist almost entirely of talent from our membership and have won for the Club an enviable reputation, because of their high standards, the sociability of its members and doing things just different.
An innovation was the evening reception given to the president, where the husbands and friends were entertained with cards and dancing.
Our jolly Christmas Jinks will long be remembered. Mrs. Lydia W. LISTER wrote the sketch which was put on by the Dramatic Section. Several programs were given by them for the soldiers at the Presidio and one at the Sequoia Club.
While not directly interested in civics, we never turn a deaf ear to any worthy cause, contributing yearly to the Americanization fund and various other philanthropic appeals. With a very efficient corps of officers assisting in conducting the affairs of the Club and the members who stand every ready to assist, our past president, Kathleen L. BYRNE, and Mrs. Ira CROSSCUP, whose efforts have been untiring, the finances are in a splendid condition.
The club rooms at Sorosis Hall, lend themselves beautifully to our diversified programs.
There has been but one cloud to mar out happiness, the passing of our much beloved past president, Florence RICHMOND, a brilliant woman and loyal club member.
Papyrus Club has accorded me the honor of electing me its president for the second year. I look forward with anticipation and pleasure to helping guide the future of so delightful a club.
